As Predator marks its 30th anniversary, the new design takes inspiration from the early 2000s, delivering a fresh yet nostalgic take on one of the most beloved football boot franchises.

A Tribute to Predator’s Iconic Heritage

The design of the new Predator pack revisits the fan-favorite 2002 Predator Mania with a reimagined champagne, red, and black colorway. The familiar hues have been updated to complement a sleek, modern silhouette, providing a perfect balance between heritage and innovation.

In a nod to another Predator classic, the 1998 Predator Accelerator, the boots feature bold red lines running along the medial and lateral sides, sitting just behind the iconic three stripes. These subtle callbacks highlight the franchise's deep-rooted influence on football culture over the decades.

Tech Features

Crafted for goals, the boots feature the latest in adidas performance technology, including:

• CONTROLFRAME 2.0 - lightweight soleplate and heel construction optimize traction for dynamic movement and stability when striking the ball. 
• HYBRIDTOUCH 2.0  - a newly fine-tuned upper provides a moulded fit with cushioning in key contact areas for comfort and a soft touch on the ball. 
• STRIKESKIN - rubber fins with longer length and increased quantity, strategically placed in strike zones to support ball grip for precision shot-making.  The exact placement of the fins is inspired by the Predator Mania.
• STRETCHABLE LACELESS PRIMEKNIT COLLAR – on the laceless version of the boot, allows for easy entry and secure lockdown.

December marks the conclusion of the franchise’s 30th anniversary celebrations. 2024 has seen the return of the beloved fold over tongue, a giant leap forward in boot technology to support goal-scoring, and a series of limited-edition re-releases of classic Predators for the nostalgia junkies. 

The new Predator is on sale now in laced, laceless and foldover tongue versions,

This boot is worn by players like Jude Bellingham, Aitana Bonmatí, Pedri and Alessia Russo, and is now available to purchase online via adidas.
