The iconic adidas Predator boot range is back strong and more stylish than ever after 12 years with new iterations Predator 18 which was launched exclusively at Football Republic, KLCC yesterday. In conjunction with the ‘Skystalker’ pack release, the new Predator 18 was revealed by adidas Malaysia football creators Izham Tarmizi, Afiq Fazail and Badhri Radzi (Piya).
The new Predator 18 models take inspiration from the old to kick it up a notch through modern tooling and innovation. The Predator 18+ features a black, red and gold colourway and includes an updated Primeknit SOCKFIT COLLAR, engineered to naturally expand to the foot’s shape while ensuring a supportive fit. The Primeknit material includes a layer of CONTROLSKIN for optimal grip in any condition alongside an ANATOMICAL UPPER which mimics the heel’s shape to provide ultimate lockdown.
A PURECUT LACELESS system ensures maximum surface control while a FORGED KNIT integrated midfoot support structure creates medial and lateral stability to support complex movements. An updated CONTROLFRAME with high performance polyamide layers is designed to stabilise movement and a new hybrid stud tip configuration amplifies rotation and traction. A full length BOOST™ midsole provides energy return with every step.
The Predator 18+ is also available as a cage shoe. It features the same SOCKFIT COLLAR construction, PURECUT LACELESS upper and CONTROLSKIN as the on-pitch boot; along with a full length BOOST™ midsole and traction studs.
Taking the shoe from the stadium to the street, the Predator is also available as a lifestyle sneaker. It features a KNITTED upper and the iconic collar shape of the cleat show, combined with full length BOOST™ tooling in the sole.
First released in 1994, the Predator range proved to be a huge success with 18 different models released in over 21 years. It became the go-to shoes for legendary football players with the likes of David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, Steven Gerrard and more. The latest Predator boot will be sported on the pitch by Mesut Ozil, Paul Pogba and Dele Alli Ivan Rakitic from today onwards.
The Predator range is available at adidas retail outlets, Football Republic KLCC and on adidas.com.my/football.
