- This is a play test of the Adidas Predator Elite FG Predstrike. Fantastic upper material, great football boot for wider foot shapes (when broken in), and excellent grip elements for shooting and passing.
BE AWESOME.

Noah, you are the best futbol boot reviewer because you actually wear the boots and show us your training session. Great review, Noah.
I appreciate you mate! ❤️
Its called football
@@chasedillon9818 futbol or soccer my man
@@JonathanArias15 no bbgirl its football
@@chasedillon9818tell him
Love the realness about working on your right foot it’s easy to think you gotta be perfect to be “good”
Agreed! 👍🏼
42 mins! This is awesome. Love seeing a full session. Super great video!
Thank you mate! 🔥
@@NoahCavanaugh You're welcome!
I’ve got quite a commute in the AM so seeing this vid length is music to my ears. Awesome review bro!
Love that! Enjoy 🫶🏼
I get the exact same pain on the side of my feet when breaking in boots, it’s good to see how the break in progresses during a session, a unique and informative way to do a review Noah!
I appreciate your words mate, thank you!
Love the fact that laces do not get in the way of the rubber grip elements like in the pred accuracy. Definitely the best preds since the lz. Awesome video bro keep it up 🙏🔥
Definitely class! Thank you mate 🤝
These play tests are great 👍🏼
Glad you like them!
Best at boot reviews, so much detail. For us poor people affordability and durability are huge factors!
I appreciate you mate! 🤝 I'll do my best to hit on those topics moving forward as well.
Long form content is 🔥 great to hear your thoughts on the spot. Have the tongue pair & absolutely loving them. Hybridtouch 2.0 really is something special & just works well for these
I appreciate you mate! Agreed, it's one of the better uppers to come out in a while from any brand!
Boots are amazing whether you go lace or tongue! Cant wait for the new colourways! Would also like an AG version with conical studs!
If they go AG studs, that would be perfect.
I went with pred accuracy ag and it was awesome. Same with my x19.1, went ag and they work amazing on fg.
That's a great shout! Would love the AG plate on these 🔥
@@NoahCavanaughwhat are your thoughts on the ag version?
Noah thanks for doing this review mate. 👍♥️
No worries mate! 🤝
Great vid mate. Just had my first play test with the predator elite. Can safely say they live up to the hype and I love how they just fit perfectly aka 0 break in time (true to size in JP), the weight is in the speed boot category which is a big plus for me perhaps still a tiny bit chunkier than my mercurial 15, x crazy fast and alpha but compared to the accuracy I’d say they’re on a whole new level the accuracy were ok but after I tried it on a few times I decided to return it. Some ppl complain the padding is perhaps a bit thin but it works just fine for me as I’m used wearing speed boots. Also a big note that I’ve noticed none of the reviews have mentioned so far is for ppl who like to take care of their boots these are a godsend as they’re so easy to clean with just plain water. Compared to my mercurial 15 (white limited edition) and the legend 9 montebelluna those are a pain to clean especially if I play on ag turf. So, all in all, I would highly recommend these to anyone. PS. A very pleasant surprise to know you’re a gooner. I’ve been one for 26 years! COYG!
Glad to hear that mate, and thank you for sharing you experience! 🔥
Can’t agree more about what you saying at 13:08 , and that is why I love your video!
I appreciate you mate!
Bro, Awesome!
😎
Definitely you should have more suscribers for sure you are really good probably at the lever of Josh from soccer review … keep going bro you rock !!!
Also at a level of jay mike of unisport channel
Thanks mate! 🤝
I’m really looking forward to trying these on. I needed a crowbar to get the Predator Accuracy on my feet, even going half a size up. I think the top of my foot is higher than normal, so if boots don’t give in that spot they’re useless to me. So I loved the Phantom Vision, but the Phantom Venoms were impossible for me to fit into.
Definitely would recommend mate! The standard U-Throat tongue should give you plenty of room to work with
Absolutely love them. Have you done a play test on the nike premier 3 yet? If not you should try them. They are super comfortable 👍
I haven't mate, maybe I should!
12:38 HONESTLY!! Just because one boot had poor performance, does not mean all future boots will be as bad! Great play test/review! Keep it up bro!

Hi Noah. I purchased the full tongue version in this colorway back in December 2023 (release date here in UK). In under 5 weeks, there was sole separation around the area of my big toe. Wondering if you’ve noticed the same at all? I sent them back to the retailer showcasing the issue.
Dang! Sorry to hear that mate. Might be to do with a manufacturer defect or could be your technique striking the ball too! Some people get more wear in certain areas due to technique more so than defect. I haven't had that issue at all
Amazing detailed review Noah 🙌 waiting for the tongue version! Did you find the tongue and laced version to fit the same? I found the laced version to be narrower when trying them on at the store but the tongue version fit well. Going up half a size on laced made them a touch too long. Some insight on that would be great, as I can’t play test them and they were obviously not broken in. Also wondering about the durability of the tongue strap seeing as I’d like to use these for a long time if I get them
I'm glad you enjoyed it mate! I haven't tried the tongue version yet but I'd imagine so!
Hi Noah, loving your play test videos mate. Well done and keep up your great work!
So I've got horrible flat rectangle feet 😂 I'm looking for a boot that has that great power sensation when striking the ball like my old Puma Power Cats had and have never been able to find again. What would you recommend for the best power boot on the market to suit wide feet? Cheers mate
I'm glad you enjoy them mate! I'd honestly go for the GX2 in AG - such a good feeling pair of boots to strike a ball in
@@NoahCavanaugh thanks mate. I'm in NZ and only play on real grass pitches. Are the AG fine on real grass? Looks like I'm going to have to get a pair of GX2's
I’ve just came from the Unisport Nike phantom gx 2 or the new lunas I guess they’re called and I’m really interested to see you compare these 2 and give your personal opinion since they’re both power/control boot category, MASSIVE FAN OF YOUR LONG TERM VID KEEP THEM UP PLS 🔥
Definitely will do some comparisons!
i’m wearing uk9 with adidas X (fits perfect) and uk8.5 with mizuno morelia neo beta (got a about less than 0.5cm at the toebox area but still fits nice). should i go with 8.5 or 9 on these latest preds? cheers
That's a tough one. probably a UK9 I reckon!
Hi Noah, would you pick the normal AG Soleplate for the preds oder the 2G/3G AG soleplate? What do you think is the best for AG?
Either probably works fine mate, I usually just use the FG for everything 😅
@@NoahCavanaugh yeah, FG would also be fine i think because ist the same sole instead of one stud more right? And the solar red predstrike looks so much better than the first pack in black
One question about the nike shoes. I'm a 46 eu in the phantom gx but my pinky toe gets crammed in there because the toe box is a little to narrow and my question is if the mercurial vapor 15 has a wider toe box? and should i also go size 46 eu on the mercurial. Love the vids
Take care
Go with same size. The Mercurial MAY give you a bit more room, but not much. You make wanna look elsewhere honestly
thanks for the help@@poetanderson3
That's a great shout! These definitely fit wider than the Vapor, but if you struggled with the GX, I'd go for something else for sure 👍🏼
Thanks for the review noah, and do you think padding in the forefoot these predators good as the puma future z 1.4? Just thought let you know keep a look at the puma studs they do mg studs aswell for some of their boots which is really good just for artificial grounds if youd like them you can see
Yeah, in fact it’s probably a bit more padded feeling than those, even if the fit is tighter overall
@@NoahCavanaugh thankyou again, that is good to know they got good padding look like good football boots, thanks for your help again take care
Finally. The one i was waiting for.❤
🫡
Not sure of what is going on with the feet types for this boot I heard a lot of things but I have medium wide/flat feet and these fit perfect. I can’t wear a lot boots sometimes because they press down on my toes and that’s what happened with the gx2/tiempos width wise they were good but I don’t have that problem here in the toe box. Only thing is I do have a heel slippage when wearing thin socks too. Would it have been worth it to go down in size or that’s just how the boots are made?
That’s just how the boots are made mate! Would go true to size
@@NoahCavanaugh 👍..Between Preds and Crazyfast what do you like better?
Wore the tongue version for the first time last time. A little discomfort for the first 10 minutes around the top of my foot but after that they were fine. Some of the best boots I’ve ever worn!
Do these have any chance of being your game boot?
Also when are you announcing your new team? Keep up the good work👍🏻
That's so great to hear mate!
Definitely a chance mate! 🔥
Will be hopefully soon!
Watching this from Australia, great videos mate. I recently got a pair of new predator elites in black and have found them to be great. My only negative is the tongue keeps moving towards the outside of the boot and I have to keep adjusting the tongues. Do you find this too and do you know if there’s a way to stop the tongue moving?
Maybe you could cover this in your one month review?
I do mate, will address it in the 1 Month Review but it’s just annoying
Nice boots and reviews! Can‘t wait to see the new colorways and try those with some discounts options for these later time this year!
Hey Noah, do you see as an experienced pro player, that there is a correlation between the wideness of outsole and likelihood of shinsplints? I always thought the shinsplints occur from overuse, fatigue from trainings and games, but recently I am breaking in both Mizuno Alpha MIJ and Copa Pure+ and only Pure gives me lots of pain around the shin area and had to take them off to switch to the Alpha. It might be differences from tongue vs laceless as well. Do you see if the boots are too tight in width, will it give players shinsplints?
Thank you mate! I'm not a physio or a doctor, so I can't really say. That being said, I've always been encouraged to do pre-hab and post-hab on my legs to make sure that I'm not getting overly fatigued in certain areas because of a pair of boots.
@@NoahCavanaugh gotcha! Thanks!
So basically they are slightly less wide than previous Predator accuracy, but would it be a problem for wide feet players? I loved the predator accuracy because of the grip elements and also they are some of the best boots for protection since i get many kicks on my feet.
These are fantastic mate, there will be more break-in time compared to the accuracy, but most foot shapes should fit in here
Hi Noah, what you recomend between the phantom and the predator for narrow feet ? Especially on the internal side of the toe area. Thanks . (Currently i’m wearing vapor 13 and they fit well width wise)
You'd probably be okay with either to be honest, although the GX will probably mold better to a narrower foot. If neither work, I'd try the NB Furon or Vapor 15!
Hey Noah, what’s your opinion on the new AG sole plates on the preds? Worth it over the FG version for AG? Thanks
Haven't tried them mate, but they look decent! If you only play on AG I reckon they'd be worth a go!
@@NoahCavanaugh cheers for the reply, I’m not sure if the AG soleplate is as good as the control frame, and if the FG boots are fine on AG then maybe it’s best to stick to FG? What’s your opinion mate?
Hi Noah, what socks are you wearing here? Looking for some really thin sock, but not with the grip attached, but can't really find any! Great video! Cheers, Tom
WeFoot Grip socks! They have grip on the inside and outside of the socks. Definitely would recommend, and they have a thick version as well! If you decide you want some, here's a discount code link for you: wefootsocks.com/discount/noah20
Interesting on the wet sock routine. When playing in wet conditions I find more slip since socks get so wet 😅
Maybe it's a fine line between when it's hot as hell outside you can do the water trick, and when it's soaking wet there's just no hope regardless of what you do 😂
Ive heard some boot reviewers compare the fit and shape of the new Predators to that of the Copa line. As someone who owns a pair of Pure .1s they took a bit to break in for my wider feet, but after 3-4 wears they became super comfortable. I’ve heard some people call these a Copa Pure with grip elements. Would you say that’s accurate?
It's a bit similar, but these are a bit more snug in the forefoot and a bit wider feeling in the midfoot than the Copas
I have an 11 in Puma Futures with really wide feet like yours, should I go tts?
You could mate!
About the sole plate on the ag, with adidas rarely releasing ag variations, 1) what has been your experience with durability and 2) will you lose your warranty as a result? Cheers mate 👍
The play test JUST came out mate - gotta be patient for the 1 month review. 2) you won't lose your warranty as far as I know unless you buy directly from Adidas and then they may not let you return them
Really torn whether or not to get these next. I’ve been playing exclusively now in the accuracy.1 for about a year now. I also really have gotten used to having the knitted tongue area and don’t know if I can go back haha
These are so good though… much better overall fit in my opinion
The boot feels tight in front at toe and fitting all over at the same time as I got a half size down. Do you think it’ll fit me well after few games with it??
Maybe? I don't recommend going 1/2 size down with these... soooo not sure how to help you mate 😅
I also got 1/2 a size down? How are they now? Did they adapt to your feet?
Noah how are these on AG pitch would you recommend them? I am trying these in the weekend. My only worry is getting injured.
Maybe Adidas do these boots in AG? Would like to know that.
@@JohnnyComelately-eb5zvthey classify their FG’s as AG’s as well
@@JohnnyComelately-eb5zv not released yet in this version in the UK
@@jayali1678ok thanks for the info jayali 👍
I talk about this topic IN THE VIDEO mate 😅 Gotta watch! 🫶🏼
Quality video, watching this video made me more urgent in to buying the predators. Noah, how would you could compare these to the Nike Tiempo’s Made in Montebelluma? Although the Predators made by a completely different brand and type of cleat. I really want to buy these predators but I don’t know if I should. I would love to hear what you think.
As you said mate, they're completely different boots. It really only matters how the boots FIT you at the end of the day. Both the Preds and the Tiempos are great
Have you ever tried the ag outsole?
The predator AG hasn't released yet, but I'll probably try it, yes!
Will you be trying the one with the fold over tongue
Yep!
Noah very good review do you think they will release an AG modele thank
I don't know mate! Per the review though, you'll be just fine with these on AG
What boots do you typically use in a match? I'm a similar foot shape to you.
GX

Yes, so long as they fit your foot

Yes
This or mizuno m neo 4?

Your position has nothing to do with your position mate 🤝 it’s important to find boots that FIT you
2:51 YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, WHEEEEEYYYYY 🔻

Noah..predator elite or predator Zidane?
Predator Zidane? Like the OG ones? I never wore them so I'd have to say these!
@@NoahCavanaugh ADIDAS PREDATOR ABSOLUTE FG
Planning on ordering these hopefully from the dame retailer when a new colourway gets released and the gx 2 and keeping the one that feels best.
Both look very impressive
Love that mate!
what are the best boots puma has ever created?
In my opinion? the EvoPower 1.2
@@NoahCavanaugh do you think the puma king platinum is good?
