Adidas introduces the Chaos Vs Control pack with new F50 and Predator colourways, and the boots have already entered the FIFA World Cup 2026 knockout rounds. Ousmane Dembélé wore the new F50 as France beat Paraguay 1-0, while Jude Bellingham gave Predator the bigger debut, scoring twice in England’s 3-2 win over Mexico. Lamine Yamal and Pedri can give the pack its next chapter today as Spain faces Portugal in the Round of 16, with Yamal tied to F50 and Pedri tied to Predator.

The pack sets up a direct choice between two adidas football lines. F50 targets players who use speed to disrupt matches, while Predator suits players who rely on grip, clean contact, and command on the ball.
F50 takes the Chaos side of the pack. adidas gives the boot a white base with solar purple stripes and solar turbo accents. The model targets players who use pace to break open matches, attack space, and change a game with quick acceleration.
The F50 Elite uses a FIBERTOUCH UPPER that offers lightweight support and cushioning only where the foot needs it. SPRINTWEB adds a high-definition 3D texture for ball contact at speed. The COMPRESSIONFIT TUNNEL TONGUE locks the foot in place during multidirectional play, while SPRINTFRAME 360 supports acceleration and speed in every direction.
Predator carries the Control side. The Predator Elite Fold-Over Tongue arrives in white with solar turbo stripes and black accents. adidas gives the boot NANOSTRIKE+, a reworked mesh upper that combines softness, lightness, and integrated grip elements. The construction supports clean ball contact and helps players generate accuracy during passes and shots.
The Fold-Over Tongue gives Predator one of its most recognisable features and creates a larger contact surface. STRIKEFRAME helps traction and rotational agility, while POWERSPINE adds midfoot stability for stronger strikes. These details shape Predator around players who guide play under pressure and turn one touch into a decisive action.
The pack also includes updated colourways for the F50 Sparkfusion and Copa franchises, extending the same design direction into additional adidas performance lines.
The F50 Elite costs €270, while the Predator Elite Fold-Over Tongue costs €280. adidas will release both boots on July 8 at selected retail stores and online at adidas.com.
