Nike Bauer Vapor XXXX

Mirkz and I went out the other day to Cockburn Ice Arena to check out the latest range of ice hockey skates and try a few pairs on. We basically just went there to get sizing as I knew the prices would be substantially more than buying online.

I tried on a pair of Nike Bauer XXII's for $449 and some Eastons for $249 (which felt pretty cheap and nasty). I found out that my sizing was around the 4,5 mark which was also a bonus as I am a junior boot.

That evening I jumped on eBay and started checking out the higher spec boots in the hope that I could get a better pair for less. And I did.

I bought a pair of Nike Bauer Vapor XXXX (called X 40's) off eBay and received them within 10 days at AUD 305 landed. Mirkz struck up a similar deal and scored the Nike Bauer Supreme One15's.

Now to head out and get them moulded and have a go at them!
