adidas x Gosha Rubchinskiy Predator 18+ Special Edition: Russian Colors and Purecut Laceless Technology

To mark the World Cup kick-off, adidas released a contemporary version of the Predator in collaboration with Moscow-born designer Gosha Rubchinskiy. Officially listed as the adidas Gosha Predator 18+, this limited-edition cleat combines Russian national colors (white, blue, red) with the full technical package of the latest Predator silo.

Design and Collaboration

The special edition draws on the creative vision of Gosha Rubchinskiy, a designer known for blending streetwear aesthetics with sport heritage. The colorway directly references the Russian flag, making the boot a standout piece for collectors and fans of the designer.

Performance Features

The Predator 18+ retains the high-tech construction that defines the modern Predator line.

Purecut Laceless System

The cleat uses a Purecut Laceless system, which removes traditional laces to maximize surface control and provide a clean striking area.

Forged Knit and Boost Midsole

A Forged Knit integrated midfoot structure supplies medial and lateral stability, while a full-length Boost midsole delivers energy return with every step.

Primeknit Sockfit Collar

A Primeknit Sockfit Collar ensures a supportive, comfortable fit around the ankle, helping to lock the foot in place.

Controlskin and Anatomical Upper

A layer of Controlskin provides optimal grip on the ball. The Anatomical Upper mimics the shape of the heel to further secure the foot inside the boot.
