This video doesn't seem to have those, unless the threading is white and just blends in very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckus007 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 looks like the landing area has been significantly widened, which is great cuz the first ones were way too small and the only thing that prevented me from getting the GT's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they're still going with skate lace as the stock toe option. Will probably offer the ARS toe on the side. Looks like the catcher palm is not velcro'd in, like the original GT. That's the same strap position for the glove or moved higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the more traditional of the 2 lines and Air Slide is a very progressive option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really tell, but I think it's the normal position. I've never used a GT catch so I cannot say for sure. The previous G3s and G4s with changeable liners had visible writing in that area denoting the angle being used, but nothing appears to be visible here.

I am curious to see if they've included the hyper-comp material into this blocker and pad faces. I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not exactly a detriment. yeah its not that the jenpro slides bad, but they marketed airslide for sliding so well, especially on the choppy ice, or when youre later in the game so i dont see a point of getting rid of it, although im pretty sure the airslide and profile lock are designed to be features that distinguish the GT(2) and G4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it must be with classic graphic. I can´t stand graphics like they use in Warriors and EFlex. There isn´t any flow for my liking. Some oddly straight lines which may or may not stop suddenly. When solid color outer rolls, few years back, came into fashion people were whining that blockers didnt match with the pads. Now there is always an ugly straight bar in the side of blocker face.

coopaloop1234 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 @Korppi32 there are some colour zones intentionally not filled out on the thigh and boot area. I'd wait to see what can be done via the customizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the same way... Until I spent a few hours playing with the color zones... Many people have been able to duplicate a simple graphic on the G4 stock graphic as well: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korppi32 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 True.. Brown-White and White - navy ones are nice. But "75 different color zones" doesn't impress me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't have to worry about that with the R/GT2s. I got a sneak peek at the customizer today. The Pro model has 19 different zones to customize. The Pro Classic has 26. Coopa, there are only two missing zones on the red/black pad you're seeing in the video. One is a stripe directly below the black stripe. The other is the center of the boot. The colorways will not run through the inner third of the pad, just like you're seeing in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravitas Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I've been sitting on this for a couple days. Found out today that I could share these images. Haven't ordered yet, but this is probably what I'm going to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwarnar Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Still undecided on that half cut graphic on the shin, @ZeroGravitas is there an option to extend it all the way across the face? And it’s nit picking but I think the outer roll is too busy with dual logos. Then again my tastes are minimal and simple for that “clean” look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could, but there's no way to extend it across the face. That'd make it look a lot like the RGT 1's graphic, too, which I liked quite a bit.

Then again my tastes are minimal and simple for that “clean” look Alas, the logos, both the "W" and "R/GT2 PRO", are dictated by one zone on the customizer. I, too, am a bit of a minimalist. If I could, I'd ghost the "R/GT2 PRO" logo by making it red and retaining the "W" logo as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
