The Daoust 301 OG Retro Intermediate ice hockey skates combine the unmistakable charm of a vintage skate with the performance technologies that modern young players demand. Its 40/60 composite boot offers a reliable balance of stability and flexibility, providing young or advanced skaters with the support they need without sacrificing comfort. This construction ensures a controlled and secure feel with every stride, allowing players to improve their skating technique while enjoying a classic look that stands out on the ice. The Diamond Fit tread pattern enhances foot stability with a secure fit, ensuring the skate remains responsive during quick turns, starts, and long training sessions. The thermo-moldable VE poly-foam padding inside the skate molds to the individual shape of the skater's foot, providing enhanced comfort and adaptability. This padding works perfectly with the Checkered Performance Moisture Management microfiber lining, which efficiently wicks away sweat and moisture, keeping skates dry and fresh throughout the game. The classic 7mm felt tongue, combined with a nylon wrap and TPU-50 lace guard, offers the perfect blend of protection, comfort, and the traditional skate feel that players and parents alike appreciate. Reinforced with Black Comp Poly Mix materials, the construction remains robust and durable even with frequent use, helping young players confidently push their limits. Every element of the 301 OG is designed to enhance performance on the ice, including the checkered 4mm grip felt footbed, which provides stability and securely locks the foot in place during powerful strides. The Perfecta Kwik-1 quick-change blade system allows for fast and easy blade changes while maintaining consistent power transfer. Combined with the SLM Carve blades made of brushed stainless steel, players benefit from durable edges, reliable gliding, and clean carving on the ice. The Daoust 301 OG blends retro aesthetics with modern technology and is the ideal choice for young players who want timeless style and optimal performance with every move.
