Adidas Drop Exclusive Predator In Collaboration With The Football Gal

Adidas continue to push the conversation between football and artistry with a brand-new drop. This time, the Three Stripes have teamed up with The Football Gal for an exclusive Predator that blends heritage, craft, and cultural expression for one of the most iconic silhouettes in the game.

Stop what you are doing. Adidas have just dropped one of the boots of the year. In collaboration with Diana Al Shammari, the legendary Predator silo sees a one-of-a-kind design, using The Football Gal’s unmistakeable looks. This launch is nothing short of beauty. Where the Predator has always been about power and precision, Diana adds something softer to this silo. A human touch. The design reimagines the classic Pred design through her signature embroidery style, turning the silo into a canvas for a pure work of art.

Visually, this boot is showstopper. The upper is dressed in a clean white suit, with those unmistakeable adidas stripes braking through in waves of soft pink and red. Hand-embroidered florals, inspired by the deep-rooted Spanish flower of carnations, bloom across the upper through blue and crimson threads. Every detail hits with precision. And the eye catcher of the piece – the stitched floral design that swirls across the iconic Predator tongue. Stunning.

Zoom in and you’ll catch the small stuff, the kind of details that make this collab feel personal. The Football Gal’s hand scripted touch is printed on the heel, whilst the instep is dressed another floral design. Then enters the soleplate, and it is just as gorgeous. Beneath it all, a translucent soleplate reveals an elegant floral underlay. A reminder that beauty sits beneath the surface.

A beauty like this almost seems to precious to hit the pitch, but a select few will be donning these in the upcoming weeks. Spanish ballers Pau Cubarsí and María León will be lacing up these Predators, closely followed by Jules Kounde, Bonmatí, and Alessia Russo. The pitch is about to see some new decoration. 

We’ve seen plenty of Predator drops this year, but this takes top spot. This isn’t just another colourway of an icon; it’s completely reframing what football aesthetics can be. Adidas and The Football Gal are speaking to creativity, individuality and self-expression.
