The original Nike Bauer Supreme One90 hockey skates came out in 2006 and sold rapidly, however it has nothing on its highly anticipated sequel, the Nike Bauer Supreme One95 hockey skates. Brand new for 2008, this hockey skate is awesome. Many NHL players are already using the skate. The Nike Bauer Supreme One95 Hockey Skate is very similar to Nike Bauer Supreme One90 hockey skates except for a couple of notable differences.
The main innovation in the Nike Bauer Supreme One95 hockey skate is the new material it is made out of. The new Nike Bauer Supreme One95 hockey skate is constructed a material called ALIVE. Interestingly enough, this material is not epoxy based like most hockey skates. Normal hockey skates that are epoxy based do not allow for the actual boot to me molded in the "baking" process, but only the inner features of the boots such as moldable gels. However, the Nike Bauer Supreme One95 hockey skate actually has an entire boot that molds to your foot during the "baking" process! Also as a bit of a bonus, this ALIVE material is 30-40% lighter than the material used for the Nike Bauer Supreme One90 hockey skates.
The other notable difference is mainly just the looks of the new Nike Bauer Supreme One95 hockey skate. This actually makes the hockey skate much more appealing. It seems like hockey skates in general keep getting flashier with silver and sparkles all over the place. I think it's great that Nike Bauer decided to go back to a more traditional look for the new One95 hockey skate. The One95 hockey skate is mostly black with a slight bit of blue mixed in. Nike Bauer also went back to the traditional felt skate tongue. They also decided to scrap that purple, sparkly TUUK. They kept all the features of the new TUUK Lightspeed 2 Bladeholder design with the longer runner for more contact with the ice to make the power player skate even faster, but they gave it a classic white look.
PRICE: The Nike Bauer Supreme One95 hockey skates are definitely at the top of the price spectrum as far as hockey skates go. However, it is well worth the cost. These hockey skates have been designed for the pros of the NHL. The Nike Bauer Supreme One95 senior hockey skates (sizes 6-13) are priced at $649.99. The Nike Bauer Supreme One95 Junior hockey skates (sizes 1-5.5) are priced at $399.99.
It is important to note that Nike Bauer, like many companies, has issued M.A.P. pricing on all of their top-end products. This means that no retailer is allowed to sell these Nike Bauer products for less or more than the price they have set for the particular product. In other words, you will not find the Nike Bauer Senior Supreme One95 hockey skate legitimately for less than $649.99.
