adidas Predator Freak .3 Firm Ground Soccer Shoe Mens

Product Information

Upper padding causes a distant ball sensation; may be remedied if you go with the laced version rather than the laceless which just has a lot of room around the foot Going to the laced Predator Edge, you get two options: one with the Facefit collar and one with an angled low-cut finish. As expected from any adidas silo, it’s only the laces that make the difference, though the Predator adds a twist by adding a high-cut option for the .1. All in all, as pointed out by Josh of SR4U in the video, the current combination of the Zoneskin, Primeknit, and lacing setup is not that great of a remix. Grip – Freak grip elements are small and spaced out, not stiffening the Primeknit; not the same with the Edge as discussed; grip levels are the same; Zoneskin more durable than the Demonskin spikes, which might have issues with a piece or two falling off

Lining might be better than some Nike Pro boots; not cheap or tent-like and has decent amount of padding in between the liner and the upper Given the points mentioned above, it’s obvious that the Predator Freak is the generally better boot than the Edge. Here’s SR4U’s comparison video and a summary of its points:Facetframe might be different in looks, but the actual sensation is the same as the previous generation’s Controlframe split-sole. The triangular stud configuration is a smidge more aggressive and a slight improvement. The Power Facet weighted piece has no observable effect unlike the classic Powerpulse technology. The Demonskin are actual rubber spikes potruding out of the toe box. They are now replaced with a minimally textured print in the Demonscale. How does the .3 feel on feet and which among the laced and laceless .3s is better?

As is the case with every Predator release, there are high expectations and a desire for a complete performing power boot. It comes with the territory, and adidas has pulled out all the stops on this latest laceless version. We’ve had them in testing the past few weeks, here is our breakdown on what exactly you can expect from them. The obvious purpose of the Predator range is to enhance and compliment ball striking, especially for players that like to get extra power behind their strikes. If we are to look at the Predator Freak in terms of power, they fit the bill and provide some extra pop behind shots. That I can completely agree with and it is something you will notice as you are strike shots or long passes. The 20.3 uses a less premium textile mesh coated with silicone compared to the Primeknit material of the top-end model. The soleplate is also made to be a single plastic piece, designed with the looks of the ControlFrame's split stud build. Also the grip element is changed from the Demonskin to Demonscale. How does the Demonscale differ from the Demonskin? Options and Pricing – Just on price alone, the Predator Freak is the better buy given their huge discounts today

Highlight: The latest generation of Predator, featuring updated rubber DEMONSKIN across the upper – true Predator DNA.

First, the Demonskin rubber spikes are replaced by the strategically-positioned Zoneskin ridges. Second, the collar’s height has been reduced and a slit is added on the front to make it easy to stretch the opening and insert the foot. Lastly, the new Facetframe outsole is still split-soled but features less cut-outs, a more straight-forward triangular stud configuration, and a weighted ‘Power Facet’ toe box piece meant to shift the weight towards the front when striking the ball. The upper is still Primeknit-based, but the fit and feel have changed because of the reengineering mentioned above. Our Thoughts… Despite the change from spikes to ribs, the Predator Edge is on par with the grip level set by the Freak and the Mutator and still feels like grabbing the ball literally. You can’t go wrong with the Predator Edge if you are looking for a boot that really does aid your first touch and ball control! If there is one boot that visually matches its name to perfection, it has got to be the adidas Predator Freak. Covered in a very unique, aptly named rubber DEMONSKIN pattern, the Freak leaves nothing to the imagination, creating an effect that matches the wildest Predator looks we have seen released in the past. Go for your normal boots size as these fit true to size. Width is relatively constant from rear to front and will accomodate even players with slightly wide foot shape. How much does the Predator 20.3 costs?

Adidas Predator Freak.3 Turf

Go for your normal boots size as this fit true to size. Width is relatively constant from rear to front and will accomodate even players with slightly wide foot shape. How much does the Predator Freak.3 costs? Thin tongue may cause lace bites; number of lace crossovers not enough and may place unnecessary pressure on the lace holes Single layer of plastic gradually becomes flexible towards the toe; simply ok for the price; MG offers more value for money since the FG does not offer any significant traction advantage There are a lot of similarities between the Predator 20+ and Predator Freak+, something that is very apparent from the first time you place them side by side. But there are also key visual differences, like the new ankle cut and the additional rubber elements placed up around the midfoot. Do these make a difference performance wise, and are those differences for the better? Also, wondering how exactly you are are supposed to get your foot into them!
