@danielkanani4878 2 года назад

I like how you always weigh the boots in oz and grams but for people who dont know a lot about boots, that information is sort of in a vacuum. What if you had a simple line-graph graphic that shows a spectrum. on one end the puma ultra and on the other you could put the OG mundials or something. and then just plot the current model and the outgoing model on the graph. you could maybe even throw up the values of the main rivals for that respective boot

@4lifefc 2 года назад

It’s a real shame what the predator line has become… im older now and grew up wearing the Mania, Pulse, Absolute, Powerswerve, and lastly the X (I still wear the X, Powerswerve and sometimes an absolute believe it or not). I figured i would maybe become young and hip, and give these a try. I went to my local store and honestly i put them on and threw up in my mouth. Now im really going to sound like an old man but kids these days don’t really know how good the Predator once was. Then adidas slaps us in the face with remakes and they are wildly expensive and almost next to impossible to get. I would gladly pay full retail for some of these remakes but they sell out instantly. It’s a sad time to be 31 years old and wanting to relive the good predator days when I play in my adult league. Thanks for the reviews though josh.

lol I hear you, predators once upon a time were unmatched, and for me nike have overtaken adidas in the boot department for some time now. I do however like the the feel of synthetic materials when making contact with the ball, more so than leather. I do own a pair of predator freaks as-well as predator 19's also, which i do enjoy playing in however they definitely don't have that wow factor i used to feel when wearing original predators. As it stands, my phantom venoms and vapor 14's are the best boots (particularly the venoms) and i feel adidas are way off the mark at the min in terms of competing with nike.

Love how In depth and informative this video was! SUUUUUUPER helpful at first I was thinking of ordering a pair I agree, aesthetically they look soooo good which is why I wanted a pair but I’ll definitely wait to try them on in store.

@danielsan81 2 года назад

I respectfully disagree with this review. On my feet these boots are amazing. Great lockdown, very comfortable - 2 training sessions in. I’ve always worn size 13 mercurials or tiempos and had them feel slightly big. but in these I could go a size down to 12 and have a perfect fit because of the wide toe box. I think it’s wrong to discredit a pair of boots like this based off a few internet reviewers and Paul pogbas bad experiences. Try them yourself before you rule them out. These are great predators.

@_alerroo 2 года назад

Fully agree with your opinion, tried them on in store and the fit was exceptional! The upper didn’t feel as hard as some boot reviewer’s had described it to be in my opinion. Overall, trying them on in person gave me a different perspective on them, and I enjoyed the fit more than the X speedflow.1.

Good fit in heel and toe box comfortable top part with primeknit studs super good for rolling the ball and spikes really add extra texture for control such as for the inside foot not as much for the top part as for passing for your inside foot feels really really good same with pings , with shooting not too much different , but also outside swerve passes feel way more smooth idk how ti explain that but it does it’s kinda crazy
