Predator Boots
Launched in 1994, German manufacturers adidas have produced a new model at least every two years since to coincide with the FIFA World Cup and European Championships. Predators offer increased power, accuracy and swerve when the ball is hit with the sweetspot.
adidas Predators
A giant leap forward was made in the production of football boots with the adidas Predators, which were designed by former professional Australian Craig Johnston, a League Championship, League Cup, FA Cup and European Cup winner with Liverpool. Boots now feature scientifically aided designs and features such as sweet spots, rubber blades on the sole rather than studs, air pockets in the soles and weighting at the front of the boot for more power.
However, the Predator range isn’t made up of boots just for practicality, like during early football; also, it isn’t made for fashion purpose like many of todays modern footwear accessories. The Predator range was the first ‘technological’ boot that emphasised the quality of its’ design, and has used many different marketing strategies in order to get the point across. The sheer amount of boots produced:
