ANOTHER Fake Adidas Predator Accelerator 98 Review

Reviewing these as it's the second pair I've had now due to the original pair being stolen!
Highlighting the differences (if any) between the last pair and this pair. Pretty much faultless but you'll be able to make your own mind up.
Let me know if you have any questions in the comments and thanks again for watching!

I love the boots!! The cushion on the boots make it so comfortable when you shoot the ball, unlike most new boots which is too thin and light. You have to tighten the shoelances to feel secure. I scored a freekick wearing this in an 11 a side game. Really happy!

[@kieranreynolds946]

You thought about the predator precisions? Also do you have a link to where you got yours from

[@olskoolkicks]

Not thought about the Precision to be honest. Much prefer the Manias and Accelerators over them. Don't have a link but if you got to DHGate and search 'football boots' loads come up. Read the reviews on there and check the photos people submit

[@rubensmith2608]

Hi Dean. Just came across your account now. I'm interested in buying a pair of these myself but not sure how they will hold up. Any update how these are holding up for you?

[@olskoolkicks]

Absolutely fine mate. I'm only playing an hour a week on a 4G pitch and they're absolutely fine. Got them drying in the utility now. Mega. Can't fault them

[@rubensmith2608]

Ah brilliant. Think I'll consider them

[@MASO204]

Hello mate thanks for the video, where did you buy these? I'm after the astro versions really but think these look incredible

[@olskoolkicks]

Hi! I'm sure DHGate do astro versions.

@@olskoolkicks hi Dean thanks for the reply mate, can you please link me to the same supplier you used please? Theres so many. At my own risk Thanks!

[@olskoolkicks]

@@MASO204 this is the thing mate, the suppliers of these aren't always the same ones I use for the next pair. They disband and others crop up. I just search for football boots and scout the reviews, making sure there are reviews from other buyers in the UK and pics are a bonus!

[@MASO204]

@@olskoolkicks no problem mate thanks for the advice. How are your pairs holding up? I’d buy the real ones but they are so rare and people are being ridiculous with resale price.

[@olskoolkicks]

@@MASO204 Really well. I've been playing in my Mania's and Absolutes of late but these need dusting down again.

[@Alexdvrk]

do more fake football boot reviews i love em

[@olskoolkicks]

This is really pleasing to hear! I've got another pair ready to review so bear with me

[@kentonstuart6052]

Hey how are you doing I'm thinking of buying a pair today but can't decide between manias or accelerators I was wondering which one you think Is best?

[@olskoolkicks]

Hi! It's entirely up to you but I'd say the Mania's, just! Plus, there are a new Mania Remake released recently so you might get a more up to date sole plate than my Mania's I've reviewed. Let me know what you think!

[@Kylem6875]

I bought a pair of these a month ago and they arrived in the post today in the UK (30/10/2020), if anyone has any questions feel free to reply! First impressions are incredibly positive, very well made for a fake. They fit reasonably well, on the tighter side and that's with me going half a size up from normal (UK 6.5 when I'm usually a UK 6) but other than that, well worth the money

[@chandlerlarsen3608]

Do your feet feel supported and safe in them? Like you feel like you can cut and jump and take off in them?

[@Niggleblade1986]

Sole plate, is it stiff or very flexible? Are they still alive now 😂

[@Kylem6875]

@@Niggleblade1986 Flexible-ish, I didn't have any problems in regards to movement but I'm not wearing them anymore because the right one was too small and caused my toenails to bleed underneath!

[@Kylem6875]

@@chandlerlarsen3608 Wouldn't recommend them for proper games unfortunately, I'd consider them more of a cosmetic aspect for 5-a-side on astroturf. Not sure if i could recommend for proper grass to be honest.

[@brookz2410]

Hi. Bro what are these from ? I’ve seen some online but they removed the Adidas logo from tongue lol

[@olskoolkicks]

Hi mate. Where did you get yours from? I managed to do some digging around online and Twitter seemed to bring up a couple of sites. Some in Australia but these were from China. There's a few but these and my other pair were from DHGate.

[@olskoolkicks]

@@balltic7 I've only just seen this comment! The link you've sent is the low ankle cleat so some versions of this boot have the 'sock/sleeve' element and others like the ones you've linked here. The images of missing elements of the logo are just for copyright

[@1888hynesy]

Hi Dean Did they take long to deliver?

[@olskoolkicks]

Ages. I ordered these right at the start of lockdown and they turned up mid June. The order delivery status said mid August so its only due to the on going situation that its taking a while.

[@olisaanyaegbunam2687]

Where did you get them from?

[@olskoolkicks]

Dhgate

[@owfs9877]

I went a size up, I'm usually a UK10 got a UK11 and they fit like a uk9/9.5 so sad

[@olskoolkicks]

Get back in touch with the seller and try and get an exchange. Long shot but I'd give it a go

[@dan834470]

You played in these yet mate? These from dh gate?

[@olskoolkicks]

Only just seen these responses! Yes played in them, both wet and dry and they're class. Held up and have no complaints whatsoever. DHGate for the win

[@The_Unintelligent_Speculator]

The stripes are not even the same shape! I had two original pairs and sold them far too early.

[@olskoolkicks]

Don't forget, these are 'copies' of the remakes, not the OG ones you'll have had. They were a glorious pair, always wanted a pair when I was a kid but could never afford it

[@GRMDGRM]

Son resistentes?????

[@olskoolkicks]

Muy bien.

[@sainteven9244]

many telling signs that indicate these are fake

[@olskoolkicks]

Are you able to elaborate for me? I'm genuinely interested to know the distinguishing features and subtleties (no matter how big or small)

[@sainteven9244]

​@@olskoolkicks I will do my best as it is difficult to understand the differences between real and fake if you haven't got both in hand. 1. The laces. adidas' top end boots have a more streamlined and performance-esque quality to them. Whereas these boots you can tell are super light, crimpy, and have no real structure to them. I've examined fake boots before and I noticed this first right as the video started. 2. Leather. You can tell this is a fake leather by the grain of the upper. It's clearly not real leather and has a sheen or gloss to it that is not present on the real ones. 3. Boot contours/Anatomical fit. This is a bit more difficult to describe and identify, but the boot's shape as a whole, while similar to the OG it is trying to replicate, doesn't quite match. Major one is the collar of the boot at the rear (where a heel tab should be). They are bent and a bit deformed. Not uniform in shape. Counterfeits will have abnormalities like this whereas true adidas Limited Collection items will be refined and perfected. 4. Stitching. Usually in counterfeits, the stitching will be suspect. A huge gaffe in these is at 01:05 on the underside of the tongue. You can see the red stitching does not follow the line separating the fold in the tongue. 5. Box. You could have not filmed it, but I would bet that these boots did not come with a box. Retailers of fake boots will never have a box with their product, and will usually make up some story as to why they don't have it to fool potential customers. There are more signs or points of interest I would examine to further justify that these are fake, but those points were not revealed in this video and I don't want to speculate and assume something on the boots that I cannot physically see (EX: the insoles, flexibility of the outsole, etc.)

[@olskoolkicks]

@@sainteven9244 Really good points mate. As the title says though, I know these are not genuine. I am intrigued however as to how close a pair like these can be to the proper REMAKE's of the OG's. I knew what I was getting and am a stickler for detail, hence mentioning things like stitching on my other previous video of Accelarators. Take a look and you'll see what I mean. I feel ultimately that they are very good value against the real pair at RRP.

[@sainteven9244]

@@olskoolkicks oh are you asking for the differences in performance regarding authentic vs counterfeit?

[@olskoolkicks]

@@sainteven9244 No you pretty much covered what I was asking in that thorough reply you gave 👍🏻
