Supreme M5 Pro

# Bauer Supreme M5 Pro Hockey Skates]


### Product Description: 


The Bauer Supreme M5 Pro Ice Hockey Skates are designed for powerful skaters who play several times a week and look to maximize their explosiveness on the ice. They feature a 3D lasted Carbon Curv composite boot that is lightweight, supportive, and thermoformable for a custom fit. The boot is stiff in the lower portion to transfer power to your strides, while the traditional facing and tendon guard allow for maximum ankle flexion and extension. The skates also come with the "Choose Your Steel" option, allowing you to select the blade that best suits your playing style.

The Bauer Supreme line has a long history of catering to skaters who prioritize power and explosiveness. The M5 Pro continues this tradition by offering elite-level technology at a more affordable price point compared to Bauer's top-of-the-line skates.


### Perfect skates for:

elite players looking for high-end performance and comfort at a lower price than the Mach


### Key features include:



* A 3D Lasted Carbon Curv Composite quarter package
* Traditional facing which assists players in flexing over their toes
* Tendon guard enableing full extension of the stride, allowing you to reach your top speed.
* Classic Pro Felt Tongue, renowned for its comfort and performance
* Asymmetrical toe cap reduces space within the boot, enhancing responsiveness when moving your foot.


### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Ribcor 78K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/ribcor-78k/l62114) and the [True TF7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf7/l164202)

The Bauer Supreme M5 Pro skates excel in power transfer and stability with their solid quarter package and Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holders. The CCM Ribcor 78K skates prioritize mobility and agility with their flexible quarter package and Ribcor Elite holder. The True TF7 skates prioritize comfort and personalization with True Hockey's custom-fit system and two-piece TrueForm composite quarter package. When choosing among these high-quality options, players should consider their playing style, foot shape, and any specific features that are important to them.


### Progression:

The Bauer Supreme M5 Pro hockey skate draws inspiration from the top-of-the-line Bauer Supreme 1X Pro. It incorporates some key design changes to fit within a more affordable price point and performance level in the Supreme line. 

The M5 Pro shares the 1X Pro's core focus on power skating with a stiff flex profile for powerful skaters. The key differences and upgrades between the M5 Pro compared to 1X Pro are: 



* **Boot Construction:** The M5 Pro utilizes a 3D Lasted Curv Composite Quarter Package, which is a refinement over the 1X Pro's Vaporposite+ composite. This results in a lighter weight or a slightly different flex profile for optimized energy transfer.
* **Holder**: The M5 Pro uses the TUuk Lightspeed Edge holder, offering similar security but lighter weight compared to the PowerFly holder used in the 1X Pro.
* **Liner:** The M5 Pro utilizes a moisture-wicking liner, an upgrade in comfort features compared to the 1X Pro.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are a great for maximizing power on the ice. The 3D lasted Carbon Curv Composite boot is stiff and supportive, providing great energy transfer with each stride. I noticed a significant improvement in my skating speed after switching to the M5 Pro.
* I've struggled to find a well-fitting skate and considered going the custom route….but the wider toe box in Fit 1 of these fit me like a glove. The stiffness is perfect for me (a middle-age player going 3X a week). 
* The best part of this skate is the tongue, which has a blend of comfort and protection and a lot of ankle padding. 

CONS:



* The stiff carbon fiber boot can take some time to break in completely. My ankles were sore during the first few weeks of use.
* These skates are designed for powerful strides and require a good amount of leg strength. Beginners might find them too stiff and demanding.
* After only 6 skates the midfoot has already compressed leaving the skate with enough room to not have a secure fit anymore.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The M5 Pro is focused on giving a lot of power. Normally, you'd hear a Supreme or Bauer Pro model going for $900+. The M5 Pro is different than that. It has all the Pro features, but for a cheaper price—more of a mid-range level price. So the M5 Pro has all the same comfort features, durability, the ability to change your steel, and the traditional supreme anatomic fit. With the new Fit System mechanisms, the M5 Pro allows you to customize whether you want it wide, narrow, etc.

### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Super Tacks AS3 Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/super-tacks-as3/pro-stock/l251934) and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/super-tacks-as3/pro-stock/l251934)

* Speed Plate Technology
* LS4 Steel
* 37.5 Liner
* An updated version of the X-Rib Curv Composite Boot, which has been aluminized. 
* TUUK Lightspeed Edge Holder.

[Vapor 2X](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-2x-pro-3/l59547)

* Significant weight reduction of approximately 6.5% lighter
* Asymmetrical toe cap for better overall fit
* 40oz Felt tongue with comfort lining 
* Hydrophobic liner with great grip to secure the foot in place
* Full composite boot


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates offer a significant jump in performance over entry-level skates. The Flex Composite boot provides a good balance of stiffness for powerful strides and some flex for maneuverability. They're perfect for skaters who want to improve their game without breaking the bank.
* The Vapor 3X fits true to size and feels comfortable right out of the box. The 40-ounce felt tongue with comfort lining offers good support and reduces pressure points. The asymmetrical toe cap also seems to help with a snug fit around the toes.
* Skate has a good amount of higher end features and has good interior support. We upgraded the foot beds to super feet since the include ones are typical unsupported foam. All in all a very good middle of the line skate for not a lot of money.

CONS:



* Skilled players who are used to top-of-the-line skates might find the Vapor 3X a bit too flexible. The flex profile is geared towards balance and maneuverability, which can sacrifice some energy transfer for powerful strides. 
* Blade holder cracked after a deflection during a game, and the material of the boot is already falling apart. Had these for about 4 months before having to buy Hyperlites because of the poor construction.
* The Vapor 3X doesn't offer any heat-molding capabilities and while the liner is comfortable…I have some wicked pressure points and am disappointed with the customization options.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The 3X was released close to the HyperLite, which was a revolutionary skate at the time, so it kinda got lost in the mix. It's still a good skate and very similar to the 3X Pro model but without as much comfort. It's a mid- to upper-level fully composite skate with a felt tongue and a hydrophobic liner with a great grip.

Supreme M4

Supreme 3S

# Bauer Supreme 3S Hockey Skates


###  Product Description:


The Bauer Supreme 3S hockey skates are designed for skilled players seeking a comfortable and powerful stride. They feature a lightweight and flexible 3D-lasted flex composite boot that provides support and stability, while the Power Profile blade helps players maintain speed and explosiveness. Additionally, the Supreme 3S comes in three different fit options to accommodate players with varying foot shapes.

Within the Bauer lineup, the Supreme 3S falls into the "performance" category, which sits between the top-of-the-line "Vapor" skates designed for elite players and the "Nexus" skates geared towards recreational players. This positioning reflects the 3S's blend of features that cater to both performance and comfort.


### Perfect skates for:

the skilled player who wants added comfort


### Key features include:



* Superior support with the 3D lasted flex composite quarter package.

### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Tacks 9090](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/tacks-9090-2/l10103) and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/l163956) 

The CCM Tacks 9090 skates offer an anatomical fit with a one-piece boot construction that enhances stability and responsiveness. They also provide custom memory foam ankle padding for added comfort and a lightweight composite outsole for optimal energy transfer. On the other hand, the True TF9 skates prioritize a customizable fit, as they are handcrafted to each player's unique foot measurements for a personalized experience. With a carbon fiber one-piece construction, the TF9 skates offer lightweight durability and excellent power transfer. Both alternatives provide players with high-quality options comparable to the Bauer Supreme 3S, allowing them to choose based on individual preferences and requirements.


### Progression:

The Bauer Supreme 3S hockey skate, released in 2020, currently doesn't have a direct predecessor within the Supreme line with a distinct model name like "1S" or "2S." Bauer sometimes introduces minor improvements to existing skate lines throughout their production cycle without necessarily introducing a new numbered model.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* The 3D-lasted flex composite boot provides a good amount of stiffness while still maintaining some flexibility for maneuverability. The skate feels very responsive.
* The fit on the Supreme 3S is a major improvement over my previous skates. The Performance Fit System with the hydrophobic microfiber liner feels super comfortable. The break-in period was reasonable, and there weren't any major pressure points.
* I had no issues with them. There was no lace bite like in my Vapors, and there was no rubbing in the toe cap. They literally feel like slippers on my feet.

CONS:



* This skate is not meant for a wide foot! After 45 minutes, I wanted to get off the ice; it took me up to 2 hours to walk normally. They put so much pressure on the outside of my feet. Super uncomfortable. 
* The Supreme 3S offers some heat-molding capabilities, but only on certain areas of the liner.
* My son is having a hard time with these skates. They are not comfortable even after 2 sessions of molding and spending an extra $40 on special inserts. 


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The 3S will give you a lot of power, more power than you would get with some of the older models. It features the Pro TPU outsole, which has additional stiffness in the lower portion of the skate, delivering more speed. It's lightweight, and the upgraded foam also adds comfort. The 3S has the stainless steal runner and the trigger release system, allowing you to quickly swap out the blade. It's a skate you could play multiple seasons with.

### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Jetspeed FT4](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft4-7/l174346) and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/l163956)

The True TF9 skates provide a customizable fit with heat moldable technology, and feature a carbon fiber-built boot for responsiveness. Both alternatives offer competitive features in terms of performance and technology, allowing players to choose based on their preferences for fit, customization options, and design.


### Progression:

The [Bauer Supreme 2S Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/supreme-2s-pro/l7798) hockey skate was released in 2018 as the successor to the Bauer Supreme 1S skate. While the overall design remained similar, the 2S Pro introduced several improvements:



* Lock-Fit Pro liner 
* Custom lacing system
* Lighter memory foam ankle pads
* Upgraded to the Tuuk LS5 carbon-coated stainless steel runner


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS: 




* These skates are amazing! The boot is super stiff and supportive, which gives me a ton of power in my strides. My skating feels much faster and more efficient.
* The Lock Fit Pro liner is incredibly comfortable and provides a great heel lock. The thermoformable features allow for a truly custom fit, which makes a huge difference for my skating. No more worrying about blisters or pressure points.
* The LS5 steel blades are a game-changer. They offer some of the best edge control I've ever experienced. Turns feel effortless and I can really dig into the ice for powerful pushes.

CONS:



* The break-in period for these skates was brutal. It took a good few weeks before they started to feel comfortable. Be prepared to put in some extra ice time if you get these.
* These skates are definitely on the expensive side. While they perform great, the price might not be realistic for everyone.
* I had a hard time finding these skates in my size. It seems like they sell out quickly and aren't always readily available. 


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The 2S Pro is a higher-end skate built for professional or competitive play. It has a lot of extra comfort and will be lighter with all the space-age technology materials. The 2S Pro has excellent power and control, so you can repeatedly explode your speed. This skate does have a quick-release mechanism to switch out your blades easily. The Supreme line has a more anatomical kind of snug fit. If you want a skate with all the bells and whistles, the 2S Pro is for you.
