Bauer Hockey is preparing for the release of their new Supreme skate line, where the Supreme One80 skates will be replaced by the new Bauer Supreme One.8 skates. Coming in at a $400 price point, the Supreme One.8 skates will be made for an intermediate to advanced level skater.
The quarter package on the Bauer Supreme One.8 will be made of 3D anaformable light weight tech mesh. The tech mesh upper will be similar to the material found on the quarter package of the Vapor X60 skates. The One.8 boot will be fairly stiff as well, but not as much as you would expect from a top end Bauer boot with composite construction.
Inside the Supreme One.8, you’ll find a quick-drying hydrophobic true-suede synthetic leather liner, and lightweight anaform fit foam ankle pads. These are essentially the same components found on its predecessor, but are still of high quality. The 48 oz. 2-piece felt tongue with high density metatarsal guard, for additional lace bite protection, were also featured on the One80 and will make their way into the One.8 skates. Finally, your foot will be resting on the form-fit footbed with stabalizer grip to help keep that foot locked into place. Bauer makes a decent stock footbed, but don’t be shy about potentially switching it out for Yellow Superfeet. The boot itself will, of course, be fully thermoformable. This will allow you to get a more custom fit for your foot.
Beneath the boot, you’re going to find a full composite outsole. This will help in maximizing energy transfer from every stride as the energy moves more efficiently down into your foot and through the outsole. Your also going to be stocked with a great Tuuk Lightspeed 2 holder, and the LS 2.1 power stainless steel runner.
Most of the components featured on the Bauer Supreme One.8 skates are the same or very similar to those found on the One80. That means this boot will be a great pick up for anyone who has worn down their One80’s released in 2010, or even their Supreme One75’s from 2008.
The biggest change for the Supreme One.8 will obviously be the graphics. They look very similar to those found on the One.9, Total One NXG, the rest of the new Supreme skate line, and also stick with the same black color scheme with gold accents that we saw on their last line.
You can expect to see the new Bauer Supreme One.8 skates in stores, and available online, this April. Until then, take a look at the Supreme One.8 skates below and let us know what you think!
do these skates feature the total edge comfort??
no they do not only the total one nxg features the total edge comfort
It kind of looks like it does.
I just got the one80s yesterday and haven’t gotten a chance to skate in them but they feel like a glove and very very light, lighter than my old skates I used in squirts even, but now I see I was only a few weeks short of being able to get the newest or a big discount on the 80s. So my question is, did I just miss out on a worthwhile proformance upgrade, or is it really just a newer look? Thank you in advance.
I say keep them if you need them immediately. If you can hold out another month or so when retailers are clearing out this year’s products so they can stock the 12-13 gear do so.
It might be hard to find by now, but I got the one80s for $370 (CAN) while the one.8 cost over $500 (prices found at Pro Hockey Life). SInce they are pretty much the same thing, get the one 80s if possible now
how do the one 80s feel? I suppose your have skated on them enough to know by now… I read on hockey monkey that a lot of people where having problems with them breaking down/ outer coating peeling off… what say
I just bought a used pair for $50 (still in very good shape) at a yard sale. The kid who owned them “outgrew them” and was away at boarding school on a hockey scholarship(!) — his mom called him to find out the width and he answered “DONT SELL THEM!” and she laughed and sold them to me anyway. LOL. I’m an old slow-guy hockey player and even I noticed a big difference when I skated yesterday. These seem like fantastic skates and I haven’t even gotten them molded — I mean they’re shaped for some (sad mad) kid’s foot right now and they completely out performed and were more comfortable than my broken in old Bauer vapors (which were mid-level, not starter level vapors, too.) — DONT SELL THEM. ahahah! I should feel guilty but I’m too psyched about these skates! I got on the internet to find out how much they cost. 469? $50! I did good!
