The return of the legend: adidas unveiled the Predator 18+ One of the most iconic football boots ever returns, also available in the Street and Cage versions
There has been a moment of shared sadness when, back in 2015, adidas Football sent the Predator, legendary football boots that since 1994 has been worn by some of the most representative athletes of the Three Stripes, on retirement for good. From Zidane to Del Piero, of course stepping by the man that more than anyone is associated with the Predator - and in fact, he has been honored with a dedicated capsule - David Beckham. After putting them in the attic, adidas launched a new silo, the ACE Purecontrol, that even if it didn’t last relatively long, without warming the fans’ hearts up, let the Three Stripes experiment new solutions and technologies, that contributed to the resurrection of the legend. Because yes, the adidas Predator is back.
As we said, the new Predator 18+ features some of the technologies tested on the old ACE, like the PURECUT LACELESS system, that expands the control surface at its maximum, while the FORGED KNIT support structure creates stability to support the most complex movements. A renewed CONTROLFRAME sole has been designed to stabilize the grip, while a new type of studs configuration improves the traction on the ground. Finally, the BOOST midsole guarantees the maximum return of energy at every acceleration. The new adidas Predator 18+ will be worn by some players like Paul Pogba, Dele Alli, Ivan Rakitic and Mesut Ozil. You can already pre-order it at prodirectsoccer.com.
