CHEAP vs EXPENSIVE adidas Predator 24 explained

[@markgonzalez8828]

I’m 31 now. As a teenager I always had the cheaper options. 50-70 dollars back then maybe. As I got older I been able to buy 4 elite version of cleats. The texture is better. Better quality. But when you play I honestly don’t feel the difference. Maybe compare to a 30 dollar boot. But other than that I’ve never felt special wearing an expensive boot. Maybe it’s just me

[@romareybrown9804]

They messed up, the pros should’ve come with a traditional tongue rather than a cheap knitted alternative

[@HiRO-gl4we]

I got the pro version and it feels very good on my feet, but I would have preferred the tongue

[@alexanderrodriguezcasco1131]

They change the shape on the pro 🤮. Even the .3 looks better. I will go for élite or .3

[@JustPunn]

Completely agree but at least we dont have to pay for the elite to have the strike skin like the phantom

[@jaydenschwendiman879]

I’m not going to lie with you there so comfortable though

[@AliRabhe]

It would increase the price to about 160

[@andrewpalmer1873]

Just glad they brought back a proper ag outsole, last gen was too aggressive

[@unisport]

Agree, but 2G/3G is HEAVY 😅 /Jay

[@Yellow-fellow14]

how did they even make it that heavy@@unisport

[@GSicKz]

so true, this 2G/3G is a great solution! so they finally caught up with Puma who already offered the MG soleplate, which is great! I wonder if Nike is going to follow as well, because their AG studs are way too long for the AG pitches that I play on ... at least I can now choose between Puma and Adidas when buying boots

[@fuhuixiao]

​@@unisport 2G 3G version was firstly lunched for Chinese market version. In China there is hardly any FG field or high quality AG field. Chinese amatual players usually select TF boots on very hard AG pitches and MG boots on slightly softer AG pitches to protect their knees. They shared their demands to ADIDAS NIKE and PUMA however ther was no proper solutions before. Then several Chinese local sneaker maker, Lining ,Karme designed very good TF and MG sole plates and getting more and more popular. ADIDAS then provided 2g 3g sole plate which successful balanced the performance and knee protection. It is a sole plate for amatual players so protective is much more important than performance, so it is heavier as other TF boots do. PUMA did provide MG sole plate but their AG is still too aggressive and TF ultimate version is not quite ultimate. NIKE doesnt provide an elite equivelent version on TF sole plate.

[@sithlordinosuke8462]

Ive always loved adidas, from their pants to track jackets and now ive gained a random super interest in their new predators.The only pair i know is a size 8 from my dad when he played soccer with me when i was doing a youth league.

[@Natale_Luca_98]

Can we PLEASE PLEASE see a review of the Elite TF & IC versions Jay

[@ryanpiyo98]

No foldover tongue on takedown models? Sorry adidas, you don't know what your customers want. Reintroduce new predator with nostalgic foldover tongue but then only reserve it for the highest tier boot. Of course.

[@robtapster6062]

It's almost like they are trying to make more money.

[@anonymous_1217]

​​@@robtapster6062 Bro that's the strategy, to make people buy the elites in order to get the tongue

[@arsOsongs]

Great video, as always. Could you please do a review on the turf version as well? I feel that this category is constantly being neglected and the prices of the shoes are only going higher. At least we should know what we are buying into. Thanks!

[@jonathanb1406]

I like that they've brought back a classic black and red colourway, although I don't like the addition of the yellow 😅

[@Sskreechy]

It’s orange 🍊 but yes yellow is a no go

[@jonathanb1406]

@@Sskreechy It's red. They look red in pretty much every picture of them, including Unisport's, and Adidas' own site, and the description of the boots colour is "Core Black / Cloud White / Solar Red".

Imagine if only the pros came with a fold over tongue? Other football boot brands would've been out of business by now.

[@EarlSquirrelsonn]

Can’t wait to see what colourway they come up with for the Euros.

[@nabilmohdeb5647]

another great review Jay, never disappointed, thanks man

[@talev7845]

YES YES YES to the 2G/3G option. I really hope adidas don't abandon it and try to continue improving it and perfect it. Hopefully they bring it to their other models.

[@nho415]

Ack! I have flat, wide feet but damn I want the option of a tongue... Nike and Addidas need to start offering wide options.

[@yovanilla]

I think it's interesting that often with adidas the third tier option is suggested over the second tier. This is not the first time I've heard that; not with this lineup necessarily but with other adidas lineups.

[@ryanpiyo98]

Somehow the fit on the second tier boot is always the worst, especially if you have narrow feet or the heel is always loose or shallow.

[@harizbadrulhisham3805]

What i dont get is that, the AG version on Predator 18 was already good, very suitable on AG, why not continue using that soleplate for AG. And if they really want to use MG, why not use the soleplate on the Ace 15, that soleplate was like the perfect FG/AG soleplate. They already have a good technology, why not continue using them, instead trying to reinvent the wheel but end up the new wheel to be bad

[@Tm4k10]

Nike AG pro sole is still so much better unfortunately

[@ItsakulUnahakate]

I do like the FG/AG outsole of Ace 15 too. Want it back.

[@clarknotkent__]

I wish FTs are available in all takedown models

[@alvisonsanasam08]

Are they comfortable with wide feet??

[@IPLPetru]

Thanks for your reviews

[@leaf_2879]

How is the weight of the Pro compared to the Elite model? Is it noticeably heavier and chunkier? I've always been reluctant to get Adidas takedown models because of the large amount of extra weight they sometimes have. I'd like to get a new pair of boots but I don't have time to play anywhere near as much as I used to, so its hard to justify spending all that money on the Elite model unfortunately.

[@unisport]

Yep, actually the weights are in the beginning of the video. Elite is 205g vs Pro 250g. It just feels an obvious lot heavier and more chunky really. /Jay

[@romysinghdodd5987]

Great honest video

[@KickassDubstepHD]

I'm trying to decide between adidas Predator League MG & Nike Tiempo Legend 10 Academy MG. Are those okay for AG? We are practising on AG but playing matches on FG

[@MrAndinho1]

The 18.1 and 19.1s had the perfect AG studs. There was no need to change it.

[@jogador91010]

Does anyone know which football boot I should get so I don't slip when it is raining on ag pitches?

[@firewarrior1508]

[@Mulloz1809]

In Australia, the fold tongue($460) version is $110 AUD more then the laseless($350) & lased($340) version. WTF? In USA & Europe its $10 Euro & USD more. That sucks. Plus the upper on the white(base white pack) feels more cheap, plastic & sticky then the Red limited edition & black(solar Energy pack). What's happening there? Love the Videos Jay.

[@tycey101]

I’ve worn a UK10 in adidas forever. My Elite FT just arrived and they feel small, feel like I should’ve gone up half a size to accommodate my wide foot.

[@runbirdhms]

I bought the 2G/3G AG plate because even Nike AG felt unsafe but pred strike feels SO heavy and SO wide. I think 2G/3G is wider than other plates. I had been wearing tiempo AG which weighs 160g but this thing weighs 260! They are even heavier than my turf shoes!!! So far disappointing (also no shoe bag and heel cups!!🤦🏻‍♂️) but I only played with them for 3 hours. Need some time to break in.

[@machaazahisagama3575]

So would it be better to go with AG?

[@runbirdhms]

@@machaazahisagama3575 depends on what youre looking for. I repurchased a half size down and played 11v11 for several hours on 2g/3g ag and tiempo 10 elite ag as well. Theyre definitely a fun pair to play with, but if youre looking for joint stress relief, then i wouldnt recommend 2g/3g. My joints hurt more after playing with 2g/3g ag plate compared to tiempo elite ag.

[@runbirdhms]

@@machaazahisagama3575depends on what youre looking for. I played 11v11 couple of hours once a week for a month and my joints hurt worse when i played on these compared to nike tiempo elite 10 ag. So if youre looking for boots which are leas rough on joints, then i wouldnt recommend 2g/3g ag plates.

[@runbirdhms]

@@machaazahisagama3575 depends on what you're looking for. if you think 2g/3g ag plate will be easier on your joints, then i would disagree. i played with these on for 11v11 for about a month and they're actually worse than tiempo elite 10 ag. 2g/3g ag plates are fun to play with don't get me wrong, but they have no benefit over nike ag plates when it comes to stress on joints.

[@runbirdhms]

@@machaazahisagama3575 adidas ag plates are horrible on turf fields. unless you're gonna get nike ag plates, just go with 2g/3g because they do feel more stable. after breaking in, i do like the 2g/3g plates but however i prefer nike timepo ag because the upper fits me better.

THE BEST PREDATOR FOREVER

[@benxyz5512]

I just tried the predators league. To me, they are pretty narrow and my feet were swetting like hell in them. My skin softened up pretty bad while playing and now I'm sitting here with very bad blisters on my big toe. No football for me next week and I'm gonna send them back to adidas. Anyone had the same issue?

[@straightgoose8832]

had the same issue way to narrow instant pain when trying them on in store

[@superfly3628]

I've never understood why Adidas have been so bad, with a very few exceptions, with their takedown models through the years. Heavy, clunky and with a different fit to the top tier model.

[@HahHah-y9x]

Give every review a good ag segment like this from now pls

[@MLNLad]

70 grams heavier is nuts? Why can't they just copy what puma does with the mg. Plus the 4g studs being near the same length as the fg is just strange. great review tho as always.

[@unisport]

Yeah it’s a big deal breaker for me with the weight and thickness of the plate. It’s a shame though as the studs have potential! I agree, doing what PUMA or Mizuno are doing would’ve been better! /Jay

[@MAD_DOG2000]

Guys Jay Mike Is back

[@Leo.vbg_]

Why has the predator with the tongue no AG option 😢

[@robtapster6062]

because the friction from the ag would destroy the elastic, so they would spend all year replacing items under warranty.

[@aaronajao1998]

@@robtapster6062 in the case of this they should just apply Velcro to the underside of the toungue similar to what Puma used to do with the older Kings or apply a metal button like on that of a jacket on it

If they had the zoom air unit of the mercurial, the FT Elites would be the best boots of all time.

Have been wearing the pros with an mg outsole q2 for a few days now. I gotta stay its a huge relief from my other boots because i have wide and high feet. So i always needed to get half or one size up which really gave me a lot of blisters and wounds on my feet. The only thing im experiencing right now are blisters on the heel of my foot. My left foot is slightly bigger that my right foot so no problem with the left one. But i am lowkey scared for my right foot. Do i just need to break in to the shoes or do you guys recommend changing them? I also got them for really cheap about 50 euros. Finding boots that fit my feet is really hard for me, so this shoe has been a huge relief.
