adidas Recodes A 30-Year Icon With New Predator Pack Crafted For Goals

adidas Predator 24

Joining a game-changing lineup of iconic silhouettes, adidas introduces the latest member of the Predator franchise – Predator 24.

A nod to the boot that started it all three decades ago – it unites pure 90s nostalgia with the relentless performance of today to create a boot for a whole new generation of goalscorers.

The inspiration of the founding boot is clear, as it blends the aesthetic DNA of the Predator Original with the lightweight design capabilities seen in Predstrike and Predator 30.

It carries the famed black, white and red colourway but made bolder in hue, and completed by vibrant yellow taping to proudly declare its place as its own boot, in its own right.  

Bonded by this beautifully simplistic design, the silhouette comes in three executions which offer a combination of design features to suit various price points –  laced, laceless and a classic laced variant with a fold-over tongue for those looking for a pure look of nostalgia.

THE PREDATOR 1994 WAS THE SILHOUETTE THAT STARTED IT ALL AND THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO CELEBRATE 30 YEARS OF THIS GAME-CHANGING FRANCHISE THAN TO REVISIT ITS EARLY BEGINNINGS. IT WAS DESIGNED IN A VERY DIFFERENT TIME, AND WITH DIFFERENT METHODS THAT WE DEPLOY TODAY. AND THIS BECAME OUR CREATIVE CHALLENGE. ‘IF THE PREDATOR 1994 WAS DESIGNED TODAY, FOR TODAY’S ATHLETE, WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE? THE ANSWER IS PREDATOR 24. A MODERN-DAY EXPRESSION OF PREDATOR, WITH THE SAME EYE-CATCHING DESIGN DNA THAT MADE THE ORIGINAL SO ICONIC, AND INSTANTLY RECOGNISABLE ON THE FEET OF THE GAME’S GREATEST. WE’RE INCREDIBLY EXCITED TO CONTINUE THE STORY OF THIS BELOVED BOOT AND CAN’T WAIT TO SEE PLAYERS CREATING THEIR OWN GOAL-SCORING LEGACIES, WHILE WEARING THEM.
