they're just the glossy finish. like you said doesn't impact the quality of the boot. I believe the tag on the boot warned that the colourful finish would peel away
Hey man. Just bought these recently in the non FT regular laced versions. Played so far just 1 game on our natural grass pitch (mostly dirt, tough ground here in Australia). They were awesome! Scored a cracking goal in the game. Appreciate your insights because I will be going into a summer 6-a-side football comp which is on 4G Artificial Grass. I think the FG boots I have should be fine on that, & I appreciate you mentioned you have a pair which are fine and you’ve played on 4G pitches with no issues
@gabr131s9 Hey dude that's awesome to hear. Glad my review helped out. Sounds like you've slipped straight into the new preds with ease. Let's hope more goals are coming in the tournament. I've worn my non FT version loads over the summer, the ground is hard as he'll in the UK right now. But they've stood up well, even had a ref say to me in one game "hey mate nice boots" 🤣
Thanks for this video, really appreciate it. I've just got a pair of Y-3 Predator in a size US 8.5, I wear US 8 with Nike and Mizuno. Do you think it is manageable as I have somewhat wide feet. Also I only play on 4G artificial pitches but really want the FT version. Is comfort or drag an issue while playing on 4G with FG stud pattern?
Hi, thank you for your comment and watching the video. Ok first things first, I can't believe you are going to play in the Y3's such a hard boot to get. 😆 But in all seriousness, I wouldn't say width is a problem at all. But let the boot break in for sure, doesn't take long. I'm a UK 8.5 in mizuno so sounds like you have the right sizing. I'm using my laceless FG on 4G pitches and have had no issues with comfort or dragging. Of course, every ones feet are different. So what works for me may not work for you. Of course if anything happens to the boot playing on 4G will invalidate any claim with Adidas. So just be mindful of that. Other than that enjoy the boot, I have another pair on order in the electricity colour and I'm hoping to get the blue/silver ones also.
Adidas had the "best" soleplate for a couple years starting in 2010 and since then refused to alter, let alone improve it in any meaningful way.. with the exception of the carbon shank in the Xghosted plate that got removed because it was too good apparently.
@@Krissfootykicks making their own means buying machines and molds and materials for the + and .1 variant both not being sold that many of if compared to the takedown models with which they make a larger profit from both in total and per pair. The fact that they stopped working together implies that adidas was too stingy or Carbitex too greedy (or both) so getting some other manufacturer likely wasn't worth it for adidas
@@Krissfootykicksis there a glossy finish on the limited edition green preds laceless? And do you think they will snap if I wear them on ag or 3G pitches?
@user-se5vm3hf1n I haven't seen the green version soleplate. So I really can't say on those. I've worn my laceless versions on 4G and had no issues. They do sell a version for 4G but I'm led to belive they weigh quite a bit more as to make them more durable. I guess you take a chance if you play on 4G like myself. 👍
