Nike's Line Of Hockey Sticks And Skates?
Nike Bauer's current skate offerings are the hottest on the market. Both the Vapor line which was revamped 5 years ago and the Supreme line (the One90 is the # 1 selling skate in the market) model are excellent skates.





Not sure how well the technology and performance translate to the $200 models, but if you're willing to pay a little more, you will not be disappointed with their higher end skates. Make sure you try a few models on to make certain their fit is a comfortable for you. Ultimately, a skate purchase should be decided by fit and comfort, regardless of the brand.





As for sticks, I believe their Vapor XXX Lite or One90 are the best high end values at $160. You are not going to find a better stick for the price. The company has essentially subsidized it's stick line in order to get better market penetration. Sticks that should be retailing for $180 - $200 are priced at $160 to help the brand establish itself against the likes of Easton in the category.





It's a bold move on their part, but the consumer gets a fantastic deal as long as that strategy is in effect.
Reply:Nike purchased Bauer. I will always think of Bauer as a manufacturer of skates. Bauer skates have always been great for me. My son, on the other hand, has a wider foot and CCM Tacks are the best for him. Sticks are a personal preference. It does not matter the brand name or the price but it is what is best for you. I like a more rigid stick. I know a lot of players that like a stick with a lot of flexibility. When I was younger I always used Christian. Since Christian does not make a lot of sticks these days, I use Sher-Wood and Easton. I am sure Nike makes a quality hockey stick but I have never used one.
Reply:since nike bought bauer the quality of their products went through the roof i would rate the skates the best ones out there and the sticks 3rdbest only behind easton, who dominates the stick market and tps .





The best skates they have are the XXXX which run a little over $500 after that you have the XXV which run about $265 then the XXII at 190 they are all great skates i would never puchace any thing lower than the XX's which were the older model





The sticks out r the XXX XXXlite XXXwoody and the One90's which run around or a little above $200 more around 190 tho. but if you dont get one of those sticks if you really want nikebauer get the XX at about $110 but they stopped making those so good luck getting a right handed one if u r right handed if you dont need nike and r looking to spend 200 on a stick definatly go with the easton stealth CNT the blue one which runs at $199 or the new silver easton synergy which is at $170 those are the best sticks out there untill the well waited release of the NikeBauer XXXX stick but that will be about $400 for a stick





so good luck and i hope i gave you the info u were looking for
