I hope they’re bringing back the option to order them with white trim… they’ve been teasing it…

These are the 9x4, but are all I’m waiting for. Been asking True for years to make a white pair for roller (or ice that can be converted to roller)

Have you asked your retailer to see if they would accommodate? They would just use the facing and white toecap that's used for the goalie skates to make it happen. I also seen the white done for a teammate of mine. It was the tf customs model from a few years back.

Screenshot from IG, sorry I forgot who posted it. Finally a good look at the new Jetspeed. Looks like they're using the Forc composite, toe caps and tongues from the latest Tacks. I think they look pretty fantastic.

The recent CCM tendon guard is the ugliest thing in hockey since the Nike Quest helmet.

I spot 3 major design areas that could use refinement - 1) the toe cap, 2) the holder, 3) the carbon fiber bulge at the heel of the boot.

But like I said, I'll take functionality in a skate over design any day, but don't think the two need to be mutually exclusive either.

I think the toe cap could get better. Holders get swapped so I’m not too worried either way, though they could spruce those up as well. The heel bulge is a feature in my mind. That’s what a lot of people’s anatomy looks like. The straight angled heel of most skates is puzzling to me.

Waiting to hear back on when it would be possible to order a pair

I, personally, think the FT6 looked better, but maybe another color way of these will change my mind. The new tendon guard seems like a downgrade. The flexibility of the FT6’s was amazing!

As far as I know, they won’t do it, I asked multiple times. True themselves told me, that they were “always working on things”, but nothing specific. The only pair I ever saw, was made for Mitch Marner.

Ft6 do look better. But the toecap on these look better. Xf pros looks the best but the cracking issues is definitely a big concern.

Depending on who you ask you'll get different answers. People have been told no about getting the tan clarino liners with true. And also no regarding pre drilled holes for other brands holders. But both have been done and seen online a number of times. I've seen the white toe cap and facing on player skates personally. Like I said, it's just using what they have already which is used for goalie skates. The only difference between the goalie skates and player skates is the holder and the tendon guard/Lundy loop. I also think some retailers that puts in the custom orders have have more pull than others.

With the 9x4, it’d be a white toe cap, facing, tendon guard, and the heel cover. 
 

I asked True multiple times over the years because they clearly had the parts to do it on goalie skates and was always told ‘no’. But when I inquired about these whiteout and the blackout 9x4 they simple said ‘stay tuned’
