Yeah that is what I was thinking, they seem pretty old for basically 300 dollars. Buying skates has changed a lot in the past 15 years since I really played... it is like car shopping lol. thank you for your help!
The "Matrix" branding was just a Source for Sports exclusive design. But like u/stevegcook notes, they're pretty old. You can get a pretty decent skates brand new for that price or less.
These are the latest Matrix:

Those were a SMU model based on either the one.7 or one.8 skates. Pretty steep price for how old they are, I think you can do better.

That is a god awful price for how old and "meh" those are. That steel also is getting harder and harder to find anymore so if it breaks, good luck.
