The 30th anniversary celebrations of the adidas Predator continue with the introduction of the adidas x David Beckham limited edition Originals Predator 24, which was designed in collaboration with the former England captain.
2024 feels like it has been one long Predator party, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the iconic franchise with stunner after stunner of colourway updates. And the latest drop is no different, with one of the lines most iconic wearers stepping up to put his stamp on the Predator 24. Yep, David Beckham and Predator go together like Messi and Balon d’Or’s, and now the former England captain and global superstar gets to put his own spin on the current iteration. And of course, he breaks new ground in the process.
The boot was two years in the making, and probably the biggest point of note is that it sees – for the first time ever – the Trefoil featuring on a Predator boot. The Trefoil features on key design details such as the outsole, heel tap and elastic strap, as well as being integrated into the very Three Stripe branding itself, which runs on either side of the boot in Accelerator-homaging style. The rubber elements typically found on the Predator 24 tongue have been replaced with all-Fusionskin leather and includes an embroidered Trefoil, adding a more premium feel. The reverse side of the tongue is completed with an adidas x David Beckham sign-off.
The boot is presented in a classic two-tone colourway, with a predominantly white upper alongside bold premium detailing in the adidas Originals iconic blue pantone.
The adidas x David Beckham Predator 24 will be worn on-pitch during the next round of European club competition fixtures by top players including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Paulo Dybala, Rodrigo De Paul and Éder Militão. Alessia Russo will wear the boots in her upcoming home league game on 8 November.
Accompanying the Predator 24 drop is a signature Originals apparel collection, designed in collaboration with David Beckham and inspired by iconic 70s style silhouettes. The collection pays homage to the vintage look of the era but brought up to date through contemporary and unique design hues, making it the perfect off-pitch collection for today's fashion-conscious individual.
Sam Handy, SVP of Product and Design at adidas said, "We’re always looking at how we can break new ground in the world of football, and what better way to do so than with one of our longest serving and most iconic partners? A name so synonymous with Predator, it was only right we handed over the creative reins to David to enable him to bring his vision to life through an adidas lens. This boot is a true reflection of on-pitch performance combined with luxury lifestyle, elevated to a level never seen before with a Predator boot.”
David Beckham added, “I’ve loved designing this special Predator boot and collection with adidas. It’s great to finally share what we’ve been working on with fans of the adidas Predator and Originals. For the first time ever, this Predator features the iconic trefoil – I asked the question and they said yes… and I’m so proud of how the collection has turned out. It’s fantastic to celebrate 30 years of the Predator and with that, look back at many amazing on-pitch moments for myself and so many others.”
