The new gen predators respond more like a speed boot, I love how lightweight they are while still retaining the Predator DNA. Since this is the league variant, the midfoot might feel less snug depending on the width of your foot. I highly recommend doing a runners knot and with the fold over tongue in place you'll love the locked in feeling. Breaking in took me two sessions so give it 45 mins to an hour. Responsiveness on the ball is good, makes me wonder how good the pro or elite variant may be. Picked these up on sale and I'd say you're getting way more bang for your buck plus the classic black and red colorway gives it that retro modern feel. It's more pink than red to be fair. 12/10 for me!
