Reebok RBK 9K Pump Special Edition

After first reviewing the Reebok 9K Pump, the skates that Sidney Crosby wears, people started e-mailing and asking about the White Reebok 9K Pumps. These are the skates that are worn by Ryan Smyth and Alexei Kovalev. Notice Ryan Smyth has the custom blue blade holder for his Pumps!
They, along with the CCM V10 Vector Special Edition are basically the same skate as their respective regular models, but are marketed by the company as a “Special Edition” more or less because they are a different color.
I’m not against this type of marketing as it sells more skates and they are at least a different color. However, stores should not charge more for the same skate that is only a different color. For a skate to be worth more, it should have some additional functional features.
I realize that the White RBK 9K Pumps are a hot item, so you can try and pick them up Here on Ebay.

When these special edition’s came out they were actually marked cheaper then the normal black 9k’s. which is stupid. Tyler is right they should never be more or less, when they are the same skate just different colours.

Just picked up a pair of these today along with the new 10k gloves.. This is by far the most comfortable skate I’ve ever worn.. it’s like a skate with the same comfort as a running shoe. So worth the money if you play alot of hockey.
