adidas Predator Freak .3 Firm Ground Soccer Shoe Mens

Product Information

The .3 uses a less premium textile mesh coated with silicone compared to the Primeknit material of the top-end model. The soleplate is also made to be a single plastic piece, designed with the looks of the Controlframe's split stud build. Also the grip element is changed from the Demonskin rubber spikes to Demonscale graphic print. How does the Demonscale differ from the Demonskin?

First, the Demonskin rubber spikes are replaced by the strategically-positioned Zoneskin ridges. Second, the collar’s height has been reduced and a slit is added on the front to make it easy to stretch the opening and insert the foot. Lastly, the new Facetframe outsole is still split-soled but features less cut-outs, a more straight-forward triangular stud configuration, and a weighted ‘Power Facet’ toe box piece meant to shift the weight towards the front when striking the ball. The upper is still Primeknit-based, but the fit and feel have changed because of the reengineering mentioned above.
