As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of a crucial influence in the world of football boots, adidas graces us with a special treat—a limited edition reimagining of the OG Predator from 1994. Whilst we've been dunking our hearts into the innovative Predator 24 this year, we can't brush aside the fact that 2024 also marks a significant 30-year milestone since the first-ever Predator made its grand entrance onto the football field, shaking the game to its core.
The 30th anniversary didn't go unnoticed, with adidas commemorating it with the exclusive Predator 30, arriving fashionably late in the year, but rightfully serving up the next generation of the franchise in a splendorous, majestic style. While the reintroduction of the fold-over tongue in the current model certainly tugged at our heartstrings, reminiscing a certain generation, adidas has now amplified the beat, launching a futuristic take on the legendary original Predator from 1994.
This revamped Predator 94, embedded with the freshest of Predator technology and meticulously designed for goals, flaunts an aesthetic that replicates the original, rendering it an absolute "must-have" for all collectors. In contrast to the newer iterations of the Predator, the standout feature in this icon revival is the presence of larger, amplified SLR rubber ridges in the strike zone. This design aspect, thoroughly inspired by the original, is adaptively fashioned for the contemporary boot.
Bedecked in the classic and powerful black, red, and white color scheme, along with the original Predator three-stripe execution cascading down its sides, this boot effortlessly maintains its iconic status. Giving a glance to the FUSIONSKIN leather upper, it brings into immediate view the familiar reptilian skin finish, a distinctive trait we admired in the Predator 30. As you rest upon the black canvas, it morphs into a modern marvel with the CONTROLFRAME 2.0 Outsole.
Designed to perfection, these gems can easily lace up for a heart-thumping match, if that's the kind of thrill you're chasing. Though, between us, they're sure to make an elegant piece for your mantelpiece... Aesthetics truly meet functionality in this limited-edition offering with the Predator 94. To make it yours, mark the date in your calendar—they roll onto the scene on 2 May. Keep in the loop, sign up to our Newsletter for more.
