What ya reckon?
Remember the urban myth that was doing the rounds when the first Predator boot were released? The one that claimed those leather grips/ridges/indentations at the tip of the boot somehow made your shots more powerful? Yeah, that was a bit weird.
Aside from this, there was always someone who also swore blind that the Adidas Predator Mania, released in time for the 2002 World Cup, were able to give you more curve on a ball.
Mad, but what a boot those bad boys were.
Regardless of what you choose to belief, there's one thing that's a fact. Predator boots will always look better when they're black with a tinge of red.
