Anticipation has been building, speculation spreading and expectation growing. Boot fans the world over have waited in their masses for the next generation adidas Predator. Finally the wait is over. The all new adidas adiPower Predator football boots have arrived. SoccerBible is your only destination for exclusive access to adidas' 11th generation Predator, and it's like you've never seen before!
The adidas Predator has engraved itself in footballs illustrious history and continues to set new standards with each release. Yet again, adidas have raised the bar in their fight to be top-dog in the boots market. Take a look and share your thoughts with the SoccerBible community online, on Twitter and on Facebook.
For the first time in Predator history, adidas have released a launch colourway that sits in stark contrast to the symbolic Black/White/Red. The new Blue/Electricity adidas adiPower Predator football boots show just how far the Predator range has come over their seventeen year reign. The new Blue/Electricity adiPower football boots mark the beginning of a new era for the adidas Predator.
The most iconic football boot in history has been redeveloped to meet the growing demands of the modern game. At a time where speed matters, adidas have designed the lightest and most powerful adidas Predator ever. The adidas Predator adiPower tips the scales at just 235g, 25% lighter than the adidas Predator X.
The new adiPower Predator football boots integrate the same sprint frame shoe construction used in the F50 adiZero range. The new revolutionary lightweight out-sole has been a real game-changer since its introduction to the boots market. For the new adidas Predator, the sprint frame creates a dramatic decrease in weight for the boot while providing stability through geometry.
Power merges with lightweight construction to create the lightest and most powerful Predator ever. The sprint frame out-sole combines with the famous Predator Powerspine to allow additional energy transfer directly from the foot into the ball. The flex grooves in the Powerspine ensure comfortable running movements by keeping the element highly flexible in the right direction.
The new adiPower Predator soccer shoes continue to utilise the same Taurus calf leather first introduced in the adidas Predator X. The unique Taurus material combines a natural leather look with high tearing and high abrasion qualities to offer a high-end supreme touch performance leather.
The evolution of the Predator Element continues to develop in the new adiPower Predator football boots. The all new Silicon rubber Predator Element is now split into two separate performance zones. The first zone is the 'Power Zone' which has an aggressive and structured surface, and is integrated into the adidas stripes. The 3D fins give rebound upon ball impact, generating additional striking power from the boot.
The second zone of the newly designed Predator Element is the 'Swerve Zone', recognisable with a hexagonal pattern. The even and soft surface provides a longer contact time with the ball, resulting in higher friction and ultimately higher swerve.
Above all of the changes made to the new Predator adiPower football boots, the introduction of the adidas sprint frame is the major evolutionary leap forward for the new Predator's. With less upper layers, the revolutionary outsole is 50% lighter than a standard TPU outsole and has been designed to create the entire stability across the boot.
The new adiPower Predator has been built on the same last as the F50 adiZero. Now featuring a wider fore-foot, sleeker mid-foot and wider heel, the new adiPower last means the studs can be positioned closer to the outside of the sole. This works to give the shoes greater stability whilst improving movement, traction and pressure distribution.
The release of a new Predator is always a landmark event in the boot calender. After seemingly endless months of anticipation, we're excited to give our SoccerBible community an exclusive unveiling of the new adiPower football boots. The good news doesn't stop there. The new Predator adiPower football boots will make their on-pitch debut today across Europe!
The new Blue/Electricity adidas adiPower Predator football boots will retail worldwide for around £155 GBP / $250 USD / €175 EURO, and are available to pre-order today for a 15th July release.
