It's simply stunning: the boots that we saw Jude Bellingham wearing have been released in a very limited edition to commemorate the 30th anniversary of one of the most iconic designs in the history of adidas football boots.
The 2024 season is set to be explosive, and these boots are the perfect start, offering everything that nostalgic Predator fans could desire. It has a tongue, innovative features and a 'Predator element', capturing the essence of the silo's golden era. Aesthetically, the chosen colours are practically the corporate ones (red, white and black), with an added touch of burgundy to the red to make this edition stand out even more. This boot features 'accelerator' stripes on one side and striking elements that are an evolution of the 'Predator element' seen in the Predator Mania from 2002.
The upper is an evolution of the Hybridtouch 2.0 that we saw in the last adidas Predator. It has a rougher texture for more grip. The classic tongue that covers the laces is the detail we were all waiting for, and it allows us to experience those 'Predator vibes' again, which those of us who are a little older have been longing for.
The tongue has the number 30 underneath, remembering the years since the launch back in 1994, a number that we can also see as soon as we stretch the tongue down, if we want to wear the boot like one of Predator's icons David Beckham.

On the outsole we have a new plate with very stable triad studs and with the Predator logo across the entire outsole to make it clear which boot we are wearing.

This is a very limited edition of only 1994 pairs, which is numbered and comes in a special box with a box with all the previous adidas Predator boots.
