I think that the spikes look cooler, but the fins might work better.

[@aaronr.5962]

Facts

[@giovannirodriguez7803]

The fins might have more grip than the spikes but the spikes look better

[@FutureHNDRXX]

@@giovannirodriguez7803 exactly what he said

[@oooooo8698]

No

[@AARON-wj2ld]

No doubts about it that fins are better

[@cnava7809]

I literally have just received the edge and took them out for a quick sesh and these are my thoughts . I have currently been wearing the numbers up version of the freak+ and at first the midfoot was incredibly tight. So I tried stretching with a wine bottle . I know it sounds weird but it really worked left it for about two days and boom ! The uppers on the edge feel really plasticy , but the panels it has really does give a very distinct feel on the ball . Both shoes are wide up front so no problem there . Since I do have wide feet .The edge does have a really stiff upper compared to the freak + but again it’s about the sensation, and really maybe the play style. Yes boots don’t matter really what position you play and won’t make you better but trying on the boots you would you know what I mean .the freak feels a lot more connected to the foot and ball while the edge does not .the edge also is really tight on the little pointy bone on top of my foot and caused slight discomfort and had to take them off a bit early :( while the freak has the prime knit there on my foot so it’s very comfy now. the edge is a fantastic boot but for me the EDGE is going the FREAK+ . Love the feel and sensation of the ball on the freaks more than edge. The edge isn’t a bad boot but I know it will require more break in time than the freaks.

[@User32187]

I just ordered the laces version of freak, I have wide feet so kinda worried they’ll not fit

[@Alif-kl4jg]

how long did it take to break in?

[@VINUVSUNNY]

I have wide feet. Should I try Freak? Saw your comment on narrow midfoot.

[@User32187]

@@VINUVSUNNY well funny enough, the day after i got an email saying them at my order had been cancelled and got my money back, i ended up getting nike mercurial vapor 14 elite and they fit very well

Personally I think the spikes look cooler

[@Modric2.0]

But cool is not good

[@victoriasmithcollins3499]

@@Modric2.0 there both good boots tho but I agree the spikes look cooler

[@Aviqu]

​@@victoriasmithcollins3499 ive tested every major adidas boot from freak to speedportal, if i have to put them in order it would be this: F50 Adizero IV Leather Remake Speedflow Speedportal Ghosted Freak Edge i mostly tested the + versions, but coming to the Predator Edge i just don't like 'thick' plasticy material and that clunky layout in general. It also was impossible to get my feet inside those. Predator Freak on the other hand felt better and i like the spikes a lot more because you keep more feel on the ball but coming to comfort i have to mention that my heels just felt really uncomfortable. Ghosted was ok but nothing special. If you like thin plastic boots and prefer to have the best feel on the ball i hardly recommend chosing the speedflow, if you want the most comfort and a leather feel F50 Adizer IV every day - They are just great because they are a hybrid beetween the X having a carbon inlay and a leather boot which gives you a considerable amount of protection on your feet but still a pronounced touch, because its still very soft and flexibel material not like Kaiser 5 ones for example.

[@3triplets472]

Agreed

[@LEOMESSI-qg2et]

Your right you need a boot that help you with ball control and even responsibility

[@cornellkids]

I love Unisports vids they help me so much

[@nparky1989]

I have the Freak+. They are by far the best boots I've ever worn. The control and power is insane. The only downside is that they're a bit too grippy in dry weather if you like dribbling. I will get the Edges to compare, but think I'll wait for a better color because both the blue and black are less than impressive.

[@vaky_je_borec6396]

i had them 1 year ago and yesterday i bought them again they are the best boots

[@VIPTA_ALKEMISTS]

I agree I also have them

[@luciatebaldini3554]

i have got a question for you:the spikes breaks after a year?

[@garrick..]

For me using the boot now for a short period I’ve already decided. When I had the FREAK my foot fell to tight and cramped in mid foot and towards my toes causing me to get blisters on my toes and on my heal and although it’s minor it affects you, where as when I had the EDGE my foot felt more free and less cramped whilst still being tight and fortunately didn’t give me blisters anywhere on my feet which is great. Coming to grip the freak feel less grippy in a nice way, what I mean by that is it had a lot of grip but wasn’t over done which was a nice feeling on the ball, it also felt very accurate when doing in the air tricks and close ball work which is nice. The EDGE felt more grippy and a bit over done but also feels nice on the ball when doing close to feet ball work, you can still do in the air tricks but doesn’t feel as nice as the FREAK. The Freak stuck the ball weakly for me and didn’t seem to get the precise power then what a forward or a long range shooter may want which can be big deal for some or mild for others. The EDGE struck the ball with lots of power and was really nice to feel which is big for all types of players. So overall I lean towards the EDGE but some will feel different about that.

[@xImBounty]

0:56 love that hitmarker

[@jr_sply9559]

I was literally thinking about both of the boots but I will for sure go for the freaks thanks for the vid 🦾

[@Whassuup19]

I think the freak looks way cooler! And would suit my playing style better

[@MikeNemits]

Ty for the review, the freaks are sick 🤘🏼

[@AndreasNV]

I've never understood why Predators have so much grippy stuff close to the sole of the shoe, because you normally hit the ball closer to the upper part of the shoe. The new Predator doesn't have anything on the upper part and that's why I prefer the Freak. It obviously also looks much cooler, and it's more flexible.

[@r3ub3_n]

@SideAFTVClips i mean it depends on ur preference and technique

[@AndreasNV]

@SideAFTVClipsdude you don't need the rubber bits for short passes😄I'm talking about shots and long passes

[@MikeNemits]

Having the grip all over also helps when receiving the ball since it covers more surface area. You’re gonna get bad touches from time to time, especially when it’s in the air

[@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw]

@@AndreasNV only power shots are taken with the top of the foot. Regardless, modern Preds are garbage, I will stick with my Powerswerve or hope to get some more of the remakes for under retail

[@sule.A]

@@AndreasNV are all your shots volleys??

[@BestAudiovisualTricks]

I don't trust buying the Edge+ because I bought a pair of the 2012 version and those fins peeled off and some fell off after 10 or so games. I look forward to the next generation Copas (the ones that Arthur was spotted using in a training session) because they look amazing. For now, I will stick with my trusted X Ghosted.

[@VOID-qy5cw]

That’s why you should buy the ones without fins

[@briantholemasango9430]

Hi, this video really helped me once again. 🙂 When does your winter sale end?

[@Smoky21]

love these vids

[@huh7449]

I always wear 2 sizes larger for football boots because I am a wide foot and the only ones available were the edge 3 and they are incredible

[@daudsalman9046]

id say that the freaks are more of a midfielder boot, whereas the edge is more of a winger/forward boot

[@mrlw6238]

Can’t wait for the edge to get slammed in the months to come on the boot nerds podcast. Jays gotta be nice when talking about a big new product

[@Hakkuofficeal]

First view🔥Love and watch from Nepal🇳🇵💖

[@david2010oltean]

I prefere the Freak cause they look more agressif

[@penguinz1733]

Can you please do a vid like this but with the goalie gloves instead of the cleats. Also which cleat here is better for keepers? Like goal kicks wise

[@brokenlegend1179]

In my opinion I love the freak better than the edge

[@romerojonathan07]

Got the xman freaks and it’s pretty cool I’m use to superflys and hypervenoms when there were around but when it rains I have more grip with the freaks

[@wolfaja755]

If you’re someone who has never bought a top end boot the edge feels pretty good. I have the edge and it feels so much more attached to me compared to other boots I’ve owned and the rubber elements really help with getting some swerve on the ball. Honestly I like the edge a lot and feel like people put it down because they’re so used to super high end boots. Comparatively the edge isn’t as comfortable as other top end boots but it has actual functional tech in the form of the striking elements which will make a noticeable difference with the ball. The freak provided a good ball feel why the edge provides good power, swerve and some increase grip on the ball. As someone who’s playing style focused on passing and shots rather than tricks I find the edge as a better deal but if I focused on 1v1’s a little more I could see this being closer.

[@marvelousudochukwu1700]

Yo guys love the channel

[@karlssontaket9648]

I’d still go with the Freak

[@ilhamhabibie215]

would the edge be the first preds without the external heel counter?

[@bakuzetsu_k4996]

Edge is not so "Predator" vibe visually. Weird launch colorway. The Fins might be too big in my opinion and a bit sloppy on the execution. For me, if the Demonskin spikes is more durable and does not wear/come off, Freak is much better...its a weird fitting boot but yeh, I like it more.

[@marcymarc2795]

@unisport Jay, did you have cracking on the soleplate of the edge from when you showed how stiff it is? Mine cracked from doing similar movements

[@izzetustan7361]

Find are way better, I just got the new ones and they are incredibly good!

[@aliyuabubakar9096]

U guys r amazing

[@melgreen7995]

Would love a comparison of youth/kid football boots? They seem to be slightly different in subtle ways. What boot overall would you choose for elite junior's?

[@A.K3196]

That would be really great!

[@Midnight._.06]

you should do X-speedflow vs predators vs edge to see which is better

[@Cjs94]

I think right now I’m just not a fan of the shape of them… but I didn’t like the freak at first and got used to the look of them! So we’ll see but right now I’d rather stick with the freak personally

[@josephcaldwell5001]

I have been wearing the adidas X ghosted.1 and I have been getting really sore heals from them. I’m thinking on getting the predator freak +, are they comfortable?

[@rhettrudder2378]

Does the predator element on the edge come off as easily compared to the mutator and freak?

[@Sergio_divyansh_._]

That boots collection 😫

[@serbiamaffia]

I like the Freak .1 I found better to curve the ball and better control and the sole plate and studs I find much better for fast sprinting and turning.

[@7ZurdoOfficial]

What type of cleats would you recommend for playing on turf and grass? Thanks

[@elonelvis4531]

From what youve explained i think midfielders should go for the freaks...and strikers should go for edge

[@Junior-js6zn]

Predators are the good ones for me the predators are looking very good ones give you a lot of grip I don't know why but it just feels very comfortable and you know how it feels better comfortable

[@alejandrob2048]

[@srisai1779]

bro unisport i bout the nike phantom gt2 acedemy but its been 3 weeks and it hasnt come yet it said it will come at 5-7 days ???

[@marklangridge1632]

So from experience of every preditor made as I am now 40 it is a massive change back towards the OG. Freak was a great idea but if you play on 4g pitches the spikes came off after a few games from the friction of tackles. Spikes vs stripes Spikes gives you more grip on the ball to the point of over correction. The strips should give you a better connection but over a smaller space. Enabling more wip on the ball

[@filipsoldo6891]

Adidas predator freak and x ghosted is my favourite

[@clumsyninja50]

Does it make sense to say that Predator Mutator is in between the two boots, since Mutator spikes are more in number, and closely spaced to each other more than Freak. Making it a bit more like the combination of both?

[@CognizantCheddar]

You are absolutely right. The closeness of the nubs on the Mutators makes for a better power striking surface than the Freak's much more spread out nubs. While the Edge's close-set fins take what the Mutator's close nubs do and turns it up another notch, at the expense of close ball feel. It makes tons of sense to think of the Mutators as a middle ground between the dribbling-oriented Freaks and the power-oriented Edges. Personally, I think the Mutators are the best Predator of the three. Ironic that it came out before the other two.

[@clumsyninja50]

@@CognizantCheddar totally agree with you! The only cons for me (personally experience) is the middle part of mutator is too narrow and took some times to get used to it. Other than that, it is one of the best football boots I have ever had
