Intro & New Features

CCM has released the FT880 skate for the competitive level player. Notable features for this Jetspeed skate include a One-Piece boot, TotalDri Pro liner, 7mm felt tongue, Molded Ortholite insole, and the Speedblade XS holder with XS1 Steel.

 

Skate Fit Profile

The FT880 skate puts focus on player comfort with ADPT Memory Foam and Seamless Comfort to cradle the foot and create a secure connection. The foams have been made with a denser configuration to create a more snug fit. Both regular and wide fits have been made available for purchase, with half sizes increments starting at 7 and going up to 11.5.

 

Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile

The boot is constructed with a stiffness rating of 160, a bump up from previous years. A stiffer skate can be harder to break in at first, but is more durable in the long run.

 

Liner & Internal Padding

A TotalDri Pro liner is found in the FT880 skate, which works to wick moisture away and keep feet comfortable and dry during play.

 

Lacing System

The skate continues to use the tried and true standard eyelet and lace system.

 

Tongue

The tongue in the FT880 skate has been optimized for lace-bite prevention and player comfort with a 7mm felt tongue. A dual-layer construction is used, with injected protection to enhance overall feel.

 

Steel/Runner/Profile/Blade Holder

CCM has equipped the FT880 skate with the Step XS1 runner. This steel adds 4mm in height over a standard runner to increase longevity, while the stainless steel construction contributes to longer-lasting edges for overall performance.

The Speedblade XS Holder comes stock in the FT880 skate. This quick-release holder and metal pin blade lock system have been designed for ease of use for replacing steel when needed.

 

Insoles

A molded CCM Ortholite insole is included with the FT880 to provide ultra-lightweight comfort during use.

 

Graphics

The FT880 skate closely resembles the elite level graphics seen in the release of the new Jetspeed line, with red and black colouring seen throughout the skate. A fluid design finds its place on the skate with red meeting black and grey on the quarter package, and a dark silver CCM logo on the side and heel of the skate.
