Bauer Vapor Xxxx

Is Nike Bauer going to add the Vapor XXXX stick to the Nike Bauer iD program?

I was looking at yahoo hockey and was lookin at the pictures for the usa hockey team and some of the players have a Vapor XXXX but they dont look like the original and no its not a Vapor 25 or 22.

Also make sure to look and see the differences between the two before you make your answer

The 1st Vapor XXXX was seen on NHL ice in the hands of Brett Lebda back in May. The product will be a 2008 NikeBauer catalog offering, which usually means a March ship date to retail. The company may, however, release a limited quantity in time for the XMas buying season.

As for it being an ID offering, my guess is that they would hold off from making that option available for a while. NikeBauer will likely try to 1) keep Vapor XXX sales healthy by making it THE id option and maybe 2) establish the Vapor XXXX identity by keeping its original color for a stretch of time after its initial release.

Either way, I'd be surprised if a Vapor XXXX ID program were made available before this time next year or later.
