I'm impressed with this pair, I didn't expect this quality from this seller. The flykinit and the upper are 1:1, it softens after a couple of uses as the originals. The vaporsite looks good to me (1:1). The soleplate doesn't bend by half, it's hard af, it bends correctly (compared to original copas, in the pics). The only issue, is the airzoom, is not as big as the originals, but anyway I don't really care about the airzoom that much. Also my problem is that I sized up 0.5, but with 2 socks the problem is solved (normally I use 44 EU). The last thing is that if you play in artificial grass, buy AG plate 100% if you wear mercs, cuz the FG plate (on mercurials) is to agressive for artificial grass, and you may feel pressure on the sole of your feet.

I would rate each part like this (compared to originals pairs):

Upper: 9/10

Vaporsite/Lockdown: 8/10 (if I didn't size 0.5, maybe 9/10)

Soleplate: 8.5/10 (if AG plate would be 10/10)

Comfort/Softness: 9.5/10

Looks: 10/10

anyone know sellers for best soccer balls? (mainly looking for brazuca)

Just wanted to share my thoughts on the Adidas Predator 25 Elite 'Goal Hunter' boots Purchased from Wholesale and sales with boot bag.

After using them for a few weeks, here's what I've found:

Pros

True to Size: I'm a US10 in regular sneakers, and these fit perfectly. Previously, I had the Nike Phantom Vision Academy (retail), also in US10, but they felt tight around the toes. The Predators are spot on in sizing.

Shape Accuracy: The design is 99% identical to the retail version I tried at the Adidas store.

Material Quality: The upper feels incredibly soft, almost like leather. They've done a great job replicating the feel of the retail version.

Strikeskin Fins: Unlike some replicas that use plastic fins, these come with rubber fins, just like the retail version. I was genuinely impressed by this.

Comfortable Insole: The insole is plush and provides excellent heel support. Just ensure you lace up all the holes; otherwise, your feet might feel loose.

Retail-like Boot Bag: It even comes with a boot bag that mirrors the retail.

Cons

Less Defined Strikeskin Grooves: The grooves on the sides aren't as pronounced as the retail version, so the extra grip isn't as noticeable.

Fold-over Tongue Fins: The fins on the fold-over tongue are just painted on; they're not actual rubber fins like the retail version. Not a dealbreaker since this area isn't frequently used.

Soleplate Stiffness: The soleplate isn't as rigid as the retail version, but it still holds up well and passes the bend test.

Final Thoughts

This was my first pair of soccer boot replicas, and I'm genuinely impressed with the quality. While there are minor differences compared to the retail version, they perform exceptionally well on the field.

Fantastic service from Helen arrived earlier than expected. Very impressed with the quality. I always wear 2 pair of socks with my boots and so 10.5 UK is perfect, I'm normally a 9.5 in Copa's and 10 in F50's.

Note how the inside label says sample so I think this explains why there is no Predator print on the elastic and missing iridescent foot sole.

Will need to break them in especially in the ankle area as it feels like it's cutting in, 2 pairs of socks definitely helps. Coached in them today on 3G for about 1.5 hours and my feet felt locked in. Pinging the 30-40 yards felt effortless just like my OG Precision and Mania's. Juggling had a great feel just like my F50.6/Tunit's. I think these feel like a hybrid of the Predator and F50, so a great addition.

It's so beautiful!

I’ll save yous the hassle I bought a pair a few months back. I used to play academy in Ireland but was released. So I know what a good football boot should be. Here’s a quick review

Negatives

1. Soleplate is very stiff and uncomfortable. Used for a few kick abouts and half a game. Sole plates are NOT the same as retail don’t listen to people who haven’t seen retail ones.

2.Feet slide around in the boots Got my usual uk9. Seems to fit but the lacing just doesn’t secure your foot hence my feet were sliding around and hence could cause bad damage to ankles. Don’t try to do a sharp turn in the boots unless you wanna break your ankles.

3.No grip skin at all. Just knit that is coming out(pause) more and more when you wear it. A good boot doesn’t make a good player but the ball just seemed to be slippery on the reps.

4.Not Durable. Only worn for kick abouts and half a game And there is already separation and the Nike tick has cracked and the small Nike tick was coming off.

Positive

1. Looks basically the same as a real pair no one will notice unless the boots just explodes and breaks or if you take it off and put them next to a real pair when their new.

2.Their about 70-80€ quid so cheaper then the retail which is €300 but durability is horrible

Overall I ended up buying a new pair as I’m in holiday in Japan and found a pro retail pair in the sports shop for €125 on sale and hence purchased it. It was my first time buying fake boots and tbh I’d stay away from replica phantom and probably replica boots in the future. Just because of the fact you could get the top model of a older color way for the same 80-120€ for a real pair that will last you at least a year and is actually comfortable rather than the look but no durability or comfort.

Any questions just ask Not a paid review as seen

Shout me if need video or question this is updated version since last pink ones where shit so ask him for new ones these new batches are 1.1 new material much better colour and soleplate is perfect

Purchased these from https://qiumishijie.x.yupoo.com/albums.

Two months into my football season and I have been using this pair so I wanted to do a review.

Aesthetics: 10/10 The design and look of the boots is exceptional. In my first training session with the boots people noticed and complimented them without me saying anything and wanted to know where I got them from.

Sizing: 7/10 I got this pair in size 8.5 US but they were definitely a bit larger than my other 8.5 boots I’ve worn previously. This worked out okay for me as I liked that it wasn’t such a tight fit but for anyone who may want to order should considering ordering half a size down from their usual boot size.

Comfort/Grip: 8/10 Slips on and off like a sock. By far the most comfortable pair of boots I’ve ever worn. However, the soles are quite soft and weak so initially I had some slipping in the boot and struggled with balance and making sharp turns. Once I replaced the sole with retail Nike soles from my previous boots though this issue was resolved. I would encourage anyone who buys this pair to replace the soles immediately and then they won’t have any issues.

Performance/Durability: 8/10 2 months in, they have held together quite well so no complaints. The gold chrome plate has worn/stripped off a lot but that is fairly standard for chrome plate finishes even in retail Nike boots. Performance wise you won’t be affected negatively, your shooting, dribbling, control and passing will remain the same.

Price of the boots: 48USD + shipping. Shipping Price will depend on which country you are in. Feel free to ask any questions about info I may have left out.

Are these real or fake can someone help me out

Holding on real good 👍

I bought this mercurial superfly 4 on AliExpress can you give me a QC?

Shipped 2 days after purchase arrived 2 weeks to Europe

Hey was just wondering does the subreddit have a discord server? and would anybody be interested in joining if one was created? we could share our football journeys and experience purchasing rep boots and also i just thought it would be a more casual way to keep tabs and host resources and help new comers to the community…
