These Sidney Crosby practice used signed skates were used for a portion of the 2021/22 season. Crosby is very particular about the equipment he uses and is known very well for his superstitions. These skates were used by Crosby but after a few practices with them decided to try other models and set these aside. He is known for not wanting to change his equipment often, and that includes his skates, which is why it is extremely rare to find skates used by Crosby. A fun story to go with these skates is that there are no insoles in the boot and that is due to Sidney seeing them when we had them to get signed and took them out so he could use them in his current skates as they did not make that exact insole anymore. These skates are an amazing piece of memorabilia and can be highlighted in any collection. The skates come with a hologram and certificate from Frameworth to verify its authenticity.
