Do you need THE TONGUE on the Predator 24?

I’m now on TikTok! Go follow my account @SR4UJosh for more funny football boot content like this! vm.tiktok.com/...

[@SpenRDA]

Yes, Josh. Yes I do.

[@grimmsv9199]

Absolutely not…..but definitely yes

[@ChampagneZanitey]

All im gonna say about the tounge: if you look good, you feel good, you play good

[@taliban223ms3]

Well Confidence is #1

[@dky555]

Do you need it? No Of course not. Stop buying them!!! Do I need it? Yes Yes I do Very much so Tongue or nothing!

[@treyrees9153]

Yes, yes you do. Next question.

[@simoncaton1226]

The thing that gets me is why did adidas market the tongue version so hard (and well might I add) only for them to not produce enough. I hope they have a plan for this.

[@superiorkaos]

they probably werent sure of the demand. An older design at 280 bucks when the arguably better version is cheaper. Also im sure this years pred entire lineup may be selling 1-2 times more than the accuracy

[@sargente1572]

@@superiorkaos They were perfectly aware they were going to sell out the tongue version, that's why they made it the most expensive version out of all, which imo, it's complete bullshit.

[@connorlloyd2910]

I do need the tongue for street cred on the pitch, but great video Josh keep it up

[@davidjames1646]

The fact you even ask that question I know you aren't a predator fan for the tounge is unconditional bro

[@MLNLad]

Yes. Next question

[@gethealthy7413]

You forgot the drip factor, it's worth it they look nostalgic and cool.

[@klutch...]

*I actually bought these and returned them. Didn't like the cheap plastic upper. Mind you I used to have the predator powerswerve back in the day. Bought my first pair of Mizunos instead since I wanted leather*

[@19McCloy91]

I think the ones without the tounge looks better. Ive just bought 2 pairs. The yellow ones in the video and the pink and white ones

[@Incognito-turnip]

Tongue is life

[@patrickdalton2424]

The tongue is just so much cooler

[@khelgarironfist3301]

The strap is annoying tho

[@valren01]

I would buy the tongue Predator just for the sake of nostalgia 😂

[@KeeperCharlie]

I am still upset they are not releasing AG models for these preds and no tongue option for any of them.

[@erdoez3426]

I wear fgs on artificial grass too and it didn’t make me get any injuries, blisters or even damage the boot

[@sargente1572]

@@erdoez3426 this sole is sold as "FxG; Flexible Ground", as it's pretty much rounded and isn't bladed I guess it's not that agressive so it's ok to wear them for artificial grass.

[@erdoez3426]

@@sargente1572 I’m not much of an aggressive outsole guy so I get any outsole I want

[@keithhansard8221]

​@@sargente1572 the studs are really long which will coz issues on AG

[@iTzChRoNiiC]

What even is this question the answer is yes

[@liamlezama-johnson6639]

Josh I neeeeeed it

[@houdiniface8687]

Went to an official adidas shop and got the elites on sale, meanwhile the one with the tongue wasn’t even in stock😢

[@brianestrada123]

If ima be honest, tiempos felt better from dat one but having the tongue strap for these just meant you were a different breed . Took a while to break in but the drip was there from day 1

[@ronjose51]

The fold over tongue can be worst and I’ll still get it.

[@MatthewDaFontenot]

Yes

[@AlfredWong-fp7bw]

No tongue, no party

[@VoidReject999]

Ive got them without the tongue and it feels comfortable for me

[@wan.g]

Realistically if u can get a retail price of a foldover tongue version, it is really worth it 😂

[@K_Pop_Bob]

Off course,no tongue no predator

[@seber05]

I bought the elite model because the FT one was sold out everywhere but I got it in the launch colorway because the sole plate on the launch colorway is the same as on the FT variation of that colorway, gives it that premier look

[@seriomarkj]

Lot of words for...yes! I want the fold over tongue

[@yarkle8483]

One word: Aura

[@macervarren12thcompanyworl71]

Boots doesn't need tongue.... Because boots can't speak :D

[@tinapitts6222]

If you good at what you do..just gets some shoes😂😂😂😂

[@Luaone]

I would pick the non tongue if there was leather option and if the boots fit a bit wider.

[@Isyoboyjon]

Paid 40 more so it’s not that terrible lmao I agree , should’ve made more and honestly should’ve been the standard for just the laced one.

[@mattkeating1532]

Depends if you want half your sock hanging out on your foot in game?

[@pmanssur]

HELL YES

[@mursyidhassan3373]

Is the sizing for the ft model exactly the same as the elite version? Or isit a tiny bit wider?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

Sizing is the same across all the top-end Pred models

[@majido]

The tongue is better option for wide feet (like myself) easy to wear and better fit

[@i_asemoon]

Of course the F.T. Josh!!!

[@LGARner9]

For all the tongue love, I don’t think I’ve seen a single professional wear them. That should tell you something.

[@sargente1572]

lol I've seen quite some

[@FantasistaRossonero]

Definitely yes

[@Sin336867]

Looks yes, performance NO.

[@DJMax85]

no tongue for me

[@LemtheBeast]

Them fold over tongue preds used to be made with better materials for about half the price in the early to mid 2000’s. No chance am I paying £280 for that synthetic crap.

[@chanchaniceman]

Yes/no It’s cool to have the tongue but if you can’t get the predator you can go for copa gloro

[@sologoatt1024]

It’s just aesthetic 😢

[@sammyrussell8249]

Depends when you were born!

[@xavierduran9205]

And I like the laceless 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@arcwellhernandez9127]

Yes let’s move on

[@raheempeter_7]

Tbh these boots don’t look good on everyone with the flap. The laced version is ugly. I like the lacked version I dunno maybe it’s just me.

[@cosminanghel9875]

No

[@theonlysktz]

Bellingham future ballon dior winnner siuuu

[@قرفص]

the tongue looks awful

[@gonzalezeduardo28]

Dammit, not even futbol boots are safe from resellers, come on.

[@MrVeloc1]

I'm glad I'm the one of the few that says no, it looks so bad and is only there to reference the past of predator.

[@Deehydrate]

😂😂

[@tacosandtitties]

No, but i really like the black ones better.

[@Nellyo0o]

I have the elite no tongue and having used Mania through college (3 pairs in 4yrs due to high usage). I can honestly say these are the Best. Preds. Ever.

[@sklevel7814]

was trying to get the roteiros when they dropped waited till 3am hit refresh and every single size was gone never doing that again

[@ibelrafie]

Do you need it? No its unnecessary looks cool but it doesn’t change the performance

[@jonesydellapietra]

Am I the only one who thinks the tongue looks ugly af? I get it’s a nostalgia thing but it just hurts my eyes looking at that

[@chava7263]

No. It's pointless besides looks

[@BennyBlanco1877]

Well some people do like bulky..

[@RhondaMartin-zb8nx]

👅 tongue for those with taste.

[@Userteddysong]

Look good play good🤷🏻‍♂️

[@hughjarce9915]

Yes

[@Ricksterthetrickster]

as someone who’s owned and used both Ft and non ft i find the tongue and the strap get in the way of the strike skin elements and it’s very annoying

[@Gaming.Labs_GL]

Good marketing by Three Stripes brand.

[@zenunogoncalv]

As Prime would say - Look good, feel good, play good.

[@leekellehern7]

haven’t got a choice when you play on ag 🥲
