90's Skates

[Jgscenter 16]

Thought I'd put a old school question out there.

What you favorite old (and I mean really old) skate model?

652, 752, 1052

3000, 4000, Comps, Comp 5000 that sort of thing.

I loved my CCM 652 and 1052

What do you think?

For the young guys, Vapor XXX was sweet too

652s and my beloved old Bauer Vapor 10s!

Graf 703

Micron Mega Air 90s and CCM 652s tied for a not so close second.

[Coldclay 53]

Micron Mega Air 90 and I still wear my Vapor XXX (not 90's but still old school, sorta) today...

[flip12 715]

Vapor XXX's are old now, but they weren't 90's skates. Weren't they from '04 or '05?

[beerleaguecaptain 999]

If you think 90s are old......

Graf 603's and 701's

[asgoodasdead 74]

i still skate in Graf 703s from 2000

652 Vacutacks

[FlyChicaga 21]

It's a toss up between my CCM Tacks 652s or Bauer Supreme Custom 4000's. I think the Tacks looked way cooler, and were what my favorite player Chris Chelios wore back in the day.

i had the 652 pumps. my girlfriend wears them now whenever we go to public skate or pond skating. they're still in perfect shape since i outgrew them rather quickly

852 Tacks

Daoust 555

[AronB 4]

Micron Mega 10-90's

Daoust 501

[Anjin-san 29]

Bauer Supreme Custom 3000

[MyBoxersSayJoe 133]

My Graf 703's without a doubt. I remember they were much more expensive than the Bauers and CCM's at the time and definitely worth it.

952 tacks, loved them so much.

Also Bauer/Mega air 90s

[bnr032 11]

i had some 752 Kevlar tacks - non pump model.

they were great - when i came back to the sport - i literally spent hours/days trying to find a pear in my size hoping i would find something..

no dice :(

Im still rocking 1052.  However the only time i am on the ice is with my son.

Micron/Mega Air 90. They ruined them when they changed them to Bauer's. 

[Vuronov 18]

CCM 752s where my first and serves me long and well and probably my favorites from back then.

Also liked the Micron Mega Air 90s had for awhile.

I ended up going to 952s, sold them and got 1052s which lasted me for years(with a few years off from hockey) right up until I bought some Reebok 11K whites which then lead me to my current Makos, which are my all time favorites!

Bure seemed to think so as well.

I might not have the memory or product knowledge from back then, but if I am not mistaken the Micron Mega were manufactured under CAN-STAR (same with the Daoust around that time?) which I believe at the time encompassed Bauer as well, so technically the Air 10-90 Bure wore were Bauer. Again I might be wrong.

Sorry for clogging, but pictures help bring back memories

1st pair ever

2nd pair ever

  game changers.  maybe my favorite ever

 

  heavy and stiff as all hell

most comfortable boot ever

vapor 10's still going

actually had the pro composite model

current picture, current condition.  Had a pair of mega's form PIAS, but grew out of them quick.  20+ years later have brand new pairs

never used them in the 90's but currently have them now.  Was always fascinated with these skates back then

very stiff, but never broke down.  finally threw them out 2 years ago

Bauer's with kuzak split.  Nothing better
