How does great become greater?

Well, with the new highly anticipated Predator X, adidas has taken its most successful football boot and aimed to add to its legacy.

Were they successful in doing so? We’ll let you be the judge of that.

One thing is for certain, adidas has successfully taken a boot synonymous with the game and made it uniquely its own.

For starters, the overlapping tongue that distinguished the old version is gone, with the X more resembling the adiPure model.

The X is all about power, and there are a couple additives that make it a more durable shoe. A new upper material called ‘Taurus’ is a supreme touch performance leather that provides it with a high-end feel.

To add more power to striking adidas has developed a new internal chassis construction called Powerspine Technology to ensure more power is channeled behind every shot.

Zinedine Zidane was said to have helped develop the boot’s technology and direction

Now available for preorder, the X can be found in the classic black/red/white colourway with a white/yellow/black version available as well.
