What do you think of the skates?

 

[AARONSWORLD]

Not a fan of the look. Especially the big vapor logo on the side. They shoulda just left them like the prototype version. The all black with red sole looks dope

They look like Yeezys, and the jewel on the quarters by the eyelets is a rip off of True’s Chrome Tornado.

They're not the ugliest thing that Bauer has ever put out but the prototypes looked way better

Nowhere close to as nice as the prototype as we all expected.

They’ll probably look good in custom colors with matching trim. The red and yellow just has to go.

Agree I prefer the prototype look , but I don’t these are all that bad...would be better without the huge “Vapor”

Agree with this. It's so weird to see ice skates look like roller hockey skates from the 2000s

Way to busy with the graphics and colors. Flip12's observation about True logo is spot on. It's like the design team had to add at least 15 pieces of flair. Fugly skates.

The yellow certainly distracts from the new Rocket Runner 2.0

I can’t wait for the giant graphic trend to die. How hard is it to make a black skate? The prototypes were so awesome. These look terrible

[Dishmaster]

Why did they put Trues logo on the side though lol

[konglung]

prototype is way better imo...the new skates remind me of a dead fish..

Lots of opinions on the look. Any comments on the performance? Is the new tongue durable enough? Does the new facing/eyelets and flexible outsole make a difference flex wise? Interesting that for the first time since the XX's vapors don't have that ribbed feature on the quarters.
Does the CF in the runners really make a difference weight wise? Any issues sharpening them?
