Just got them for 445$ and got them heated to my feet and they are great. My dad has old skates that were 600$ when he bought them and these ones are much nicer as they are newer and they are lightweight but durable very pleased.
Went to a local shop today and tried a pair of size 8.0 Nexus N2700 "D" on and still was making my feet numb. I have really wide feet and couldn't even handle 15 min on the ice at a time in my Supreme S160 "D" that I bought new last year. Unfortunately the shop did not have the Nexus N2700 "EE" or Nexus N2900 "EE" for my size in stock. What I really wanted to know is at my size 6'2" 235 lbs. should I try the Nexus N2700 "EE" or the Nexus N2900 "EE"? Fairly new skater here but I want something I'm going to have for quite a few years. Hopefully one of those two will work and don't have to go the custom route as I'm not prepared to pay that kind of price for my skill level.
Try the EE. Whether it's a 27 or 29 does not make much difference in width. However, your weight dictates that the 2900 is a better choice as you'll need good ankle support.
Hi. I stupidly bought Supreme 1S online without trying them on and they give me a pretty bad lace bite, and fail the pencil test pretty much on every eyelet from tow box to the top. I'm thinking of replacing them either with 2N or N2900 or N9000. Which would you recommend? BTW the size is 5EE. Thanks for your advice!!!
a 5EE in supreme will likely be different than a 5EE in nexus. Theyre already super wide. If you have any hockey shops within a reasonable distance you need to go there and try on everything possible. Its usually a terrible idea to buy skates and helmet online unless youre just replacing something that you already own. Lastly Id recommend the N9000 I believe theyre still Curv quarters and bauer reallly doesnt put that much tech in the nexus line to begin with. might have a hard time finding a pair though.
im using a vapor line skate at the moment and they feel way too narow im getting serious pain through the whole foot ankles also so im considering nexus or supreme but not sure wich since its hard to tell in the shop what fit is best because the pains start after skateing
You can feel if the skate is correct when you're in the store. If the skate does not feel completely comfy, it's not the right skate. NEVER let some asshat seller tell you that it'll go away etc. Once baked, it should feel like a nice glove that just hugs your foot.
How come the N2900 are 65 grams heavier than the lower model N2700? Isn't the material fiber composite better & lighter than plastic on N2700. I used N7000 (& Vapor X:60) - would N2700 be the newer equivalent to N7000 & N2900 to N8000? Are N2900 really much better in action justifying the $170 price jump to N2700?
@@vghnmj5523 You need to try them. As said, the difference is significant. Do you know for a fact that you're a narrow fit? Most are "normal" fit which is the Supreme.
@@jtsantigate9927 Unless you're skating on a really high level, yes, the 2700 is a good choice as you will grow out of it. What you can do is this adding a pair of Superfeet soles and a nice set of Step Steel runners. Those two things will add up to a much better skate than say a 2900. And if you stick with Tuuk edge holders, chances are that you can switch your Step Steel runners to the next pair of skates you purchase.
@@Ryezn5057 Yes they are. One thing to keep in mind. The profile is a bit different than stock LS2. It's closer to LS3/LS4. But generally speaking, while the LS2 profile is very common, that's not the same as it's the best. Even without additional profiling, once you get the hang of the Step profile, your skating will improve. But also note that there's plenty of steel on a Step to get it profiled for what ever you like. At any rate, it's a major upgrade. When I get new skates, I don't take them out on the stock steel even once. New skates and a pair of Step runners go together in my book.
I own these. They took an hour to break in with baking in my oven at home. Get through that first hour of pain and you’ll be good to go!

Hi can someone tell me which size I should get. My shoe size is 7
Which ever line you are, Vapor, Nexus or Supreme, start with a 6 and try all lines. You cannot purchase skates if you can't try them on.
Probably want 5 or 5.5

Ok so i want to buy the 1x s17 skates and is there a big difference between the ee and the d sizes? Please reply asap
There's definitely a difference between D and EE, what skate and skate size are you currently in?

@@ice.warehouse im in 8.5 and since the 1x is more of a tighter skate does it make a difference?

are these the widest skates made right now
How do these compare to the older N9000's?
These replace the N8000's and not the N9000's, so they don't a handful of the elite-level features that the N9000's had.
Chase at IW Hockey
What features are those? Are the 2900's full composite or mixed with tech-mesh?
@@ice.warehouse Im on N9000's but need to size up....wonderin whether to go N2 or N2900
What is the difference between this and the n2700
I’m a 13-year-old kid that’s foot is still growing should I get the n2700?
And compared the the 2n?
