The Rapier Traxion was at one time the best adidas football boot going. We all know that Becks has scored a few free kicks with them when he wore them. The day i bought my predators i was so happy you would have thought it was Christmas. Yet still it dented my pocket severly. But at £90 when i bought them, i didnt care. I had a pair of predators. Now you can bid for these gems and get away with paying 15 squids and less for them. If your a good passer of the ball the Predator Rapier t's are outstanding because you can play with your curl of the ball and notice the results straight away. This is because of the positioning of the pads on the front of the boot. They allow more grip on the ball when it is kicked to increase curl and also power, and allow a better control of the ball for the same reason. The durability of the Predator is not so good, but that depends on how much you use them. For example, i was playing football five times a week for about 4 months before mine were worn out. But if you play just at weekends they will last you a long while. Definitly a great boot for accurate kicking of a ball. Advisable for anyone serious about playing football, or even to have some fun practising your curling down the park.
