The Daoust 301 Classic Skate throws hockey's unwritten rulebook out the window with a bold, camo and white boot that's built to stand out in a category that's traditionally anything but expressive.

Power
A Power-Focused Playing Style suits players who thrive on generating strong, top-end speed through forceful and longer strides. They come with a stiffer boot that efficiently transfers energy into the ice for maximum power with every stride.
-
Acceleration
An Acceleration-Focused Playing Style is ideal for players who rely on quick bursts of speed and agile movements to dominate the game. These offer a moderately stiff boot that balances support with mobility. You can swiftly change direction, make sudden moves, and accelerate rapidly with these skates.

Level of Play Definitions
If multiple categories are selected, it indicates the skate is suitable for multiple levels of play.
-
Recreational-Level
Recreational ice hockey skates are built for the new-to-hockey player or casual skaters that are looking for an affordable option. These are great starter skates, especially for youth players.
-
Performance-Level
Performance-level ice hockey skates are a great fit for players who are confident in their skating stride and are ready to take their on-ice performance to the next level. These players are on the ice 1-2 times a week playing mid-to-high level hockey.
-
Elite-Level
Elite-level ice hockey skates are built for the best performance, protection, durability, and comfort. These players are usually on the ice three times or more a week and are playing high-level hockey.
Under the flash, the Classic is built on the same stiffer 40/60 composite boot as the standard 301 OG, converting effort into powerful strides while keeping the legendary Daoust step-in comfort alive. It's supportive, responsive, and confidence-boosting, whether you're pushing the pace or just enjoying being back on the ice.
Inside, heat-moldable VE Poly foam and the signature checkered moisture-managing microfiber liner lock the foot in comfortably from the opening faceoff to the final buzzer. An upgraded 7mm pro felt tongue with an integrated lace-bite guard keeps the top of the foot protected while still allowing full forward flex for the optimal stride.
Rounding it out is the Perfecta Kwik-1 quick-release holder system, making steel swaps fast and easy with SLM Carve steel when you need it most.
If you love the performance but prefer a more classic look, check out the Daoust 301 OG with its traditional black boot.
