Intro & New Features

Transitioning from the S-series to the M-series of skates, Bauer’s Supreme line debuts the M5 Pro skates as a new high-performance skate for 2022, second only to the Mach. Similar to the Mach, the M5 Pro rolls out many new and effective technologies to get you to the next level, including AMP Flex Facing technology, a 3D Lasted Carbon CURV quarter package, Aerofoam ankle padding, a LockFit liner, and a Choose Your Own Steel initiative.

Skate Fit Profile

The M5 Pro Junior skates come in standard D and EE-size skates. D is a good size for regular-sized feet; wider feet may fit better in EE skates. The skates are also thermoformable, so you can bake the skates to fit closer to size.

Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile

A key component of the Supreme line is the load and transfer systems, and the M5 Pro’s build is designed to increase the player's ability to get the most out of their stride. Bauer integrated 3D Lasted Carbon CURV Composite in the construction, which makes the skate both lightweight and thermoformable. The Thermoformable Anaform Upper adds to the moldable properties of the boot.

Liner & Internal Padding

The liner is made of sublimated hydrophobic microfibre to keep your feet cool, dry, and fresh for longer on the ice. The skates use Aerofoam Technology in the ankle padding, which is designed a bit thicker than conventional foam for more comfort, and it is also more form-fitting and thermoformable.

Asymmetrical Toe Cap

For a better overall fit and to negate any unused space within the boot, Bauer turned to using an asymmetrical toe cap, a concept that has been observed in previous high-end Bauer skates. This isn’t necessarily new technology, but Bauer went ahead with the Supreme M5 Pro skates and enhanced the toe further for an even better fit.

Tendon Guard

Bauer’s original Flex tendon guard has been refined in the new Reflex tendon for 2022. This tendon does not use inserts, and its aggressive shape and flex notches add spring to your stride while keeping it tough enough to recoil back quickly, ready to strike again.

This feature was originally only available in the Senior Ultrasonic and 3S Pro variations, but now in 2022, the Reflex guard is also a feature of the Junior M5 Pro skate.

Tongue

The M5 Pro skates are equipped with a Reflex Classic Pro felt tongue for a comfortable, more traditional feel that will also provide the premium protection needed against slashes, shots, and lace bite. The felt is thick and high-quality while also being optimized for greater malleability and range of motion.

Insoles

The Supreme M5 Pro skates use a Lock-Fit footbed, completing the lining. Lock-Fit is designed to, as the name suggests, lock your foot in place and make it easier for you to push off and keep control of your skating.

Steel Runner, Holder & Blade Profile

To hold the blade in place, the Supreme M5 Pro skate uses Tuuk Lightspeed Edge, which is the same as it was in the previous Supreme Ultrasonic skates. The runners provided on the skates are Bauer’s LS Pulse SS runners, high-end steel designed for optimal glide and durability when on the ice for longer or more often in the week.

Lacing System

Following a similar theme to the Supreme protective lines, the M5 Pro Junior skates also implement AMP, or Active Motion Performance flex into the skate. AMP Flex Facing is an area in between the second and third eyelets with increased forward flex for a better range of motion. This innovation was introduced to help skaters tie their skates to the top eyelet while retaining optimal flex in their ankles.

Graphics

Keeping to the classic theme of the Supreme line, the M5 Pro is mainly coloured black with yellow, cybernetic graphics and accents. “M5 Pro” and the new Bauer logo are also on display above the ankles and heel.
