Gaborik Wearing Vapor XXXX Skates

I posted some time ago about the new Nike Bauer Vapor XXXX skates that are set to be released in June 2007. They are slowly working their way into the National Hockey League.
It appears that the players are starting to get them broken in and are now wearing them in games.
This is a picture of Marian Gaborik wearing his Vapor XXXX skates during a recent game. If you notice, he has customized his bladeholder featuring the Minnesota Wild Green!
The dark bladeholder reminds me of Petr Nedved, Ryan Smyth and Jaromir Jagr, who wear black bladeholders.

Where can you get the black holders

You can get the custom bladeholders from your local hockey retailer or skate shop. They should be able to custom order them for you. The cost and the time it takes to get htem to your store will vary of course.
Thanks for commenting, I really appreciate it!

Anotoine Vermette wears these too on the Ottawa Senators. Also with maybe 15-30 more people in the NHL.

hey, the nikebauer endure is extremly good, i have it , i got it for 209$, and its great, and i love it, the only problem is, im a intermidiate, but i use 67 flex, and the nikebauer endure, or well where i live, only comes in 77 flex, but i still use it, i seem to have better puck control with the higherflex sticks.
