The Bauer Supreme Shadow skates represent the evolution of the legendary Supreme line, delivering unmatched power, support, and elite-level performance trusted by NHL power forwards and defensemen worldwide.

The Bauer Supreme Shadow is built for players who play a power game. Whether you're battling in the corners, delivering hits, or powering through defenders at Gillingham Ice Bowl, these elite Supreme Shadow skates provide the stability and energy transfer that power players need. This is the skate for players who refuse to be moved.

  • Asymmetrical Toe Cap - Enhanced protection for physical play without sacrificing feel
  • Strategic Reinforcement Zones - Extra support in high-stress areas for durability during physical gameplay
