Update: The Reebok 7k roller hockey skates are now available from Inline Warehouse for only $269.99, a great value for this skate. Head over to IW now to check them out!
Joining the Reebok 11k and 9k roller hockey skates this fall will be the Reebok 7k Pump roller hockey skates. The new 7k’s will be the lowest price point skate to feature the Reebok Pump technology. If you’re not familiar with the Reebok Pump, it allows you to personalize your fit a bit more and give you a better heel lock as you pump up the air pockets. In addition, it will also feature the same new Labeda 4x80mm set-up that we’re seeing on the other skates in the Reebok 2012 line. Reebok and Labeda did a great job teaming up for this new chassis, as they gave it a great custom look that meshes with the skate perfectly.
When you take a look at the specs, you’ll see that the Reebok 7k inline skate will be a great mid-level skate. You’re going to get a really nice felt toungue that will fit the contours of your feet, and offer great lace bite protection as well. The 7k will also be the lowest level skate that still offers the lace-lock technology, keeping your laces tight for the entire game. As I mentioned before, you get the largely popular Labeda chassis, as well as Labeda Millenium wheels and Abec 7 bearings.
The 2012 Reebok 7k inline skates are now available from Inline Warehouse and run $269.99.
What are your thoughts on the new Reebok 7k roller hockey skates for 2012? Will you be picking up a pair when they hit stores?
Any word on the price range for these Reebok7K.. I’m growing tired of Bauer’s disgustingly high priced skates and am considering a change.
Will they be making the 9k in white?
