Please keep in mind that when I review any cleats, but especially takedown models, I factor in how they compare to other cleats that are similar in price and similar in terms of the fit and feel that they have on offer. I also never criticize any element of a cleat without a reason as to why I like or dislike it. Not every cleat is a great buy, and while these aren't terrible, I do think that they're not the best option at the $80 price point, for reasons that I explain in the video. Also, at no point in this video do I say that you should spend $200-300 on a top end model because they're better. Not every cleat can be the best, that's the reason why reviews exist. Thanks for watching, and look out for my review of the Predator 18.2, and the new Copa 18.1 very soon!
Soccer Reviews For You Josh, have you ever seen adidas f50 adizero gold James Rodriguez signature in 2015? He had in when he got fifa puskas award 2015. If you do, please make a review video
Soccer Reviews For You so which of the take down models are better then for the price i was looking forward to buy the adidas predator 18.3 but would love to know which would be better for Turf
I use these cleats, as a defender I always preferred a heavier cleat for some reason and always liked low cut cleats so once I tried these on a fell in love. It’s all about what you prefer in a cleat. Just remember tho a shoe doesn’t give you skill
I have the Predator 18.3,i've been using them for like 2 months now.I played 8 matches with them as a midfielder and i have no problems with them!They fit perfectly in my foots and i feel i run better with them,i don't they are bad for 120€ man you should not tell people to not buy them...
If you can get any boots for 50%, that's a different story, but that's not a readily available option, especially when the boots just came out. these are coming up on 2 years old now.
I haven't played football for 18 years, I just ordered these boots in white/red for £7 ($10) to get back into it and teach my two 4 year sons how to play. Totally worth 10 bucks right? I haven't played in em yet (we're snowed down ATM) but I'm old enough to have played in the originals in 1994 through to 2002~ (I even remember Adidas Soccer for PS1 having the "predator kick) so this was really the only shoe I know about.
He’s right i tried these on and compared the fit and comfort compared to the phantom 3 and the way the heel feels pm the predator 18.3 was very insecure and uncomfortable almost as if my foot would slip out and I had my size and tied on tight
I'm going to play for a soccer team on summer should I get the Nemeziz Tango (red/black) 17.3 or Predator 18.3 nitecrawler (black)...I'm leaning more for predator because I've had predator shoes and gloves for years (2013) Tell me in the comments which one is better?
While I admittedly have not tried the 18.3 preds, here are some counterpoints to considers: (1) phelon 3 is FG only (2) fit is subjective-phelon 3 was too tight for me-YMMV (3) 18.3 may have a more padded upper?? I do think this is a good review. I am looking forward to getting my hands on the 18.3 at the local store to compare.
Yeah, I havent tried them. Damn shame that something so silly would destroy an otherwise great value. I dont understand why they fit so shallow. On a slightly related note, since the Nemeziz 17.1 has heel issues itself with rubbing/blisters, do you think the 17.3 (being that it is cut different) negates the blister problem? I understand that is also suffers from the shallow heel. Given the choice between rubbing/blisters and a shallow heel though, I think I might take the shallow heel LOL :) WHAT A CHOICE, am I right?
thanks so much for your reviews! every year I buy a new pair and I come to your channel to see how good they are and if its worth it or not so thank you
To be honest, I have never had a problem with heel support or getting blisters on my heel from poor heel support, even with boots that have poor heel support. I’m still going to buy them, along with a pair of Nemeziz 18.3. I enjoyed the review though, thanks!
Hey bro, what do you recommend me buying: Predator 18.3, Nemezis skystalker colorway or the tiempo ligera 7? I am looking for a boot that can last a long season and that does a good impression too. I prefer the predator really, but any advice?
thank you very much but I think I will go for the predators 18.3 since I really like the predators and 80$ is really low talking about budget. I wish you luck these year and I hope these predators 18.3 do a decent job this season!
They both suffer from the same shallow.weird fit in the heel. If that were fixed, they'd both be decent. Fit is everything though, so if that's off, it doesn't matter how good everything else is.
Hi Josh can you help me with a question. I got the Ace Purecontrol 17+ and I was gonna get one of the 2 predators. Should I get the 18+ or the 18.1. In your opinion which is better. My second question is that on my 17+ they were just SLIGHTLY too tight, if I move up half a size will it be too tight? I still want that tight feel.
I play with the 18.3 and they are good boots the material is good and they are exellent... the thing is that a more expensive boot does not make you a better player. All the 'control' tech is bs...talent comes in the player.
This is facts. Buying the 18.3 was the worst choice I ever made. Pain everywhere in the foot, easily fell apart, didn’t fit well at all. Unfortunately, the premium prices are incredibly expensive.
I like light weight shoes, that are comfortable and have nice feel on the ball, which do you recommend, Mercurival veloce lll df fg or adidas ace 17.1?
Trouble with this boot and the reasoning for the review is that SO MANY people (like myself) have to buy the takedown models because the top line models by Nike/Adidas/Puma don't typically come in an AG plate. 3G pitches wreck your ankles and FG/SG studs are frowned upon, particularly in the UK/EU.
There are a lot of quality options. I think all of the Proximo models from Nike are really good. The Finale variations are solid as well. I'm personally a big fan of the Adidas Mundial Team. It depends on what type of fit and feel that you're looking for.
I saw your review of the Mundial Team Green, those were really appealing to me. Do you know where to pick up a pair of the green ones (US size 11) or just the Mundials in general at a good price online?
I have those boots and I have a problem with getting blisters when I wear them for a tournament. Does anyone else have this problem? Besides that they are really good to play in.
well i hugely disagree. i just picked my 18.3s and they are brilliant. the only thing is when u kick the ball or you run around a lot, it tends to crease but other then that, these boots are brilliant.
Hi, what would be a very good cleat because I play soccer, I need a cleat that can have good control, speed and traction. And I need the price point to be lower than 130 u.s currency because I can’t really get the high ends one because I’m a teen. Which one would you recommend?
I just bought these because they were so cheap and I had the EXACT problems you mentioned. My heel feels 'off the shoe' when my feet are lifted off the ground. Also, fuck they are so narrow for my wide feet. Any recommendation for a wide footer like me? I'm looking for an AG boot.
Can you make a comparison video of budget balls like the Adidas glider balls and the Nike pitch? Can you also make a video on what size soccer ball you should be using at what age?
Hi Josh, I have a very high instep and I have trouble getting into shoes (I recently tried to get into the tiempo legend 7 but I failed). Do you have any recommendations?
I have this ones and yes, at first it feels that it doesn't fit to the heel but after playing some days now it feels really good and not like a cheap boot
Soccer Reviews For You huge fan but he didn’t say anything about the fit changing, but he isn’t wrong at first they felt like they were about to fly away but it felt better and I got used it😂😂
I wouldn't really recommend these in general, as I go over in the video. As far as the Mercurials are concerned, specifically which model are you asking about?
The legs have some of the biggest muscle mass on the whole body..1 oz or 2 oz, your legs will never notice a difference...Lightness is a marketing gimmick and you subconsciously buy into it. The heavy boots today weigh as much as top end boots from 2005-2010...Weight has little to no bearing...because your legs won't notice a 1 oz difference...at all.
Please Josh or someone help! I'm don't know Wich one to pickup between tiempo legacy 2, Hypervenom phatal 2, Phelon 3, magista orden and Adidas x 15.2, all for the same price!
Please keep in mind that when I review any cleats, but especially takedown models, I factor in how they compare to other cleats that are similar in price and similar in terms of the fit and feel that they have on offer.

Is the puma future 18.3 review coming
make a review for copa 18+ turf and predator turf!
Soccer Reviews For You Josh, have you ever seen adidas f50 adizero gold James Rodriguez signature in 2015? He had in when he got fifa puskas award 2015. If you do, please make a review video
Soccer Reviews For You is it good for attackers
Soccer Reviews For You so which of the take down models are better then for the price i was looking forward to buy the adidas predator 18.3 but would love to know which would be better for Turf
They also do not have the superior zipper.
what are your top 5 takedown bootd
I use these cleats, as a defender I always preferred a heavier cleat for some reason and always liked low cut cleats so once I tried these on a fell in love. It’s all about what you prefer in a cleat. Just remember tho a shoe doesn’t give you skill
Predator series is NOT for defenders...idk maybe copa is for defenders but not predetors
@@haiderzaidi5551 boots by position does exist preference is what decides what boots you wear
He never claimed boots gives you skill bruh, but boots can make you play shit otherwise good... That's what he meant sude
basically an ACE with a different name
Yeah. It was going to be called the Ace but adidas changed it to predator after they noticed the demand for a “return” of the predator.
Spoon Man yes but some people like ace
Chewy Suarez ye but I have ace and just bought predator and I like the predator more bcs they are more comfortable
When the preds were taken fown from the market they made the ace so there cousin ands with almost the same looks but not insides
I’m buying these
MV7 I just bought them they are sickkkkkkk
Already bought them there great
Same
I bought them but their a little tight is it because I got the wrong fit or is it because it's their type?
@@vasileios_vs2593 the fit is actually a little tighter than usual but I personally haven't found that as a problem
Greetings from 2021😂😂
I just bought these for 5$, literally the last pair in the store and I'm not disappointed at all
WOW!! Great deal
I have the Predator 18.3,i've
been using them for like 2 months now.I played 8 matches with them as a midfielder and i have no problems with them!They fit perfectly in my foots and i feel i run better with them,i don't they are bad for 120€
man you should not tell people to not buy them...
You can het MUCH better boots for that money
shoes dont get u skills
I agree. Never said they did.
+Soccer Reviews For You
which is better(predator 18.3 or nemesis17.3 or mercurial vapor 12 academy)
please answer my question
AHMED DEMBELE nemeziz 17.3 feels really good and materials not far from top end models.
No but they help
their grip is ass
Honestly i love my 18.3s but this is a great review
No zipper joke?
Hey if you dont want it u could just u know send it to me 😉
DrAaXaGoN _ never happening... Lol
Reviewers have to consider the price. Just got this for 40$ and I think at that price point it's worth it.
If you can get any boots for 50%, that's a different story, but that's not a readily available option, especially when the boots just came out. these are coming up on 2 years old now.
@@Soccerreviewsforyou true. Love your videos so much!
Do a top Ten takedown models.
Tbh i wear them and they are perfect for me

These are the best cleats ever the control yu have on the ball is crazy
Does the Puma future 18.1 have takedown models?
Christopher Obregon thanks!
Not yet but they probably will when they are in general release
I'm sure there will be a full line.
I bought these . ENJOYING
But NOT studs
Yeap. Especially if you have a slim foot
I know both of them are not very good. But beetween Predator 18.3 and X.17.2 Which one in your opinion is better?
The only (or one of the only ones) comparison to 90% of adidas takedowns is the Hypervenom Phelon
While I admittedly have not tried the 18.3 preds, here are some counterpoints to considers: (1) phelon 3 is FG only (2) fit is subjective-phelon 3 was too tight for me-YMMV (3) 18.3 may have a more padded upper??
I do think this is a good review. I am looking forward to getting my hands on the 18.3 at the local store to compare.
These won't be much wider than the Hypervenons. It's the fit in the heel that ruins it for me.
Yeah, I havent tried them. Damn shame that something so silly would destroy an otherwise great value. I dont understand why they fit so shallow. On a slightly related note, since the Nemeziz 17.1 has heel issues itself with rubbing/blisters, do you think the 17.3 (being that it is cut different) negates the blister problem? I understand that is also suffers from the shallow heel. Given the choice between rubbing/blisters and a shallow heel though, I think I might take the shallow heel LOL :) WHAT A CHOICE, am I right?
thanks so much for your reviews! every year I buy a new pair and I come to your channel to see how good they are and if its worth it or not so thank you
I bought these a while ago. At first they gave me blisters on my achillies tendon area, but after use they became better. Pretty good boots!
He's right the 18.3 is not Dat comfortable
Josh when it comes to comfort, & responsiveness, - Flyknit ultra or Nemeziz 17.1?
I much prefer the Flyknit Ultra. It also wins in both of those categories you mentioned. Very different when it comes to fit and feel though.
To be honest, I have never had a problem with heel support or getting blisters on my heel from poor heel support, even with boots that have poor heel support. I’m still going to buy them, along with a pair of Nemeziz 18.3. I enjoyed the review though, thanks!
I bought these and instantly saw the title...
Josh,at this moment what do you prefer,Adidas Boots or Nike boots
I think Nike offers more variety across their entire line.
This Adidas 18.3 works good to me. Its a pink one and looks nice and contrast on the green field
I have them and I don't notice anything wrong with the heel slipping
Every adidas takedown boot feels like its going fall off your heel like a sandal.
After discounts, I ended up getting these for $30, do you think these are worth the price?
Yes
Hey bro, what do you recommend me buying: Predator 18.3, Nemezis skystalker colorway or the tiempo ligera 7? I am looking for a boot that can last a long season and that does a good impression too. I prefer the predator really, but any advice?
The Ligera 4 is a much better quality shoe than any of the Adidas .3 takedowns.
thank you very much but I think I will go for the predators 18.3 since I really like the predators and 80$ is really low talking about budget. I wish you luck these year and I hope these predators 18.3 do a decent job this season!
By SaPa-RD3189 hows that goin for ya
Do you like a the Nemeziz 17.3 or the Predator 17.3 better?
They both suffer from the same shallow.weird fit in the heel. If that were fixed, they'd both be decent. Fit is everything though, so if that's off, it doesn't matter how good everything else is.
I haven’t tried the Pred’s, but I can say the Nemesis’ are pretty good for the price.
My advice is to not get adidas takedown models, they are all terrible
I was going to buy this today. I thought it was cool. I held off mainly because of the collar felt like they just glued a 99 cent sock on
Hi Josh can you help me with a question. I got the Ace Purecontrol 17+ and I was gonna get one of the 2 predators. Should I get the 18+ or the 18.1. In your opinion which is better. My second question is that on my 17+ they were just SLIGHTLY too tight, if I move up half a size will it be too tight? I still want that tight feel.
I much prefer the Predator 18.1.
nice review! I can't wait for the 18.2 review :O
I play with the 18.3 and they are good boots the material is good and they are exellent... the thing is that a more expensive boot does not make you a better player. All the 'control' tech is bs...talent comes in the player.
RBST23 ikr its so good
With these boots are they supposed to have some space above your toes? The rest of the shoe fits perfectly except the toes.
Yeah same here. So much space at the toe
This is facts. Buying the 18.3 was the worst choice I ever made. Pain everywhere in the foot, easily fell apart, didn’t fit well at all. Unfortunately, the premium prices are incredibly expensive.
I like light weight shoes, that are comfortable and have nice feel on the ball, which do you recommend, Mercurival veloce lll df fg or adidas ace 17.1?
The Ace 17.1 is a better quality boot.
When you say there’s other options at the same price point, do you think that these are value for money at a price point of $28 after discounts ?
I think they're not great, regardless of the price. If a product isn't good to begin with, there's no discount level that makes it a good product.
Hey which do you think is better, the X17.3 or predators 18.3 THANKSSSS
I'm not a huge fan of either, but I think the Preds are better.
Should I get the 18+ if it fits my foot perfectly.? In my opinion the 18+ is more comfortable but I’m a little worried about performance
The overall fit and shape of the Predator 18+ and 18.1 is the same. The difference is the fact that you can tighten and fasten the 18.1.
My bro got these and returned them in the same day. Plastic Wal-Mart shoes, pretty much. He got real ace 17+ for $75 junior.
I’ve found these really tight for the first few games I played in them
Did you continue wearing them? I had the same problem recently and wondering if it gets better
Which is the best shoe at the 80 dollar price range according to you? (Except mercurials those are too narrow for my foot)
If you want something synthetic, the Nike Hypervenom Phelon 3 is really good.
I actually don't mind coz I'm a goalkeeper
Josh I love these videos keep up the amazing work . If you asked me what's your favourite boot reviewer I wood say sr4u
Predator 18.3 , Ace 17.2 or Nemeziz 17.3 ?
I wouldn't really recommend any of them.
The shoe is GOOD!
Takatoshi Lee yeah just got them I love them!
I know right I have the white and red/orange they felt weird on the side but now they feel better than any other of my shoes they are great!
I have those cleats too!
How do you tie up your laces?
by using your hands, loop de loop
If you’re buying these rn at Adidas since they’re “cheaper” I really don’t recommend them. They’re alright in size but around the laces are tight
Trouble with this boot and the reasoning for the review is that SO MANY people (like myself) have to buy the takedown models because the top line models by Nike/Adidas/Puma don't typically come in an AG plate. 3G pitches wreck your ankles and FG/SG studs are frowned upon, particularly in the UK/EU.
what would your list be for the top turf shoes of 2017? I am in the market for a new pair.
There are a lot of quality options. I think all of the Proximo models from Nike are really good. The Finale variations are solid as well. I'm personally a big fan of the Adidas Mundial Team. It depends on what type of fit and feel that you're looking for.
I saw your review of the Mundial Team Green, those were really appealing to me. Do you know where to pick up a pair of the green ones (US size 11) or just the Mundials in general at a good price online?
I have those boots and I have a problem with getting blisters when I wear them for a tournament. Does anyone else have this problem? Besides that they are really good to play in.
Put Vaseline on your blisters area that's what I do. less friction and you don't get blisters
can i use these kind of boots in street, will it damage the boot
They have studs.
So I thought about buying these Couse at my place They are pretty cheap And im on The Budget Do you have any clears reccomended?
At this price point, if you want something with a synthetic upper, I would strongly recommend the Nike Hypervenom Phelon 3.
Thanks for the help!
Was watching some of your older vids and damn bro you got swole quick
Would you reccomend the 18.2? thanks nice vid
I have not tried them, yet but I will be reviewing them very soon.
So I’m a beginner and i need cleats but i don’t really want to drop 2 or 300 dollars, does it really make a difference of the high end or takedown?
It definitely does.
I have these and love them, best boost I’ve ever had
There's no boost in them
@@tennisthelegend boost doesnt make it better the 18.1 doesnt have but it's the best of the predator line
What is the difference between the Nike hyper venom phelon 3 and the Nike mercurial Victory and which ones would u say are best?
They're entirely different in almost every way. The Hypervenoms are better in my opinion.
Boots are nothing pele wore barefoot on a local tournament and lost 6-5 he still proved he was going to be the best ever
well i hugely disagree. i just picked my 18.3s and they are brilliant. the only thing is when u kick the ball or you run around a lot, it tends to crease but other then that, these boots are brilliant.
Hi, what would be a very good cleat because I play soccer, I need a cleat that can have good control, speed and traction. And I need the price point to be lower than 130 u.s currency because I can’t really get the high ends one because I’m a teen. Which one would you recommend?
Watch this video, it will explain some things you should know th-cam.com/video/EMnhKcyKCvs/w-d-xo.html
I just bought these because they were so cheap and I had the EXACT problems you mentioned. My heel feels 'off the shoe' when my feet are lifted off the ground. Also, fuck they are so narrow for my wide feet. Any recommendation for a wide footer like me? I'm looking for an AG boot.
Something with a leather upper would be ideal as they're stretch.
Hey Josh will you be doing a play test of these new predators? :)
I'm planning on it.
Can you make a comparison video of budget balls like the Adidas glider balls and the Nike pitch? Can you also make a video on what size soccer ball you should be using at what age?
At 0:29 What do they both have in common? They don't have zippers.
Got these just today at the addida outlets for $40 I ain't complaing lol 👍
Thanks Josh.. I wanted these but if wasn’t a mid cut shoe maybe I’d get it but my biggest concern is the unnecessary mid cut make of this show
Hey Josh should I get a Nike Hypervenom Phatal 3, Predator 18.2 or Magista Superfly 5
The Superfly 5 is the best of that bunch.
Soccer Reviews For You I checked a shop and there's a sale for a Hypervenom Phantom 3.Should I get the Superfly 5 or The Hypervenom?
The stitching around the collar looks really cheap.
Hi Josh, I have a very high instep and I have trouble getting into shoes (I recently tried to get into the tiempo legend 7 but I failed).
Do you have any recommendations?
I would go to a store any try on as many different boots as you can to see what fits you best.
Soccer Reviews For You Thanks!
Is there also gonna be a 18.1 leather version of the boot without the collar and the primeknit?🤔
Unlikely.
yes there is
You still haven’t reviewed the Nike aurora pack (except the hypervenoms)
I have this ones and yes, at first it feels that it doesn't fit to the heel but after playing some days now it feels really good and not like a cheap boot
You got used to the way they feel. The fit has not improved.
Soccer Reviews For You huge fan but he didn’t say anything about the fit changing, but he isn’t wrong at first they felt like they were about to fly away but it felt better and I got used it😂😂
What is the best takedown model ($80)?
Hey josh i saw a video about a nemeziz 17.4 are they ligit or fake because i usually see that the cheapest takedown models are called .3
They make .4 models, but they're more generic and made as a very low budget option.
You are correct I suck at training with it plus my feet are very wide and it hurts my foot whule im using it sooo unnnnlluucckkkyyy
great video josh👍🏼👍🏼
I know I’m a bit late but would u recommend either these shoes or the Nike mercurial sock boots?
I wouldn't really recommend these in general, as I go over in the video. As far as the Mercurials are concerned, specifically which model are you asking about?
Soccer Reviews For You the Nike fire and ice mercurial superfly FG
The legs have some of the biggest muscle mass on the whole body..1 oz or 2 oz, your legs will never notice a difference...Lightness is a marketing gimmick and you subconsciously buy into it. The heavy boots today weigh as much as top end boots from 2005-2010...Weight has little to no bearing...because your legs won't notice a 1 oz difference...at all.
hey josh, which one do you think is better quality, nike veloce 3or adidas x17.2
luisito freddie Veloce III, but don’t get the collar, it really does nothing and just makes it hard to get on.
Veloce is better
Veloce
Would these be a good purchase for 40 bucks?
If you really like them.
What boots would u recommend for 40-80 bucks?
I just bought them and they're great
Josh review the x in this skystalker pack pls, great work man!
I have the new clear orange ones and I think they’re pretty great but I know it’s ur oppinion
i bought them for 44$ ,did it worth it?
guys i am thinking of buying this shoe but what is your opinion,do you thing is good?
Is this not a review?
Is just a fucking shoe lmao still it’s just looks but it’s not like u gonna be way better with them
Anyone else like the ACE takedowns more than the Preds
Are you going to do a playtest video for the 18+?
I'm working on it.
Soccer Reviews For You Thank you!!!!
would you reccomend me the nemezis skystalker or this predators?
I don't think any of the 17.3 or 18.3 Adidas takedowns are particularly great options.
Hey Josh is the last of the Adidas Ace 17.1 primeknit the same as the Adidas Ace 16.1?
Similar, but not exactly the same.
When I saw it first I thought it was American football shoes.
Do you prefer the mercurial hightop fire pack or low top vapors fire pack
I would prefer the Vapor over the Superfly.
what are your top 5 take down boots? thanks
Please Josh or someone help! I'm don't know Wich one to pickup between tiempo legacy 2, Hypervenom phatal 2, Phelon 3, magista orden and Adidas x 15.2, all for the same price!
I'm looking for quality and durability
The Legacy 2 and Phelon 3 are the only two I would consider from that bunch.
