Today, joining a game-changing line up of iconic silhouettes, adidas introduces the latest member of the Predator franchise – Predator 24. A nod to the boot that started it all three decades ago – it unites pure 90s nostalgia with the relentless performance of today to create a boot for a whole new generation of goalscorers.
The inspiration of the founding boot is clear, as it blends the aesthetic DNA of the Predator Original with the lightweight design capabilities seen in Predstrike and Predator 30. It carries the famed black, white and red colourway but made bolder in hue, and completed by vibrant yellow taping to proudly declare its place as its own boot, in its own right.
Bonded by this beautifully simplistic design, the silhouette comes in three executions which offer a combination of design features to suit various pricepoints – laced, laceless and a classic laced variant with a fold over tongue for those looking for a pure look of nostalgia.
While the individual boots have evolved, shape-shifting with each generation that wears them – unwavering in the Predator legacy, its core DNA of bold, confident aesthetics, technical superiority.
Key design features include:
- CONTROLFRAME 2.0 lightweight soleplate and heel construction optimize traction for dynamic movement and stability when striking the ball.
- HYBRIDTOUCH 2.0 upper provides a moulded fit with cushioning in key contact areas for comfort and a soft touch on the ball.
- STRIKESKIN rubber fins are strategically placed in strike zones, to support ball grip for precision shot-making.
- STRETCHABLE LACELESS PRIMEKNITCOLLAR – allows for easy entry and secure lockdown.
- LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN – with the game getting faster, and responsiveness to in-match moments ever important, Predator 24 joins the limited release Predstrike as the lightest boot in the franchise to date. Specifically, the Laceless Elite version that weighs just 195g in size 8.5.
Predator 24 will be worn by some of the best players in the sport, including the likes of Jude Bellingham, Pedri, Alessia Russo, Kaddidiatu Diani, Gabriel Jesus and many more.
