The Tacks Vector Premier skates are a Source Exclusive skate available for the 2022 season. In addition to the exclusive midnight colourway, the skate also includes many of CCM’s highest-end features and upgrades all at a more affordable price point. Upgrades at this level include a TotalDri Pro liner, a replaceable asymmetrical TriTech tongue, D3O foam, and a Speedblade XS Quick Release holder system Skate Fit & Stiffness ProfileThe Tacks Vector Premier skate has been designed to fit closer and much stiffer than other CCM lines. Stiff skates may be tough to break in and use at first, but they are best for skaters with big strides and won’t wear down as easily, even if you are skating most of the week. With the Powerflex tendon guard, new to the Tacks line, you can still achieve a wide range of motion despite the skate’s stiffness. The tendon guard not only adds that extra maneuverability you need, but it’s also tough and lightweight to keep that area protected. The Vector Premier skate comes in the following fits: Regular (Mid forefoot, mid heel, mid volume) Wide (Wide forefoot, wide heel, high volume) This skate is thermoformable, meaning it is moldable and responsive to heat. Baking and fitting the skates while heated will allow them to fully adapt to your foot shape. Boot ConstructionThe one-piece boot is lightweight and constructed to fit closer to your foot and with elite-level stiffness for better support on powerful strides. The NHL-grade boot construction gives the skate elite-level durability and stiffness, which is what you want in a power-focused skate. Liner & Internal PaddingSame as in the AS-V series, CCM included memory foam ankle padding, a Seamless Comfort finish, and a TotalDri Pro liner into the Vector Premier to keep the skates feeling close while eliminating as much potential discomfort as possible. The memory foam and comfort liners provide that closer, more comfortable fit you want in a stiff skate. TongueThe Vector Premier uses a replaceable asymmetrical TriTech tongue equipped with D3O Lite foam for superior protection against impact and lace bite, as well as excellent mobility. D3O is a military-grade foam material used in all of CCM’s highest-end protective equipment; its unique molecular structure makes it soft and memory foam-like when taking in low-speed impact and when pushing on it, but at high-intensity impact, it quickly solidifies and reflects that force away from the point of impact. The tongue is 7mm. InsolesThe Vector Premier has been outfitted with an ultra-lightweight midsole and molded CCM Ortholite Ultralite footbed with HeelGrip. CCM integrated recycled EVA foam in the footbed to enhance cushioning while supporting efforts in sustainability through reusing material. Both the midsole and footbed have been engineered for toughness and comfort to better support powerful strides. Steel Runner, Holder & Blade ProfileCCM constructed the Vector Premier with their Speedblade XS holder and blade lock system. This holder is ideal for keeping your blade locked in place while making it easier and more efficient to change the steel in a pinch. This skate requires you to choose your own STEP steel. The options available include: STEP Steel: STEP has always set a high standard in their blades, and that is no different here. Whether you go for a more specialized runner or the standard, you can rest assured you’re getting runners of the highest quality. GraphicsThe Source Exclusive series of 2022 Tacks skates are outfitted with a Midnight colourway specific to this series of skates. It takes a mainly black and grey colouration on the outside with some grey and green-tinted colours and accents on the inside.
