Miseaujeu 291 Report post Posted June 5, 2013 Old's cool:New Old Stock Mission Amp Flyweight S, vintage 2000.I missed the cut of Mission's old boots with the three vertical eyelets--I rolled around in some Proto V's for years until the toe box on one boot split open. These are sweet. I love the look, the materials feel great, the tongue is incredibly plush and they're stiff down low yet very pliable up top. Can't wait to try them out. I'm just a little bummed the pitch3's on my old, unused s400's (size 11 / 46) are 288 and these notoriously bad holders are 280, but the boot fit's better in the Flyweight. Maybe I'll put CXN's on when I can.I know Mission used to say skate size = boot size, but that only works for me if I look at the European size, where I'm usually a 45. This 45 Mission as a 10 comes nowhere near my shoe size, where I can go down to an 11 if I ignore advice about room for the toes, but then that's likely due to all of that manufacturer inconsistency.Extreme rare find. Made in Taiwan. This is really the OG Flyweight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flip12 735 Report post Posted June 6, 2013 Someone made fun of me because of the Mako's, chirping me because of the cost. The best part was his defensive partner was wearing them too. I got a kick out of that.That's pretty funny. It disqualifies it as chirping in my mind too. Just sounds like someone's a little jealous Extreme rare find. Made in Taiwan. This is really the OG Flyweight.I was excited to find these and have had my eyes on a pair for years. They impressed me just on initially trying them on. Can't wait to get them on the ice. Now to find a quality sharpener in Copenhagen!Getting my Winterfest set dialed in.Great look. I love the midnight/navy with columbia/light blue combination. U-Maine's uniforms have always been my favorite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ibeck 38 Report post Posted June 7, 2013 The hard plastic is from the 2010 projekt shoulders. I added a double layer of foam underneath and a layer of poron on top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where did you get the poron from? I have a few sample sheets left that I could use for a project like yours though I think it would be more protective to have it on the bottom of the sandwich, not that anyone would want to test that extensively of course.

Crossen463 8 Report post Posted June 9, 2013 Two twigs from the Rivermen leftover sale. Sebastian Wannstrom Reebok 20k's. I tried decoding these to the best of my knowledge, so I basically only know two things about them. 80 bones for the pair though, so I feel like it was a steal.

Krev 86 Report post Posted June 10, 2013 So a bunch of people have been asking to see the stick collection, and I finally got around to taking a picture of it. Left to right: V9E, RS2 (SE16's) x2, '05 Stealth x3, T-Flex x5, SiCore Grip, Synergy Gold x2, SiCore x3, Dolomite x4, Dolomite Spyne. A bunch of prostocks thrown in there. Pretty decent, if I do say so myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JSK81 400 Report post Posted June 13, 2013 http://www.icewarehouse.com/descpage.html?pcode=ACWRIS9For some people though, the fact that they have a Reebok logo means they're not protective enough. Jofa gear was just so much better in every way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
