Rounding off the 30th anniversary of football’s most iconic boot in the only way that seems fitting, SoccerBible and adidas present the trailer for ‘Under The Tongue’, a feature-length documentary exploring the seismic impact the Predator franchise has had on the beautiful game, both on and off the pitch.
Few boots – if any – can claim to have had the same level of impact on the game as the adidas Predator, both in a performance and cultural sense. Through constant evolution it continues to be the boot of generation after generation, performing on pitches throughout the world at the highest level of the game. Now, adidas and SoccerBible take a deep dive into the never-before-told story of football’s most iconic boot.
‘Under The Tongue’ examines how a unique blend of industry-leading innovation, culture-defining design, unrivalled star power and timing all combined to create a boot that would fundamentally change the trajectory of the football boot industry and have a transformative impact on adidas as a business.
Featuring never before heard contributions from era-defining footballers such as David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, and Eniola Aluko – as well as current stars including Jude Bellingham, Alessia Russo, Aitana Bonmatí and Trent Alexander-Arnold – the documentary is the most insightful look into what is one of the most influential and transformative boots of all time.
‘Under The Tongue’ premieres on 11 December, and will available to view from 9PM CET on the adidas football YouTube channel.
