Reebok Hockey launches the new 9K Pump Skate
The new skate that powered Sidney Crosby and Pavel Datsyuk to the Stanley Cup Final MONTREAL, May 23 /PRNewswire/ -- On Sunday June 1st the wait will be over. After much anticipation, REEBOK Hockey will be unveiling its newly re-designed 9K Pump skate. Hockey enthusiasts will finally be able to get their hands on the skates that have helped Sidney Crosby and Pavel Datsyuk excel in the NHL playoffs this year.
Following the initial success of the first generation of the 9K pump skate launched in 2005, REEBOK Hockey has taken skate design to the next level with this year's model. Developed in collaboration with NHL players, the new REEBOK 9K pump enhances the efficiency of energy transfer to the ice through its stability and structural support while being one of the lightest skates in the market. The 9K Pump skate guarantees heel lock, ankle support, and enhanced forward flex, accelerating more power and speed into each and every stride. Featuring Pump Technology which offers players the maximum in personalized performance and comfort, the 9K also includes Pro Armour III R-Core Outer shell, a lightweight core that provides structural support and superior stability for the skater. Additional features such as Dri-Lex liner with Aegis Micro Shield, Griptonite Footbed, and Lightweight Low Profile Carbon Outsole reinforce comfort and stability for the skater, allowing them to focus on their performance on the ice.
Some of the NHL's most talented players have embraced the 9K Pump as their skate of choice for the past NHL season. Among others, Sidney Crosby, Dion Phaneuf, Pavel Datsyuk, Patrice Bergeron, Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin and Nik Antropov relied on the 9K Pump skate. Post-season, the new 9K Pump Hockey Skate has been part of the success behind Sidney Crosby and Pavel Datsyuk's performance. After the first three rounds of the playoffs, Crosby is tied for # 1 and Datsyuk is tied for # 3 in playoff scoring - no doubt due to their speed and agility on the ice. The 9K Pump skate is available in Youth ($149.99), Junior ($329.99) and Senior ($549.99) sizing and is available in key sporting goods stores across America.
