Mission D1 skates

Your local dealer can put orders in now. Each territory is allocated a certain number of pairs. You might want to have your dealer call Mission and put an order in the system.

Good Luck!

For your guys's information....some of your info. is wrong. First, the G90 is nothing like the D-1. The D-1 is a superb boot. Ive been skating on the D-1 model since mid-july and although they have made a few stiffness adjustments to the boot since then...it still makes for a great fit. The skate bake really helps alot. The boot and tongue on all the DNA skates form very well to the feet after you bake them. Second, the D-1 and the D limited are completely different boots. The D-lim's are entirely softer and have less stiffeners than the D-1's. Like somebody said before...the D-limited is basically the ice Pure Fly with a lacing adjustment. The new DNA skates have a unique lacing system that pulls the whole side of the boot up and over your foot rather than pinching off the top (like conventional boots). Ive been playing hockey for nearly 11 years now...since I was 8...and Ive skated on several skates. My opinion: Tour skates were the worst skate I had ever been on...I mean I anged the chassis on my boot and the inside of the sole was made of cardboard. Mission skates have always been my favorite...and now with all the extra skating I'm doing these days...the D-1 is REALLY the best boot Ive ever put my feet in. I recommend the D-1 over the D-limited to hockey players who tend to take a bit of a beating every now and then...because the D-lim's are a bit too soft to protect from the shots and slashes that come in the upper divisions. But if your for looks and snaz...go for the d-limiteds. If you need more info...you can talk to the mission guys at Winternationals. I know they'll be lonely. There I said my peace.

Justin, I hope this doesnt get me into trouble??? lol.

I never said the D-1 and the G90 are one in the same. In my opinion if you love mission's and get the D-1, you wont be dissappointed, same with tour fans and the G90's. I have bought Missions since 96' and this is by far one of the nicest skatest for its time. Ever since I got them skate baked it has made it so much more comfortable. And trust me I appreciate the D-1, my last skate was the Vsi Vibe and we all know how great they were. lol

dude i agree

How did you find the sizing to be on these?
I see they have listed a "D" and "EE".
Are the "EE" really much wider?

**missionhockey21** · 01-08-2003, 07:56 PM

I have width D, which fit me perfect in terms of width.

Thanks!
I noticed the D1's are rated at 6.5 stiffness, whereas the D2's are 5.5.
I currently have an older pair of Missions (Proto VR) which are 5.5 which are still pretty stiff (after playing in them for a few months.
Are the D1's, being 6.5, going to be that much stiff?
It sounds like people suggest to go the skate bake route with them. Would this help?

Defiently get them skatebaked, they are pretty stiff unless you do.

Question: Are the D1s worth the 150 dollars more than the 2002 RMXs? Or should I just save my money and go with last years skate?

**missionhockey21** · 01-18-2003, 12:53 AM

It depends, if you need to be tight with money and the vibes do not bother you I guess go with the RMX's. I personally do not recommend vibes. The D1's are one of my favorite skates that I have used, it has a great boot that is very comfortable amd has the DNA boot technology, its a lightweight skate, and has some $100 dynasty wheels on it. Oh and if you have to get skates now or cant afford the D1's I have seen Type M's for $280 on hockeygiant, never used them but I am imagine they better than the RMX's. But you should defiently try to wait for the D1's. I hope this helps you out.
