This is it, the one we’ve all been waiting for – adidas reveals the latest addition to its limited collection roster with the ‘Predator Moments’ pack, which arrives in the classic Predator DNA colourway of black, white and red. But that’s just scratching the surface…
For the last 12+ months, adidas have been smashing the boot scene with the Predator, which celebrated its 30-year anniversary in the best way possible, with some throw back aesthetics and that returning fold-over tongue wrapping up the cutting edge tech that ensured it was relevant on the feet of the most elite professionals. But despite 17 amazing colourways, it still felt like there was something missing – there was no classic black, white red look. Well now that’s put emphatically right with Predator Moments, a boot that adidas teased back in January.
Aside from that classic colourway, the design sees the original Predator logo adorning the side of the boot – those iconic eyes back in place – while the famous ‘100% legal, 0% fair’ tagline features on the soleplate. Underneath the classic red tongue includes tributes to iconic goals from the careers of David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane. The right boot features a 93’ timestamp and infamous “raised the roof here with a goal” commentary of Beckham’s free-kick to send England to the FIFA World Cup and the nation into raptures, while the left boot includes a 45’ timestamp and ‘GOL GOL GOL’ commentary from Zidane’s ridiculous volley for Real Madrid in the 2002 UEFA Champions League final.
Tribute is also paid to both goals with a special graphic depicting the action on the insole of each respective boot. Heck, even the box of these boots is super-special, carrying the same callouts to the two kings of Predator history.
Dropping as part of the latest Predator 25 lineup, Predator Moments boasts performance-driven updates. The refined STRIKESKIN tech takes grip to the next level, with more and longer rubber elements strategically placed in the strike zone for enhanced connection. HYBRIDTOUCH 2.0 returns for an improved fit, now with fewer layers to cut break-in time while offering a moulded feel, added cushioning, and that silky soft touch needed to dictate the game.
A boot built for and by the biggest occasions, Predator Moments will be laced up by some of the game’s finest, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Pedri, Alessia Russo, and more.
Zinedine Zidane, said: “I really do believe that Predators played a part in scoring that goal. I wore them all through my career and they helped me score that goal; it was a partnership. They chose me, but I’m the one who wore them. I did some amazing things in them. I feel very lucky to have worn this boot for so many years.”
