The Predator features a lightweight build formed around the return of the POWERSPINE, a full-length plate that supports the midfoot and strengthens the strike. Adidas pairs it with the NANOSTRIKE+ upper, a mesh material created to deliver softness, reduced weight, and grip elements that support clear contact with the ball. The upper follows the foot closely and provides a connected feel during rapid sequences.
Adidas adds the STRIKEFRAME element to guide traction and rotation. The stud layout helps players handle tight direction changes and maintain control during quick transitions. The boot includes a fold-over tongue for a clean striking surface, breathable mesh with microfiber lining for midfoot comfort, and a PRIMEKNIT collar that supplies lockdown support at the ankle.
The new Predator arrives in a Gunmetal colorway that references a 2003 release from the line. Metallic silver Three Stripes and infrared details create a visual identity consistent with the franchise’s emphasis on sharp, assertive design choices.
Thomas Mace, VP of Design at adidas, describes control as the central idea for the Predator franchise and expresses that this model introduces a sharper and lighter construction designed for modern football. He explains that each feature supports players who create decisive moments on the pitch.
Adidas confirms that Jude Bellingham, Aitana Bonmatí, Pedri, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alessia Russo, and other top athletes will wear the new Predator in competition.
