This leather is still good. Not K leather but very soft still. I have MIJ mizuno Morelia 2. And just played in the pearl version mania. This remake is really good after breaking in and the soleplate? Welcome to 2024. The soleplate is pretty good and not bad.
It was worse, because this was made in Germany. The quality of the leather is better, the animal does not matter, only quality of each skin does, and so is the build quality is much better
@@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw i assumed brands never made the distinction between the two because most of the time if it's not k-leather they just call it full grain. My bad. Good to know we're still given something considered top end, sadly for the same price as what used to be k-leather.
I still have my 2002 Mania. I was so looking forward to a new version, but my BIG gripe is that I exclusively play on AG surfaces these days. My originals are blades, so I'm not allowed to wear them on AG and there's the obvious knee injury potential (and at my age, that's not great). But Adidas don't do a full tongue AG version either. Annoying! And yes, I'm one of the 5% that would want the aesthetics to match. The stripes running under the foot are just fab!
@@ImmortalMachine I think there’s one coming out this year, but by now Adidas has made SO MANY of these, and it would’ve been nice to have had old Vapors out 😕
@@MarceloBlum23 not a fact. I worked with leather. Kangaroos just tend to have thinner, maleable skins. But a quality calf skin (from a baby cow) can be equally, or more premium. Only the quality matters
I have 2020 japan blue mania remake tormentor pack that just bought last year(BNIB), after just 2 games, 3-4 rubber fins starting to detached from its housing ☹️ hopefully this version have more durability than the predecessor.
You don't need to leave the top eyelet empty. You can bypass the second top eyelet, and inside the boot bring the lace through the top from the inside, loop it down to the second top eyelet and tie across from the same spot. This will pull the heal top tighter reducing 'slip'. For those arguing for K leather, the issue here is that there are places in the world where it'd be illegal. I believe it was California that has a ban on it, not a small market, so I can see why companies like Puma, Nike, Adidas and so on have moved away from it.
I own the Pearls and have been wearing them with great Joy! The issue I have and will have is durability. There is no way that these boots will last the full season. I don’t think this leather style upper is suited to the current pred sole plate. Some slight forefoot separation has begun in a boot that’s a month old. Have I entered for the black and red? Absolutely! Still a great boot and I recommend fully, just not sure how much life they possess compared to the old way of building them.
We need k-leather we want the remake as close as possible.Most people that buy remake boots are boot nerds and some older guys for nostalgia so half the audience could decide not to buy it.
I’m a boot nerd as well. But if you were blindfolded, you wouldn’t know what you have on your feet. Unless it’s extreme like CrazyFast+ versus Copa Mundial.
Good for you Jay Mike to give an honest opinion. To market a boot that's made in Germany and then have the upper made somewhere else (likely Asia) is really not cool. If I'm led to believe quality is better in Germany, then stick to it and give me the the whole thing from Germany. Now we see imperfection in the upper, which is a huge part of the boot, and they are made somewhere else but to Adidas specification, then it is Adidas fault of hyping up a subpar product as top premium collector item. Not cool at all.
Kangaroo leather was the only boot I would buy while playing….very durable and would form fit your foot. Plus, it’s lighter than calf skin. People with big feet understand….weight makes a huge difference. I still have an issue with people who play with any form of a predator. If you cannot bend the ball without some form of aid….you shouldn’t be playing. Get to work and learn how to do it consistently.
The only shoes that continue to be the best of the history are the ADIDAS COPA MUNDIAL and WORLD CUP. Kangaroo leather and lightness, touch ….all. But now the plastic shoes ruin the feeling of football…… unfortunately the young guys only check the Messi and Ronaldo colors…..
Actually wanted to buy one, since I played in the originals when they came out. but after seeing this, I am gonna jump into my new pair of powerswerves instead!
So iam a 14-year-old from pakistan i don't play in any club but i would like to improve myself if there are any tips i will be grateful and i am a fast faced player any tips will be great
For that price, they can go to hell. They won’t get my money milking ‘fans’ with that quality and profit driven greedy owners. Gonna give them till next year to get their game right for loyal supporters of the brand and if not, I’ll be shifting to Nike, who is considerate to consumers buying their products.
Calf leather now, k leather back in the day. Virtually all Preds were K leather until someone sent Beckham a video of how K leather is sourced. He was one of the first who had his boots switched to microfiber instead of leather
“Don’t buy before you watch…” - very funny (not). The boots are sold out almost instantly, what is the point of such videos? It’s almost impossible to buy them from the official stores. The only way is to find something from retailers for x10 cost, it’s sad :(
Adidas we want K leather and a split sole TRX plate…
RESUMING: The previous remake is better because it has k-leather and the outsole is far more like the original.
This leather is still good. Not K leather but very soft still. I have MIJ mizuno Morelia 2. And just played in the pearl version mania. This remake is really good after breaking in and the soleplate? Welcome to 2024. The soleplate is pretty good and not bad.

So when will I buy the shoes?
Previous remake, the outsole was not the same as the original lmao. Same configuration. TRX soleplate was the goat.
@@Luaone exactly, all the modern plates from Adi have the samr feel underfoot really (aside from the Ghosted and Speedflow)
Back in the day if you put calf leather on boots you had to sell them at a takedown price. Nowadays we pay top end price for calf leather boots 😤
NB 442 you can get k-leather with lower price🤣
@@ggghongkong9183 they are already synthetic 😞
@@omrac they have never put calf leather on takedowns. Adult cow leather, yes, soft calf leather, never. Calfskin is a premium material
@@trundibarno they’re not. There is a non leather version but they’re still available in leather

€300 euros for a calf leather boot? Cost is more than the OG and it’s not as good…
Wish Nike would make a million remakes of the mercurial vapor like Adidas does with the preds
Oh they're coming you better believe it

Its an absurd the industry stop using K Leader in soccer cleats, is the best material
I promise you, once you actually have them/wear them, you can’t tell a difference.
They use the highest quality cut. The type of animal does not matter, only how premium the cut of leather is
@@poetanderson3 i won’t because it is too expensive here in Brasil but i’am sure is great even without k leather
@@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw k leather is the best, this is a fact, but you can have a incredible boot with another type of leather

Hi. How do they fit compared to the Crazyfast X? I have usually 42 2/3 in Adidas and Nike (vapor) 42,5…can i go to true to size or half size down?

Hi @unisport if you had 80-100€ right now what boots you buying for AG? Preferably available in white and wider feet🤷🏼♂️

Where can I buy this ..?
@Unisport please answer this i know it does not have much to with the video but which boots should i buy i have wide feet and im a lw
Will there be a take down version?
Hi jay mike, I use 2020 remakes in US7.5 , should I keep it that way? Hope to hear from you.
@unisports
when will be the new barcelona away kit be in unisport shop??:c
“Assembled In Germany” has a nice ring to it 😂
“Quiet nice” “leather-like” not for that price tag

makes u wonder how beckham played pro level without the top lace hope tied lol
Please make a video about the vktry insoles
You cannot type DON'T Buy and Predator Mania in the same phrase
Haha fair enough - go on and sign up to get it then 😄 games.unisportstore.com/limited-edition-com-v2

Do you prefer these or the 1994 remakes
They just made everything better back in the day !

Hi , could you tell me the boots name please
predator mania
@Unisport what time does it release Jay, please help a boot nerd beat the resellers for once this year 🙏🏼🥺

@@unisport you are absolutely the man Jay!!!!!!! I signed up as well! Thank you brother!!!!!!!!
Wow that was fast thanks!👍🏼👍🏼😄
I can’t lie I’m so over the predator mania remake every year. I need them to run back the absolutes or the powerswerves.
bring back the original stud pattern!
good adidas predator 2002...good soles..
i dont know that manchester united manager has better skill in reviewing football boots than coaching
But the important question is what socks are these?
Actually wanted to buy one, since I played in the originals when they came out. but after seeing this, I am gonna jump into my new pair of powerswerves instead!
New? Careful, the glue sitting for 15 years might come loose fast 😢 (happened to me last year lol)
@@patitoduck123 yep, new in box, with tags. They look good on the glue side and the leather is silky soft :) thanks for the heads up 👍
Is he Eriksen?
Limited edition already sold out and now going for stupid money on eBay...
This looks to be the remake of the Manic instead 😁😅 they look nice tho
Adidas can’t seem to get their colours right.
It’s like they have a restricted colour palette, like Nike by you. 😂
It looks just so wrong without the stripes wrapping under the soleplate, Without that I wouldn't even bother
soleplate really ruins the vibe the boot brings
Would you take audio tag audio tag audio tag audio tag audio tag audio tag audio tag give audio tag
So iam a 14-year-old from pakistan i don't play in any club but i would like to improve myself if there are any tips i will be grateful and i am a fast faced player any tips will be great
It is a sweet looking remake but not something my teenager soccer player would wear.
I see your pov with being underwhelmed at the factory the leather looks cheap, and people will pay 500 euros lol
Wsg bro
First btw
Ten Hag got sacked and started making boot reviews.
They stop using K-leather cause som countrys have banned it.
Glory Glory Man United!
I am belong to India please give audio track

grey rubber 🗑️🗑️🗑️ might sell my pair when it comes in
As usual Adidas gives with one hand and takes with the other. This is probably the worst way to remake the Mania. Just trying to cash in. Shameful.
Day 1 of asking to interview nico williams⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Hii!!!!
The boot will be literally destroyed in 1 game if it was really 22 years old

Well they’re not on sale before September 9th, so you actually HAVE time before they drop to watch and decide if you should try for them.
