I’m 19 and these boots made me feel old for the first time LOL the boots are absolutely beautiful; reminds me of my 7 yr old self watching Stevie G smash volleys from 30 yards out (and I’m a die hard man utd fan)
Man I wish they'd bring back 'power' boots like these with full leather uppers etc - they just look so much better than the options available today and they're so much cooler than anything you can get now, still got my pair of Predator X's lying around and they've held up remarkably well over the last 9 years or so!
I love these videos as I am 37 years old , my Best days as a player I used yo wear many of these models, oh the memories, something the boots have lost is durability and quality, Now the boots are disposables after 10 matches, even if they are high-end models, I know it is the tendency to make them light and materials etc, but you didn't throw your money in the trash.
Irving Herbeles While today’s boots do have massive tech that absolutely are amazing but I agree with your opinion which is a fact. Haven’t had a pair that lasted this long. Throughout my entire middle school period,the pred(mine were absolute and powerswerve) literally lasted so long
I love the Predator line, these boots in particular still look great today in my opinion. The sharp sleek design didn’t age the boot 13 years later, even though it’s a little bulkier I think you can appreciate the design for its time
Had a pair of the David Beckham signature powerswerves, I remember them being white and gold, got me into preds at a young who, went to adipower and predator x directly afterwards
Tungsten weights have been used in golf for a while too. In golf, they pull cg back so it offers less face rotation on impact. Usually, it's pretty minimal but it's a cool idea (if that's what they were going for). I have a pair of these and I, personally, don't notice any changes in power or forgiveness. A lot of the factors tested in lab settings are under really controlled settings which lack ecological validity/don't generalize to day-to-day settings. Still a great pair of boots. Good video!
My first football boot was the predator absolute (well, the takedown model at least) but I have some amazing memories with the powerswerve. It just looked awesome, was crazy comfortable and had amazing colorways. I had a few of them (futsal model), wore them everywhere, went to the mall with them and everything lol. My absolute favourite was the white/red/gold but I did wear the white/red/silver the most... 13 freaking years ago, goddamn lol
I love to see a video of the 11pro 3 again along with predator pulse.. Gotta say watching this floods a lot of my middle/high school football memories. Tho the pred absolute is my all time favorite but have a special place for the powerswerve
The difference on the stitching pattern is because PowerSwerve is not a single version boot, among the 26 colorways there are three special colorways one for "Power", one for "Swerve", and one for "Control" if I remember correctly, and some none K-leather versions too. To be specific the "Power" one has white leather and black synthetic part with silver stripes (they do print POWER on the stripe), the "Swerve" one is dark navy blue and has the SWERVE printed on the stripe, the "Control" version is white with some extra griping lines I suppose and yes of course CONTROL on the stripe. The "Swerve" pattern is the same as the original ones and the other two have their own patterns. From my collection of the Powerswerve the UCL version has the different pattern too (same as the "Control" one but without the extra lines) which I have no idea why.
Once bought a pair of powerswerve on holiday in London and was stopped in Security at the airport on my Way back to Denmark because they were in my handluggage. On the Security scanner the tungsten looked like at metal blade and i had to completly empty my bag just for them to find a pair of football boots :)
Never got to that time and if anything not even some of the big Instagram predator fan pages even mentioned that model. Understandable since it comes right after the mass hype of the Mania
Hey Josh. I was just wondering if you could help me out. Years ago I had a pair of leather Adidas boot that was a boot from a famous player. They were really good performing boots. Had them in a Yellow colour way with red and black accents. I remember them coming with 3 different insoles (comfort, speed and 1 other). If you know what model they were it would be good.
The weight thing is rediculous I had a pair of these preds I wore for soccer and american football and the tight fit and aggressive traction made these my fastest pair of cleats . The clunky ass touch and leather flap that flops around after the elastic enevitably breaks is another story
I am a college soccer player who loves leather and I've been looking at your mizuno videos. I know you are digging the Morelia Beta, but I would like a boot with a full leather upper or at least 2/3. For you personally, do you like the leather aspect more on the rebula or the morelia II??
What are these socks with the heel protection? I would have needed those 20 years ago, was not able to wear soccer boots back in the day cause I would always get terrible blisters :(.

I want that soleplate to return, so much traction
Too much sometimes I wore them on turf and fucked up my ankle bad !

😂😁🔥
@@jonathanperez7636 yah, just say where you got it from.
FIRE JOKE🤣😂😅🤣😂😅
I had more color ways of this boot than any other model. Definitely one of my favorite boots of all time
I loved the powerswerve back when they were my boot of choice
Still would use them
Used to have a pair of these as a teenager and loved them! Would love to be able to get my hands on another pair!
Still use this boot to this day, absolutely beauty to play in.

this was my first soccer shoe i ever had and i will always have this special place in my heart for this boot
The amount of features the power swerve came with is amazing to see again, I love these retro reviews
I think the 2015 f50 adizero would be an interesting review! Last f50 before they killed it off
What a great one... Beckham's blue/gold were my fave, they hold up very well still after all these years.
I literally watched your Retro review of the Powerswerve yesterday. One of my fav boots of all time.
"The spiky sock"

Absolute love the Powerswerves. Still have 5 pairs. They still look so good.
Retro Review the predator pulse, my all time favorite predator, which doesn’t always get the love it deserves 😭
Yessss !!! Agree 🙏🏻
I love to see a video of the 11pro 3 again along with predator pulse.. Gotta say watching this floods a lot of my middle/high school football memories. Tho the pred absolute is my all time favorite but have a special place for the powerswerve
Had a pair in black white and blue, probably my favourite ever pair of boots
Literally my favourite boots ever
I remember taking that sand insert out immediately when I got these and put in the "comfort" insert. Feeling the sand move when you ran felt so weird.
This boot really took off in South Africa, especially for rugby players. Durable and comfortable.
We need a remake of these

Hi. I just bougth a pair of these in the launch colourway and I love them.
Wish they would bring these back for general release loved them
Great work mate loving these RETRO ones 👍🏼

My favorite boots of all time, i had the black and gold ones, Rome champions league edittion to me the best boots i have ever played with.
even its weird looking its the best pure feeling of power -control boot ever
One of the greatest ever football boots in my opinion
Still my all time favourite football boot
Bought a pair earlier this year the navy blue with white new I always wanted them as a kid but had no money back then
These were my first "elite" football shoes back when I was too young and too bad to really notice a difference 😂 but at least they were in sale
What I'd give to go back to those days.
You should do the pred x too, the spine soleplate was awesome. Most people hated the whole boot though haha.
For me the Powerserves should be compared to the Absoulutes. And the Absoulutes just look better. But definitely the PS is gorgeous, has aged so well.
There seems to be no love for the Predator Pulse. Perhaps my favorite Predators. Everyone seems to sleep on it. I'd love to see a retro review.
Never got to that time and if anything not even some of the big Instagram predator fan pages even mentioned that model. Understandable since it comes right after the mass hype of the Mania
I hate that at some point the material tongue holster that goes along the bottom of the shoe wears down bad after heavy use
These need to be remade ASAP
Got them in white and gold, I like them a lot.
If I could get my hands on a pair of those in hg...
Loving the series. Pred Absolutes in the near future?

If you're looking for the better leather feel, definitely the Rebula is the better choice. Puma King Platinum is worth a look as well.
Lets see some Puma Powercats compared to the futures!
wow! Shoe game is on another level.
I had a pair of the power swerve great fball boots

all time favorite !!

I've been playing soccer most of my life. Never ever used the string bags.
Where can I find this cleats
I had the confederation cup predators original and they got stolen..till this day I'm still trying to find a new pair but Adidas doesn't make anymore
What are these socks with the heel protection? I would have needed those 20 years ago, was not able to wear soccer boots back in the day cause I would always get terrible blisters :(.
There's no heel protection. The heel is simply a different color.
Oh...well, then it SHOULD be a heel protection! :)
If you get blisters your boots are too tight go up half a size
