Today, adidas unveils the all-new Predator ‘Finishers Steel’, the latest innovation in football’s most iconic boot franchise.
Designed for footballers who command every moment, this new silhouette evolves the legendary Predator DNA for a generation whose game is defined by control — and for those who wear the famous red and white.
Engineered with a new lightweight construction, the Predator Elite is designed for the requirements of modern football and features the return of the iconic POWERSPINE, a lightweight full-length plate on the sole of the boot providing midfoot stability for a stronger shot.
The football boots also feature an innovative new NANOSTRIKE+ - a reimagined mesh upper combining softness, lightness, and integrated grip elements for striking precision – which contours seamlessly to the foot, delivering an instinctive fit and optimal striking precision.
The STRIKEFRAME, featuring an updated stud configuration for increased traction and rotational agility, creates ultimate goal-scoring conditions. Further design details include:
• The famous Predator FOLD-OVER TONGUE for a smooth striking surface
• BREATHABLE MESH with microfiber lining for midfoot comfort
• PRIMEKNIT COLLAR offering adaptable lockdown support
Bringing back the iconic Gunmetal colourway first used on the Predator franchise in 2003, the Predator Elite celebrates the boot’s iconic legacy while looking firmly at the future. The combination of metallic silver Three Stripes and infrared detailing evokes Predator’s unmistakable presence — a boot designed to make a statement both in performance and appearance.
Thomas Mace, VP of Design at adidas, said: “The Predator DNA is all about control. With the Predator Elite, we’ve evolved that DNA for the modern player to create a football boot that is lighter, sharper, and tuned for precision. Every element is engineered to empower players who create and finish moments that decide matches.”
The adidas Predator Elite football boots will be available from December 2nd via adidas.co.uk and select retailers worldwide and will be worn by some of the game’s biggest names like Arsenal’s own Alessia Russo and many more.
