i agree they look really ugly, and they look nothing like the XX's or the XXX's.

i think that all the equipment that bauer made was of better quality and performance than that of nike bauer. All the things that bauer used to make before nike bought them was a lot better,like the vapor xxx. i used to like bauer but eversince nike bought it out i dislike the brand.

does anyone here like nike bauer more than the old Bauer?

bauer skates for example (XXX) at least look better than nike for example (0ne90) that doesnt mean they are better im just saying what looks better.

but looks dont mean anything
like i mite have a stick from 1920 and u might have the newest stick out that cost 400$(example rbk 9K O) but if i can snipe the goalie every time and you miss the net every time it really doesnt matter wat kind of gear you have longest as you can work with it

like i always hear this curve sucks when kids get new sticks and how bad does the curve suck if he shoots better then you ya my point is it doesnt matter

I posted this below, but here it is again, with a few changes...

Nike is one of the best marketing companies in the world. Just like the auto makers, they bring out new models every year. But that doesn't mean their new models are always the best available, only the most expensive. It also means last year's hot model will soon be available at a significant discount. What is best is a case of personal preference. Expensive equipment like $600 skates or a $400 stick isn't going to make a B player into an A player - only hard work and talent can do that.
I have not seen the new XXXX. I think the Supreme One90s are way too stiff and way too expensive (as are they XXXs) Besides, these super stiff skates are probably too stiff for most youth players (except the few that are over 200 pounds). The most important factor in skates is fit. I prefer an old-fashioned sewn boot to the newer foam injected boots (like the Vapor or Vector lines). I have a pair of Bauer 6000s and a pair of Mission S500s. The 500s were "top of the line" a couple of years ago at $400+ and have recently been on sale at Hockeygiant for $100. So, save some money and avoid buying this year's hot fad skate.

There aight
Does anyone no the difference between those and XXX's beside the looks?

benelli36 · Post by **benelli36** » Tue Feb 27, 2007 9:07 am

i honestly like the just the Bauer Vapor XXX then the new Nike Bauer Vapor XXXX...after i saw them the XXXX look really ugly

I think they are pretty ugly but it doesn't really matter what they look like, only if they fit you right and you like them

they look sweet but cost a zillion dollars

Wolfpack7 · Post by **Wolfpack7** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 10:52 am

after i seen them at the expo i changed my mind. there not that bad but no way worth $700

RBKhockey77 · Post by **RBKhockey77** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 2:10 pm

well they definetly aren't 700. I talked to a rep and they are retailing for 500.00 and they aren't lighter than the one90, but are lighter than the vapor xxx.

The One 90s are lighter than the Vapor XXXXs by 50 grams.

Everyone on here is hyping about how bad they look. They don't look THAT bad. Sure, they are pretty showy, but I think once people get used to them, people will be more tolerable about them.

if you want light skates check out the Easton S15's. I tried them on at the expo and you can barely tell there on your feet.

Easton Skates are the best
