Evgeni Malkin Ditches Bauer for No-Name Skate Brand

MLX Skate Company (@mlxskates) - According to their website, the MLX Skate Company is based out of Las Vegas and founded by speed skaters. Like FUBU they claim to be FSBS “for skaters, by skaters”. The company was first brought to my attention by a hockey insider friend via Twitter (@coopgator). After digging deeper I found NHL pros such as Dustin Byfuglien, Max Talbot & Evgeni Malkin are using their skates. The skates are unbranded, with plain black and silver markings and what looks-like a carbon fiber toe. Visually they appear to be similar to an unbranded version of the Easton S7. I even read a rumor that MLX is Mario Lemieux’s skate company. (Malkin, Talbot and Fedotenko: all Penguins)
