Three Elite Models to Suit Every Player

The elite range consists of three distinct variants: a version with a fold-over tongue (FT), a laced version (L), and a laceless version (LL). This allows each player to choose the fit and feel that best matches their preferences.

Key Features of the New Predator

Hybridtouch 2.0 Upper

The upper has been completely redesigned. Already seen on players like Jude Bellingham, the boot now uses Hybridtouch 2.0 material—an evolution of the previous generation. The surface feels like suede or matte neoprene, replicating the comfort of natural leather.

ControlFrame 2.0 Sole

A new soleplate called ControlFrame 2.0 replaces the previous split design. It delivers a slightly narrower fit for improved foot-to-boot adjustment, increases heel support with an external heel counter, and features triad studs for enhanced traction.

StrikeSkin Grip Technology

The signature Predator element has also been upgraded. The new StrikeSkin provides extra grip for passes, shots, and ball control, evoking the feel of the golden era of adidas Predator boots.

Fold-Over Tongue (FT Elite Only)

Only the FT Elite model includes a tongue. Beyond its nostalgic appeal, it offers string coverage and channels the classic look associated with players like David Beckham.
