Once upon a time, the Adidas Predator was the most desirable line of football boot in the World! However, that was a very long time ago. The Predator fell out of favor so much in fact, at one point, Adidas discontinued it all together! Since bringing it back in 2018, it's been a bumpy road, but for 2024, I'd make the argument that the Predator is finally back!
In today's video we take a closer look at the new Adidas Predator 24 Elite, a pair of football boots that I think everyone should be super excited about! We discuss what makes them so special, how the compare to some of the best Predator models of all-time and why they're arguably the boots to beat in 2024!

Im getting so old that I dont play football anymore, but when I see these old scool inspired Predators I just watch and press like.

[@chanchaniceman]

It’s just awesome that adidas more or less is returning to a classic design inspired by the older preds but also even more awesome is that many of their current boots all have the U-throat standalone tongue back. Nothing against one piece uppers but the feel of these classic standalone tongue design boots is something else. As someone who have enjoyed the mid/late 2000 classic preds like the absolute and powerswerve as well as some of the early modern day preds like LZ2 and Instinct. This is definitely a good blend between the classic Preds and the modern ones.

[@hafismasnan1547]

Adidas is finishing strong this year with this new predator and copa 2+

[@iancuspinera1160]

Finally, Adidas coming back to sinthetic uppers

That sarcasm 😂

[@outrageoustechgaming9089]

very excited to try these

[@Onfeet.review]

Believe the Hype, it’s Real 🔥 love to hear that, cause I’m so hype right now 😂

[@scatman87]

Hey @Soccerreviewsforyou do you plan to do a indoor version review for these (specifically the Predator Elite IN Indoor)? If not, would you please consider doing one? All of the indoor ballers are curious what the indoor versions are like (and if the take down version is good also). Love your videos and thanks!

[@jiveturkeyintheriboflavin]

How is the dampening on the ball? I picked up a pair of Tiempo 9 Elites and I don't think I could ever go back to something without the awesome dampening that I get from the Tiempos. I realize these aren't leather, but the previous Predator Accuracy was a tank.

[@xetrov00]

Hey Jamboree, are you going to review the Under Armour Shadow Pro cleats? Several colorways have come and gone. Several people have said they are like the OG Hypervenoms, which I doubt. Maybe you could compare them.

[@georgeserrano1805]

Do play tests again especially w these Josh pls

[@peterkop3099]

In recent years i personally moved away from Adidas because in my opinion they lost their way in many aspects. But when these came out a week ago i cant wait to try them & they finally came in the mail couple day ago. Try them on & had a 3 hours friendly match with my buddies & Ohh boy What a Fantastic pair. Love the Upper so much, it's slim, light, grippy & i felt dancing freely on the pitch with full ball control at all time. The Touch on the ball is second to None, it is just a Perfect Balance between old school leather & super thin synthetic, it fits right between Nicely. Striking element does help u curve the ball slightly easier depends on ur own techniques. Studs are solid & right amount of aggression. But the Best of All is the Fit, it wraps my feet snugly, not too loose & too tight just Perfect. The heel area is Surprisingly Great, i can move my foot freely without wobbly feeling at the heel. My pair is foldover tongue & i Absolutely Love it, i frequently shoot the ball with the top part & the shots are so Clean. I guest my previous boots will be collecting dust for quite sometimes.

[@khelgarironfist3301]

How do these studs grip on natural grass compared to something like Morelia Neo, Alpha and/or Tiempo? Seems to be less studs overall especially at the front. Need them bites.

[@jonyboyblackpaisa]

The Adipower SL come to mind as the lightest but honestly they were just f50 Adizeros with even more off center lacing

[@chris425amp7]

Yes

[@iReinforcements]

These give me instinct/LZ2 SL hybrid vibes

[@andylynch9775]

I have the accuracy and I have to say, I heard these are are almost 1cm narrower on the forefoot. Personally I'd struggle with anything narrower than the accuracy unless it was k-leather and would break in a lot

[@1771soccerstar]

I'd be curious to hear people's experiences with breaking these in. I've played with them on 3 occasions now, about 2 hours each. They fit my wide foot well enough, but they don't really quite feel molded to my foot yet. For lack of a better word they feel a bit stiff/chunky for me. I got the FT version. I'd be curious to hear others' experiences

[@heckyvts]

Do you think we’ll see some takedown models with the fold over tongue?

[@mwf650]

Just a thought, the design of this new Predator would totally lend itself to a leather upper variation Seems like it would be easier to do compared to all the other preds since the “return” of the Predator

[@truescorer]

They are trying to go away from leather because of all the controversy

[@sdot5389]

@@truescorerNot only that….its continually decreasing the places you can buy leather boots due to legal restrictions

exactly, huge miss that it is synthetic

[@mwf650]

@@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw they had a few 18/19s and the edge where they chopped the toe off and switched it for leather (meh), but I feel like with these they could legitimately do a full leather upper with the way it’s constructed

There used to be adiPower Predator SL which comes in below 200g!

[@adhammp6885]

They look so cool on feet, they seem like adizeros with striking element lol

[@seanrogers5709]

These look alot like that predator xp a rugby variation of the predators and the colour way is the exact same as the adizero RS7 of 2021/22 . I know josh has reveiwed a few rugby boots here and there , would be interesting to see how the latest models compare to each other

[@AM-my3jk]

Hey Josh, how is the Achilles support?

[@ScottJoshi-jf8qr]

it seems like this guy is really obsessed with the f50 adizero

[@ichitaka05]

Lightest Predator? Not sure this counts, but Predator 18.1 Women variation was lightest Preds that you've recorded (7 ounces / 199 grams)... but keep in mind, you were wearing size 9 back then.

[@thesuperstomper4776]

Any update on the Toni kroos boots?

[@adhammp6885]

Hey Josh, how similar are the Elite TFs? They're a lot cheaper

[@gapistan2335]

The studs look very similar to the ag soleplate that adidas offers on the copa

[@jasiuk777]

what is going on with adidas, not including string bags anymore?? I just don't get it, especially with those new preds...

[@caseyallen7517]

Cool, cool, but the last version was already great. Are they ever going to fix the AG sole plate or do we just have to give up on the 3 stripe forever?

[@NikhilonYT]

Lmao exactly, I live in the UAE and as far as I know almost nobody here plays on grass pitches.

[@Macca3]

What’s wrong with it?

[@pawelp402]

@@Macca3 They are almost the same as normal FG, too bladed, which can result in contusion

[@danviv64]

They have two AG variations available for the Predator. Personally, I would take the 2G/3G AG version.

[@amirulfadhli]

The Mutator 20.1 was a little too tight. The Accuracy.1 was a little too wide. Is the Predator 30 somewhere in between?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

I think it's fair to say that

[@abhiveerharkawat8599]

[@JairoHernandez]

I am sure I am in the minority. But these are called Elite not 30. The 30 part i believe is just for the anniversary edition released first but not the name of the boot.

you have to go back and weigh them all!

How do these studs grip on natural grass compared to something like Morelia Neo and Alpha? Seems to be less studs overall especially at the front.

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

Traction is great. It's pretty much the same stud pattern adidas has had on almost all of their boots since 2010, so if you've worn an adidas boot in the last 14 years, you know what to expect.

[@khelgarironfist3301]

@@Soccerreviewsforyou none other than Copa Mundials as far as Adidas goes, but if it's a bit more aggressive than Tiempo 10 FGs, that should do it.

[@salembapui2877]

Will they make.3 as most of us couldn't afford the .1

[@Loki-sk7bi]

Wish the rubber elements are in black,

[@CR9fan1]

As excited as I am for this range of predator, the lack of integrity from adidas in terms of their pricing really irks me. Here in Australia the pricing for this model is as follows: Tongue version: $460 AUD Laceless version: $350 AUD Laced version: $340 AUD Now, Adidas have pushed the laceless models for years, always at the premium price point, the predator accuracy + model retailer for $440 while the .1 model is $320 How does a top end laceless model drop nearly $100? The tongue version being $140 more than the previous model just because of the tongue? And the standard laceless makes more sense increasing by $20. And like you said, the tongue version’s only difference to the laces model is the tongue, but is a premium of $120. It really rubs me the long way, I’m so happy that the tongue is back but the fact they throw this crazy price tag at us, knowing we’ll probably just pay it to have them pisses me off.

[@liammobbs327]

I live in NZ and same situation here. The tongue version is at the same price point as the X Crazyfast+ at $500 with the other two at 390 and 370. Laced .1 boots used to be around 320

[@jorgematurino1312]

I think that the 2011 adipower was a the last true pred

[@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw]

[@loneson1943]

[@axel7351]

really cant tell if these are orange or red as i see either depending on the platform its posted on.

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

Very orange in person

[@hnune678]

Hold up...if these hark back to the days of the old preds how is it still similar to the accuracy which a far cry from the traditional features of the the first iteration of preds???

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

The shaping and style of rubber elements make a huge difference! Similar materials used compared to the Accuracy, but overall a very different experience

[@Manecro]

They didn’t put that gripy thing for Quaresma

[@saqivmalik-pf6kr]

Josh is it worth paying the extra 75 dollars to get copa 2 plus over the copa pure .1?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

I much prefer the 2+ over the 2.1, but it is very much a choice that needs to be about personal preference. I talk a lot about the differences between them in my review of the 2.1 if you're looking for more detailed info 👍

I’m confused on the new predators it has the number 30 indicating that it is the predator 30 and a lot of content creators call it the 30 but on the adidas website they call it the predator 24 I don’t see a single difference I think it’s a branding issue

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

It’s been 30 years since the original Predator released. Initially when it launched, adidas was calling it the Predator 30, but have since changed the name and now call it Predator 24. All the same boots though 👍

[@ElPipa92]

What’s going on? No turfs from adidas anymore?

[@pawelp402]

Those are limited teaser editions (these and the Preds 30 worn by Bellingham), I think, they will introduce turfs with 1st official pack (similar to crazyfasts and pure.1s in the past). I'm actually really curious, which version will they use for Turfs.1 - LL, laces or tongue. 1st pack is suppose to have the classic black-red-white look. That would be great for turfs.1.
