Adidas x Beckham: How the Original Predator Returns with a Twist 30 Years in the Making
Imagine this: a design legacy spanning three decades, a boot that has practically etched itself into football lore. Now, thirty years in, David Beckham himself—a name as synonymous with the Predator as Messi is with the Ballon d'Or—is back to lend his signature to the franchise, breathing new life into an icon.
The adidas Originals Predator 24 is no mere reboot; it’s Beckham’s personal love letter to the game. This limited-edition release marks the first-ever appearance of the Trefoil logo on a Predator boot, making a bold design statement that speaks to the Originals’ aesthetic. Key details like the outsole and heel tab showcase the Trefoil, integrated seamlessly into the classic three-stripe branding.
Beckham and adidas kept it sophisticated: Fusionskin leather on the tongue, crafted without the usual Predator rubber elements, adds a touch of luxury, while the embroidered Trefoil elevates the design to a timeless piece of wearable art.
The boot itself—a sleek two-tone marvel in white and the iconic adidas blue—recalls the classic design language of the Originals line. Its on-pitch debut this November sees football stars Trent Alexander-Arnold, Paulo Dybala, and Alessia Russo stepping into Beckham’s creative vision, while fans gear up to don this future icon.
But it’s not just about boots. The adidas x Beckham collab arrives with a vintage-inspired Originals apparel line—a blend of 70s nostalgia and Beckham’s modern flair, a collection that seamlessly transitions from pitch to street. In Beckham’s own words, “I’ve loved designing this special Predator boot and collection with adidas. It’s great to finally share what we’ve been working on with fans of the adidas Predator and Originals. For the first time ever, this Predator features the iconic trefoil – I asked the question and they said yes… and I’m so proud of how the collection has turned out. It’s fantastic to celebrate 30 years of the Predator and with that, look back at many amazing on-pitch moments for myself and so many others.”
This is a boot and a collection that celebrates where we’ve been and sets the stage for what’s next in football fashion. The adidas Originals Predator 24 x Beckham will be available starting November 7—time to claim a piece of history.
