    There's always room for improvement, especially when it comes to football boots. If a new model gets released, we expect it to be better than it was before. In this particular instance, Adidas gave us exactly that, but somehow lots of people are really upset! Why?
    In today's video we take a closer look at the new Adidas Predator Freak+, the flagship laceless version of the Pred which undeniably looks very similar to the Predator 20+ it replaces, but also makes some really nice improvements. I discuss what's new, what's the same, and whether or not there's good reason to be unhappy with the latest offering from Adidas. What do you think of the Predator Freak?

    When the Adidas Predator 18+ and 19+ came out, I was so stoked and right away I fell in love with them. The material was soft and it felt great when I wore them. I also liked the height of the ankle primeknit on those models compared to the Mutator and Freak. However, I did gave the Mutator a chance but it just didn’t cut it for me. I wasn’t very impressed with the material and around the midfoot area it was very uncomfortable for me.

      Just got the 19+ second hand on eBay, near mint condition. They lock my foot in incredibly and are the most comfortable boots I’ve worn to date fitting my wide foot very well. I decided on the older model because I just don’t like how the edge, mutator or freaks looked as well as them sounding uncomfortable as hell.

  • @sainteven9244
    @sainteven9244 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree on the improvement. I find when a boot silo experiences complete revamp and makeovers from model to model a representation of "lack of direction" from the brand. But the Predator Freak+ update from the Predator 20+ sticks to what was working. So to completely redo the Freak+ would be counter productive.
    The weak points of the 20+ included, for me, lock down around the ankle, ease of getting the boot on, grip being on a larger surface area of the boot... These have all been addressed. All the while adding some cool aesthetic touches (stripes on the medial side, PREDATOR brand on the tongue). I enjoy the lockdown and fit wayyy more in the Freak than the 20. Much more snug around the top of the ankle region. This alone has taken the Predator from being a kick around boot, to a near gameday boot for me. The lockdown was improved that much for me. The grip being dispersed to a larger area is also an improvement I didn't know was needed. But it is a welcomed change.
    Now I'm just waiting for the traditional Black/Red/White colorway 👀

    For me adidas and all manufacturers could have just kept the old designs for longer as I don’t buy new boots because they released a new design I by them because my old boots are worn out and I really would simply like a new pair of the same design. The 1990s predators made with leather with the predator elements sown in were durable effective and a great boot. ( if they were good enough for Becks and Zizou they are good enough to keep making forever) so the fact that they didn’t change the design much after only one year is no problem to me if the design is good don’t change it. BUT..... the truth is these are NOT durable infact none of the mesh textile uppers have been read the reviews from actual customers on adidas’s web site these thing fall apart way faster then the old K-leather upper boots and the older boots in general. And they cost a paycheck for most young buyers who don’t have high paying jobs yet. (And the knock down models are even less durable)

    I think another reason a lot of people might not like this version is that the “demon spikes” have quite serious durability issues (especially for single pair owners) not just single spikes falling off, but sometimes even peeling back entirely, damaging the upper and busting an entire hole through them🤦🏻‍♂️ so to see something so similar makes one wonder if the same issues will be present or if they’ve done anything to improve it’s durability 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Surely it is a matter of time until Adidas release a TRUE Predator, with a leather upper. At this point I'll settle for a leather forefoot with rubber striking elements, but I don't understand why they wouldn't just release two models - a leather variant to go with the synthetic/knit or whatever you want to call it.
    I'd be amazed if they didn't sell well.

Won’t be until 2022 where I Do think there will be a drastic change for example look the x18 X19 which the X19 was more of the same boot with slight changes to the upper
