The Future Of Goalscoring Is Here: adidas Predstrike
Fri, Dec 08.23


The game has changed. Adidas Predator has returned to its roots, but this time, things are even better than before. Enter a new era of goalscoring, much like Jude scoring for fun from midfield. Featuring the newly redesigned STRIKESKIN—strategically placed rubber fins in strike zones to support ball grip for precision shot-making—combined with futuristic HYBRIDTOUCH for next-level control and a soft touch on the ball.
As the Predator approaches its landmark 30th anniversary, this special edition drop showcases the latest technical innovations that will propel us into the next 30 years of Predator excellence.
Predator has always been ahead of the game, and Predstrike is no different. An essential point to note is that these boots were developed with a 50/50 gender parity in testing and have undergone a series of updates from their predecessors to meet the demands of today’s game. Here's how:
Key features in detail:
- Control Frame 2.0 - a new lightweight, full-length outsole. Evolving from its predecessor, Control Frame, the technology moves away from a two-part configuration and works in harmony with an external heel counter to keep the foot locked in position and help reduce heel slip. Creating an overall lighter frame, the components come together to optimise traction for dynamic movement stability when striking the ball.
- HybridTouch 2.0 – Hero to the updated upper is a refreshed synthetic material with a suede-like feel that replicates the adaptability of leather. It provides a moulded fit with cushioning in key contact areas for comfort and a soft touch on the ball.
- Strikeskin Technology – The hallmark of any Predator boot, Predstrike features strategically placed rubber fins in strike zones to support ball grip for precision shot-making.
Are you a fan of laceless boots? At just 195g, the new Predator Elite Laceless is the lightest Predator boot ever made. As we've mentioned – the game has changed. The Three Stripes are now cooking at a whole new temperature.
“Some products become popular, some become mainstays – and then there is Predator. Alongside the icons that have worn it – it is a key part of moments that are etched in the history books of the beautiful game. To put on a pair is to literally be in the footsteps of legends that have helped shape them.” - Sam Handy, VP of Product and Design at adidas.
