predator hard grounds

Hitman · Jan 26, 2003

I have been wwaring the Nike hard grounds for the last few years because the rec fields around Dallas are like parking lots..

I see that you can get the new Preds in a HG sole now too.

has anyone tried them and compared them to the Nike HG?

Also is there a big difference in the feel and wearability between the the Manias and Manics?

thanks!

Manic=less stretch on the boot, more durability (calf leather)
Mania=better fit, less durability (kangaroo leather)

i have also noticed that there seems to be a difference in the soles between the two.. on teh manias it is a two piece system and on the manics a one piece system..

can you tell me how this effects the boot?

also, anyone try these adidas hard grounds?

thanks!

The 2 piece system should allow more flexibility in the boot and foot. It should also be lighter than the 1 piece...
