Craig Johnston...legend. He originally had a deal in place with adidas for 2% of all boots sold. When Adidas was taken over by new owners they pulled out a clause in the contract and bought him out, he estimates he lost out on 100s of millions of dollars. He deserves more recognition for inventing these amazing boots
The ‘98 Predator was perfection - it was THE football boot to have. Zidane, Beckham et al wearing them at the World Cup made them even more desirable. Zidane’s gold boots he wore when he got sent off in the final were also pretty sweet.
To me, 1998 Accelerator was the most epic one, also my first pair of "premium" football boots! Lucky got a pair of the remake but would like to see they remake the white edition as well...
One of my teammates wore the original Predators in the 90's. He was around 110 kg then, but he also was an excellent free kick shooter. He played as a defensive midfielder but he was free of defending duties as long as he was able to score the free kicks we were awarded with. He was very talented in that strategy.
i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
Predator Pulse is my favorite of them all. I had the Pulse, Absolute, PowerSwerve, AdiPower and LZ 2; and I loved the Pulses so much I bought my second pair on EBay in 2010. I still have it.
I really enjoyed this. Not to date myself too badly but when I was young, the Adidas World Cup all leather Boot was the pinnacle of football boots (also super expensive). This was great to see, thanks! Would love to see more evolution videos!! Kind Regards!
Predator Precision is my favourite one. I've always wanted to own one, but never did. It's beautiful, it's light, it's modern and it's worn by big stars. Oh I wish I could go back in time and beg my parent once again to buy it. Haha...
Have a pair of 2012 lethal zones that I still play with periodically to this day. In fact, I got them that year bc of a Unisport review by Joltter! He was making all kinds of ridiculous knuckleballs with them so I had to have them. Lol. Just got back into soccer again so I’ve been catching up on old vids 😃
I think the main problem is that people is not happy because nobody has created yet a synthetic skin 100% like leather, so no synthetic Predator will feel like 90% of the Predators ever made which gave nowadays reputation to this boot, together with the rubber elements. Second, these are the most expensive boots in the world because of some technology that has absolutely no real impact on your perfomance, useless technology. People gets angry because there is no sense to buy these cleats unless you just want to look like Pogba or Dele Alli or whoever is sponsored by Adidas. What is Adidas giving to the consumers who wants OG leather-rubber feellings? Nothing.
Unisport the one you slightly disliked around the 7.30 mark, they were easily the best pair I've used (probably had 6/7 different boots/makes/models) but I think I had plastic studs which eventually tore away near the heel area. Anyone with wide feet will admire the fit and probably the comfort level but yeah they were the best predators ever imo. Peace
My absolute favorite Predator was the Pulse in the white/blue/silver David Beckham edition. They also happen to have been my very first pair of football boots.
I still have all my Adidas Predators 1994 1995 1996 1998 2002 2006 2009 2011 2014 I still have all these boots cleaned up and stored away in their original boxes My 5 fav years are 1995 1998 2002 2006 2014 but my #1 fav year is 2002 After 2014 after 20 years I switched over to the Copa Mundials to 2021 Now I currently have both Adidas Speed Portals Messi (White Red Black) and the Nike Phantom GT Elite lows. Both are fantastic shoes but gotta give it to Adidas for Price point Adidas $129 Nike $275 but both are really great shoes but for the upcoming year im gonna go back to the Adidas Copa Mundials and use my current Nike Phantom Elites as I got them late in Nov 22 Looked online to see if could get the 2002 Adidas Predators they were retailing @ $1499.99 on eBay GOAT StockX & Stadium Goods, a little too pricey for those especially to have on the pitch. After 2014 I was not impressed with the Adidas Predator line at all too many colors variants and not as good quality as in the past hopefully 2023 that will change. Nowadays, I’m seeing a lot of Puma New Balance and Diadora is back in the game I also wish Umbro and Lotto would step up their cleat game as well only time will tell for this old geezer im 42 now and still play I don’t need to go to the gym if I play the game I love since I was a kid at least 5 days a week, which is very easy for me being that I’m in 2 leagues right now. Monday to Thursday I practice 1.5 hours a day then game on Saturday and game on Sunday night and surprisingly, I can still do it. Being single no kids no wife also makes it a lot easier. I’ve been playing regularly since 1985 and that makes it 37 years of the World Best Sport that have got to play and 2023 will be my last year and will not be hanging up the boots im gonna start coaching after 2023. 2024 I will have a clipboard and whistle around my neck coaching Under 16 teams and right now reading watching videos and talking to coaches about how to be the best coach I can be with my knowledge of this game. May god answer my prayers as he did keeping me on the pitch for this long, and have me teaching the youth what this game is all about. And also to keep the youth in line about their education and away from the streets and drugs is one of my main goals especially with the Fentanyl Epidemic we are losing the battle everyday. Let’s let Soccer and sports be apart of that change. I HAVE A GOAL💪✌️⚽️❤️☮️📚📋 #soccerismyreligon
Please do a Q&A session.Heres a question:You have a 90 min free kick.You have mastered 3 techniques:the knuckleball,pure whippage/curve,or trivela shot.Make the choice win the game.
My 2 favorite predator models were the AdiPower in the Blue & Yellow color way and the black and orange color way (which I had). And the Lethal Zones in almost every color.
Hi Jay and jollter i have a question can you maybe make Like an "tour" of the whole unisportstore in copenhagen (gonna travel to Denmark when i'm older to Explore him😊⚽)Just to get a look?Would be really nice if you answer😊😅 Edit:Thx for 3 likes hahaha😂😂but srsly it Would be a really Good Video idea right?Sorry If i am annoying But I really love your channel
Actually the traxion was introduced during the predator touch ear, not the accelerator. but kudos for introducing the line again,, bring back epic footballing memories for me ^^b
I remember the silver predator mania in silver color ones with the gel inside the heel. I always wanted those pairs but my dad said they were too expensive. Always dreamt of playing with them. :)
Where did that Predator X come from? The edition available to markets, at least US, the soft ground variant had 6 studs and the PowerPulse insert was left with the 08 Power Swerve boot. The PowerSpine outsole even in SG variation looks altogether different than what you have in your hand.
Joonas Sytela Well,Some People think the predator 18 isn't a "Real" predator but in my opinion It is because predator is all About Innovation and i Like it
I am your big fan ,and I have watched all your videos but I have a question -Why do u keep the same boot on the left side beside World Cup trophy🤔 ???plz reply Unisport 🙏🏻😬😬🤔
Forgetting about the predator incurza,malice etc(although the title does say football boots in fairness). Looking back at it now it seems strange that the elasticated tongue band was placed where it was on the mania - surely having the band pretty much exactly where you would strike the ball negates all the strike zone technology?

Hands down, I had the white ones in my premier club. And you best been scoring goals rocking anything over 200 dollars
All the remakes look poor compared to originals. All the new shitty synthetic materials
Predator: The Greatest Football series ever......
Jon petter same
Nah, vapor
Yes
@ yuck. Nike has no history in football, nor class
@ haha no

*Get the new Predator 18+ here: **www.unisportstore.com/football-boots/1415-predator-collection/* 📲 💸 /Jay
I live in the US is there any way to pay with US cash and use the US shoe sizes in the unisport store?
I am pretty sure that his videos aren't rehearsed. He is such an intense football geek that he just lets his enthusiasm rip through.
The 98 boot was an absolute beauty
i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Marc Jordy Instablaster =)
Man those were so gorgeous!
Awesome outfit. Tell adidas to put some K leather on the new Predators.
true
Adipower still has its place in my heart. First pair of football boots I loved
Predator Pulse is my favorite of them all. I had the Pulse, Absolute, PowerSwerve, AdiPower and LZ 2; and I loved the Pulses so much I bought my second pair on EBay in 2010. I still have it.

Probably the predator absolute was my favorite of all time
That 2007 Predator is one of my favorite boots ever. Top 3 for sure.
97' vet player here. That model really did have psychological affect on my game. I played my best football in those boots.
Nostalgia plays a big part here. I grew up with the Precision being the one for me. Beautiful boots.
The Predator X were actually my favourites. I never bought into the Pred hype, until I saw the Pred X. To each its own.
i have been waiting for this boot history.
I really enjoyed this. Not to date myself too badly but when I was young, the Adidas World Cup all leather Boot was the pinnacle of football boots (also super expensive). This was great to see, thanks! Would love to see more evolution videos!! Kind Regards!
Copa mundials are still the standard when it comes to comfort.
Predator Mania, Pulse and Power Swerve are my personal favorites. I love Adidas!
Amazing video !!!! Love the Predator !!! Best wishes from India!! #Unisport #UnisportLife
Predator Precision is my favourite one. I've always wanted to own one, but never did. It's beautiful, it's light, it's modern and it's worn by big stars. Oh I wish I could go back in time and beg my parent once again to buy it. Haha...
I HAVE THE ADIDAS POWERSWERVE!!! Omg It was my brothers old shoes, now I know that its one of the legendary and the best football boots ever!
predator precision, mania and pulse. 3 of my favourite boots of all time
love my 2007 predators, bought them in 2008, still use them today!
Have a pair of 2012 lethal zones that I still play with periodically to this day. In fact, I got them that year bc of a Unisport review by Joltter! He was making all kinds of ridiculous knuckleballs with them so I had to have them. Lol. Just got back into soccer again so I’ve been catching up on old vids 😃
Accelerator is a dream cleats! Goat boots
Proud owner of a pair of Predator X :’)
i still got my Predator Precision Champions League Edition... still love them.
From iconic to innovative

Predator has a history full of mystery.....
My absolute favorite Predator was the Pulse in the white/blue/silver David Beckham edition. They also happen to have been my very first pair of football boots.

Actually the traxion was introduced during the predator touch ear, not the accelerator. but kudos for introducing the line again,, bring back epic footballing memories for me ^^b

Where did that Predator X come from? The edition available to markets, at least US, the soft ground variant had 6 studs and the PowerPulse insert was left with the 08 Power Swerve boot. The PowerSpine outsole even in SG variation looks altogether different than what you have in your hand.
I’m pretty sure everyone is happy that the predator is back
Joonas Sytela Well,Some People think the predator 18 isn't a "Real" predator but in my opinion It is because predator is all About Innovation and i Like it
I like the predator powerswerve .
1998 Predator Accelarator still the best as original Predator, and 2002 Predator Mania Japan Blue Remake is the best Predator Remake

I still got some OG Accelerator, Mania and 2 pairs of Absolute ❤️❤️❤️
1:Predator Pulse
2:Predator Rapier
3:Predator Mania
Forgetting about the predator incurza,malice etc(although the title does say football boots in fairness). Looking back at it now it seems strange that the elasticated tongue band was placed where it was on the mania - surely having the band pretty much exactly where you would strike the ball negates all the strike zone technology?
