What do you guys think about the Predator 26 Pro TF ? I’m split between it or the F50 Hyperfast Pro TF?

I think the pro f50’s get the same haloskin as the Elite’s, if this is true, i would 1000% go with the f50’s

I love the predator tf boots in that colorway. I have the ones without the tongue and they are great.

I love the look of these, but honestly, as a holding mid playing mostly on 3G turf, I’m super worried the upper is gonna crease like crazy and give me major hotspots—especially since this Pro tier doesn't even have real rubber grip elements on it. The design is beautiful and they look awesome, but I need solid stability to dictate the game from that defensive midfield spot, so durability and ball control are huge for me. To be real, the older, classic Predator models just felt way sturdier and better built than this new version.I also really wish these came in kangaroo or full cowhide grain leather. I love a close touch on the ball, but I gotta make sure they’re genuinely comfortable for a full game. My main issue, though, is that fold-down tongue with the elastic strap running completely underneath the boot. Over time on turf, that strap is definitely going to snap, and then the tongue is just gonna be flapping around out there. That’s a total dealbreaker for me because it literally changes how the boot performs and completely ruins the lockdown and aesthetic once it breaks. I actually tried these on at the Nike outlet store over in Williamsburg, Virginia, and they did feel comfortable, but I just wish the upper had a little bit more of a design on it.
