When we first saw these blacked-out adidas Predator X football boots we were lost for words, they are quite simply a unique and stunning boot! Completely blacked out, these new Predator boots definitely cut a classy figure on the pitch - so check out our full and exclusive unveiling of the latest addition to the Predator family...
There was quite a gathering at the office when the parcel arrived from adidas containing these new football boots, because there's something special about blacked-out football boots, no matter what the badge on the boot is everybody loves a pair of blackouts!
There has been growing talk and speculation surrounding a potential successor to the adidas Predator X football boots but for now, adidas are still treating us to updated colour-ways of the current model. Take a look at our exclusive SoccerBible images and let us know what you make of these new Predator boots!
Adidas fans will already be recalling the recent blacked-out adiPure's and adizero's, and will have pieced together what these boots could potentially mean. Because it has become something of an adidas tradition to release a blacked-out version for when bring a particular boot incarnation to a conclusion, of course this is just speculation on our part and there has been no confirmation.
As these new Black/Black/Shale adidas Predator X football boots are a colour update, there have been no tech changes in the boot. The new Predator X boots still feature the revolutionary new upper material developed by adidas called Taurus leather. Combining full grain calf leather, for softness and excellent ball touch and feel, the material has high tearing and high abrasion qualities for a durable yet high-end performance upper.
The famous adidas Predator technology features all throughout the boot. With the redesigned Predator element completely covering the striking zone with a rubber-silicon mix, the Predator X football boots are the most advanced Predator boots yet! The textured surface and soft compound of the Predator element is placed in an optimal position, providing every shot and pass with the ultimate swerve, control and accuracy in any weather conditions.
The adidas Predator X football boots were the first Predators to remove the tongue which was a bold move from adidas to enhance performance. This new fit reduces the material between the ball and foot to give better ball feel, and the new boot collar gives a more secure fit during movement.
To help increase shot power the adidas Predator X football boots feature the Power-spine sole-plate, to minimise energy loss and maximises power. Achieved through transferring shot power directly into the ball, by preventing the feet and metatarsals from over-bending.
For us the boot range has now gone full circle, reminding us of the first time we saw the adidas Predator X in action, as it was being playtested by Real Madrid legend Raul.
Expected to be available from 1st March for around £150 GBP / $220 USD, the blacked-out adidas Predator X football boots are available to pre-order now, and we've got a feeling they're going to be popular! Now you've seen the brand new adidas Predator X colour-way, let us know your thoughts...
