I remember ProDirect doing the same thing with the Messi/Bad Bunny. I think they claimed there were only 1000 pairs worldwide. No one else made that claim.
I’m team Nike when it comes to boots I actually prefer to wear, But in terms of aesthetics I think Adidas are killing it right now. The 25 Predators are so beautiful. All of them.
Thanks for sharing this. I live in the U.S. and bought some gloves from them and needless to say the packaging was so bad. The box was ripped. The actual box where the gloves were and the fact that the prices on their U.S. website are insane high compared to other competitors like just keepers and prokeepersline.
Packaging seems to be something they're only just getting on top of, I've ranted so often in the past about being sent limited edition boots in bags and not double boxed
I remember that video from Pro Direct and thought it was strangely low. Minimum it should have been is 2025 to indicate which year of the snake they design is for.
I’ve seen the Puma 8 review and boot wizard is spot on!!!!! I’m just lucky enough that the future 8 suits my foot shape but the dude on the pro direct video needed a tissue there was so much glazing
Glad they're working for you, unfortunately not my cup of tea, but with the right foot shape and a like for that very top layer of the upper could be a nice boot. Hahah, glazing is about right.
Pro direct have really and truly fucked up when it comes to their releases. first it was sign up and pay £10 for free next day delivery for a year and get exclusive access to limited releases. (never got any limited edition release access) then it was download the app to get access to exclusive releases. first major release app only and the app crashed. now its these EQL raffles where you have to pay a fee on top of the boot price if you win the raffle. its really all over the place and shows a big lack of direction, but with them getting all the biggest releases and most of the stock they just dont care how customers are treated, hence why with this fuck up there was no correction!
I'm not a big fan of that EQL system at all I agree and it does seem like the majority of things they're innovating with don't seem to pass on enough of a benefit to the consumer to be justified. They have actually deleted that video since I put this out, so we can take that as a bit of a win, at least they acted there.
This is another part of the problem with what PDS are doing. You missed out on a pair, which isn't really fair considering there are people like me who bought them thinking there were only 238 pairs. Without PDS releasing that info, you might have been able to get a pair a bit easier. If you're not in the UK, Unisport still have some sizes left by the way, 11teamsport have most sizes and PDS are only missing a 7, 10.5, 11, 12 just in case any of those work for you.
Totally terrible from prodirect to do that! However i would say that as someone who lives in the middle east, they are very fast and reliable when it comes to shipping to our region and are my main store of choice, many other large stores just dont ship or are way slower, just make sure u can filter through some of the BS claims they may make like " only 1000 pairs" 😅
I'm not questioning their delivery or products at all here. Although that might be something I do in the future their packaging is a disaster, just their BS, which for a company of this size, so big that you buy from them in a totally different part of the world, we shouldn't have to filter their BS. Especially when they're so obviously getting things wrong on purpose Glad you have somewhere you can get boots out to you and fast too.
Bro should I buy from pro direct ? I am from india and going to play football for first I am planning to buy future 8 from them what's your opinion mate?❤
You don't even have to get the wallet out, they take your details before you enter, the wallet is already out before you get robbed haha. Yeah they must missed a 0 or 2 😂
Unisport is fairly awful too, and, as much as i think Jay is a great guy as a person, but the store he represents gives him every single talking point. Even the "complaints" section is completely made up and a real stretch most times
You realise that's part of the problem you condescending prick. If PDS hadn't put out incorrect information then it's likely myself and others wouldn't have purchased them and more would have been available to others who may have missed out. While this is somewhat besides your point you'll also discover that you can still go out and buy these in this size from most locations, so nobody who wanted to wear them missed out as a result of me. And the numbers were so far beyond what PDS said it's highly likely very few people missed out. I could still find every size apart from a 10.5 this morning. More importantly what I do with my boots when I buy them considering I pay the same amount as anyone else is my business, why is my purchase of them worth less than someone who wants to play in them? And finally you probably need to pay attention to what I actually do on this channel 99% of the time, I review boots, test them, give people information to help them make the best buying decisions, I provide this information for free, I create this content for free, so rather than coming being an ass in my comments section maybe turn your attention to the 100s of scalpers who buy up boots with no intention to do anything else other than re sell them for a higher price. That's denying people an opportunity for a bad reason, not me curating a collection of something I'm passionate about. Engage your brain before commenting in the future.
I am absolute amazed that you could figure out how to type on a keyboard. Imagine sucking up to a company this bad. They're not gonna sleep with you. Dumba$$.
So I have a pair of predator 25 that I'm going to use to play in. As a collector of boots as I say in the video, it would have been an amazing addition to the collection if there were so few pairs, not really worried about them being worth anything but more having a really interesting and rare collection, I won't keep these now as they don't really add anything interesting to the collection, I could get the money back and use it to find or buy something else that I think would be more interesting for the collection or a really interesting boot to Playtest review for the channel.
That's a very fair point, this is a pro direct issue not really an Adidas one. May or may not change the title, I'll consider it. Thanks for the thoughts.
I remember ProDirect doing the same thing with the Messi/Bad Bunny. I think they claimed there were only 1000 pairs worldwide. No one else made that claim.
Absolutely correct they did it with those as well.
how you guys keep up with all these releases is crazy, i cant keep track of all these constant releases …. good work bootwizard
We are crazy obsessed with these stupid boots, that's how we keep up 😂😂. Complete madness. Thanks for watching
That is shockingly lame of Pro Direct
Pretty bad right! I mean, just get the facts straight, I have to assume it was deliberate, which, obviously, makes it worse.
Thanks for watching
The audio cut out at one point James. They are full of WHAT?? 😂
Can't possibly remember what I was saying there. Damn audio glitches. 😏
full of love
@@flakers1337 hahaha exactly
There in only 238 pairs release worldwide- Come on man for a such a big retailer giving out misinformation is crazy.
Yeah right, they're not even close to the actual number. Madness
I’m team Nike when it comes to boots I actually prefer to wear, But in terms of aesthetics I think Adidas are killing it right now. The 25 Predators are so beautiful. All of them.
I obviously end up wearing a lot of different stuff these days but ASICS is my go to right now if I have the choice

It might have even been more than that! Certainly wasn't a very specific 200 and something pairs 😂
Haha. Love it - good man! Year of the SNAKES indeed!
Hahaha absolutely, bloody snakes.

this video popped up on my feed right after my car got broken into and my pair got stolen
Oh man, I'm so sorry that happened to you.

Prodirectsoccer starting to annoy me with how they market things and making it seem like they're gonna sell out quick maybe
Yeah they're trying to create hype over nothing
They are still limited, nice-looking boots they sold out my size instantly ended buying them for my son.

I’d rather buy from Tokyo football anyway, i got two pairs of Mizuno MIJ’s from them.
They're absolutely my go to for anything from the Asian market
I have never liked using pro direct. Rather buy from another supplier.
I'm certainly leaning that way more and more
Totally terrible from prodirect to do that!

@BootWizard totally agree with you, it's just the best of the options I have access to, but I appreciate you shining a light on their problems 👍
@@baraaamir7891 yeah for sure not judging you for using them at all. Got to use what you can
@@BootWizard yeah it's all good, I appreciate the content and the effort you put in your videos 👍
Bro should I buy from pro direct ? I am from india and going to play football for first I am planning to buy future 8 from them what's your opinion mate?❤
In terms of them being legit and being able to deliver they're totally fine.
What about future 8 buddy I am beginner in football what's your opinion on them

Hahahah that slow mo. So good. Love a great rant. PDS has been garbage for years.
Hahaha, becoming a January tradition
@@BootWizard A good tradition
@derbyyank13 unisport and PDS done, who wants to have a go next year? 😂😂
@BootWizard soccerdotcom, obviously 😂
@derbyyank13 it does seem the obvious choice 😂
I returned mine today
I think a few will be getting sent back
Happen to me with the Beckham preds.. thought there was only going to be 5000 made … that was a lie ..
Yeah those were pretty readily available, at least in the EU and UK, too!
@ yea I’m in the EU. I waited for the adidas raffle. Didn’t get it in the raffle and then maybe a few minutes later. Unisport had them. 🤷🏾♂️ 🤦🏾♂️.
Liars. Not buying from them anymore
I think a few people will have that opinion if they keep doing stuff like this
They sold out so if u want some and did not panic buy then best of luck
Still a decent selection of sizes available on Unisport when this video went live a few hours ago
You “won the raffle” aka better get your wallet out. 238 just a small rounding error really 😂
You don't even have to get the wallet out, they take your details before you enter, the wallet is already out before you get robbed haha.
Yeah they must missed a 0 or 2 😂
Unisport is fairly awful too, and, as much as i think Jay is a great guy as a person, but the store he represents gives him every single talking point. Even the "complaints" section is completely made up and a real stretch most times
Fair enough, I think while they obviously are selling things I think there's enough there to read between the lines. But fair enough
@BootWizard yes, there is some truth, but a loooot of embelishment
@Boot Wizard Would you pick Puma King Ultimate 2.0, Nike Tiempo Legend 10 Elite AG or Adidas Copa Pure 3 Elite?
I haven't tried the Copa Pure 3 but reviews are good, the other 2 are only okay, I'd be tempted to look at the copa icon II
You paid$480?
I assume you mean Australian dollars? If so then yes.
aside from the major mistake from pro direct these boots look great imo
Totally fair, I don't love them but as always with boots it's a personal preference on the looks.
Awwwwwww didums! A collector of football boots is hard done by whereas a player might of wanted a pair of those boots to play in
You realise that's part of the problem you condescending prick.

they did the same with tiempo legend few days ago. there are more then 5k pair
I actually think there are 5k pairs, my Nike contact confirmed that with me
Why would you not want them when you said they're good looking boots? Do you only buy boots because they might be worth something? 🤔

Why adidas made you angry. They never claimed that.
Fair point, Adidas didn't do anything wrong here, it's all Pro Direct
@ i agree they are full of crap sometimes but adidas seems to be fair always
@@ModenaRoofing Adidas at least get their information right
Pro Direct lied. I don't see how Adidas fooled you. Title change is appropriate here.
That's a very fair point, this is a pro direct issue not really an Adidas one.
May or may not change the title, I'll consider it. Thanks for the thoughts.
