I loved them as well when they first showed up as well. As a Leafs fan, Gustavsson's setup was so nice. Simple white/blue colour scheme, but I've always loved those setups with the Leafs.
That is a common wear point on this C/A. It's almost happened on mine, same model. Happened with my previous RBK P2 C/A as well. Grab a needle and thread and it should be fine, or you can patch it.
Nice ! Yeah, those are legit. I've always wanted a pair when I found out about those years ago, but the price tag is too rich for my blood as far as knee pads go.
Yep!
Jhonas Enroth still uses his Reebok branded version of the KOHO 589 Pro Swiss. Worn them since his late years in Buffalo.
The Reebok branded versions are identical to the kOHO's and feature small branded logos on the padding, and none on the carbon plate.
Can you open the glove up, leave it face down (like when smothering a puck) and then put some light weight on it? Should help prop it open and as long as it isn't sitting there long-term, you will still have that good closure that is currently has.
