adidas Predator Absolute Gold remake

It is true that on the Fútbol Emotion YouTube channel we have criticised adidas for the number of remakes it has been releasing in recent years. We would like to publicly apologise for such senseless statements, because if all remakes are going to be of this standard, we agree to have one a week.

To discuss these adidas Predator Absolute football boots, we must travel back to 2006. We are at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid has just tied 3-3 with Villarreal on the last day of the league season, and Zinedine Zidane is bidding farewell to his fans after announcing his retirement from professional football. 

But first, the French footballer will give us one last performance, participating with his national team in the World Cup in Germany with the aim of ending his career on a high note. For such an important event, adidas has prepared some of the most exclusive boots ever seen. The adidas football boots worn by Zidane at the time were the Predator Absolute, so the German brand prepared an exclusive edition that only the French player would wear and that would never go on sale. 

During that World Cup, Zidane played at a superlative level, putting on a display rarely seen before in a World Cup. He seemed to surpass himself with every match, reaching excellence in the quarter-final clash between France and Brazil, with Ronaldo Nazario, Ronaldinho and company. Countless dribbles, passes and even an assist put the finishing touch to a match that will be remembered as Zinedine Zidane's last great master class on the pitch. 

The great Zidane wore his exclusive adidas Predator Absolute boots throughout the World Cup in Germany. Today, these football boots are finally going on sale in the most impressive remake we have seen to date, thanks to their unique design and, above all, the significance of this particular edition.

The materials are exactly the same as in the original Predator Absolute boots. High-quality leather dyed gold and various plastics for the rest of the areas not covered by leather. But as you know, adidas changes something in all its remakes: the sole. The plate chosen this time by the German brand is not the one used in the adidas Predator Edge football boots, but rather the one used in the Freak boots, which has surprised us all. 

Collectors were fighting over for months for these boots and only a lucky few were able to get them on the Fútbol Emotion website.
