adidas Launch Predator Sapphire Edge

After weeks of teasers from Jude Bellingham, the 18th generation of adidas Predator has finally arrived giving us a hands-on look at the newest edition of one of the most iconic silos in football. 

The Predator has always been and will always be the ultimate control boot. Its for players who dictate the game, hence why Jude Bellingham is the man to debut the boot. A box-to-box midfielder who controls the tempo and pushes the game forward, what Predator is all about. 

The boot has 3 key new features; the all-new Zone Skin, Facet Frame outsole and Facet Fit upper. 

The Zone-Skin replaces the demon skin which was introduced for the Predator Mutator. The Zone-skin is more engineered & purposeful then demonskin, the zone skin wraps around the boot and works together give the player complete control, letting them do exactly what they want to the ball.  

The facet frame outsole redistributes weight to allow for the optimum strike of the ball & Facet fit upper gives players the most comfortable fitting predator yet. 

Key to the engineering of this boot was the female game, its the most technical boot adidas have produced, built for the more technical female game for players like Wendie Renard.
