Predator is football history. Since its inception in 1994, we have seen constant evolution with the aim of being at the forefront of technologies that improve ball contact. That philosophy continues with the new adidas Predator Accuracy football boots, the latest creation from the brand with the three stripes, which undoubtedly improves on its predecessor, the Predator Edge.
We will begin by discussing the upper and the material it is made of. This is Hybrid Touch, a synthetic compound that we have seen before in other boots from the German brand, and this time it will be responsible for maximising comfort for anyone who gives the new adidas Predator Accuracy football boots a try, the nineteenth generation of this silo.
But what would Predator be without its Predator Element? This is the technology that has a different name every year but always has the same objective: to maximise ball striking and increase comfort when doing so. In these new football boots, adidas calls it High Definition Grip, and it consists of two densities. Kicking Zone is the first of these and is located on the inside of the boot to improve kicking. On the other hand, we have Dribbling Zone, which is located on the outside and has a lower density, with the aim of increasing grip when dribbling the ball.
Moving on to the ankle area, we once again find Primeknit, an elastic material that Predator has been using since the silo's return in 2018 and which performs so well in football boots. This will provide greater support, as well as added comfort and ease of entry into the boot. Of course, there will be a .1 version with laces and a low-cut version, in which the Primeknit on the ankle is considerably reduced, freeing up that area.
Finally, we will discuss the only element that these adidas Predator Accuracy football boots have inherited from their predecessors. The plate is still the FACETFRAME, exactly the same as the one we had in Edge, so the brand has decided that it was not yet time to create a new sole for its flagship silo.
That's all there is to say about the technical features of the new adidas Predator Accuracy football boots, a radical change in the brand's flagship range that we will see on football pitches around the world. Now available both in stores and on the Fútbol Emotion website.
At its core, football is nothing more than 22 people, one white ball and 44 pairs of black football boots, and that is precisely what we’re here to talk about today: some of the black boots currently available which, to a greater or lesser extent, connect us with the purest essence of the sport.
