As part of their 75th year anniversary celebration as a brand, adidas extend that celebration to football by launching the Predator Mania Pearl. This comes after the reveal of the Japan Blue remake. The Mania continues to be a popular model in the history of the silo, and so serves as the right choice for this occasion. Like the Japan Blue remake, Mania Pearl seeks to showcase the vast experience and quality of German craftsmanship. You can be assured that this Mania remake is a product of adidas’ elite boot production in their country of origin.
Acknowledging the Mania’s place in goalscoring lore of adidas football boots, Pearl colours almost every space of the upper. It’s an apt colour choice. Not only does it celebrate the anniversary occasion but also the high regard boot enthusiasts accord to the Mania. A complementing accent of a clearer shade of white, found in the stripes and other upper elements, complete the Pearl Mania.
Most importantly, this Limited Edition Mania brings back the upper experience of the Predator Model in 2024. You get that soft leather that is comfortable on-feet and dampens ball touch. The fold-over tongue is as nostalgic as ever. And then of course we have the curving ribbed Predator elements on the instep. Those help you add spin and swerve to your crosses, so you can bend it like Beckham.
adidas maintains the practise of slapping the one-to-one upper remake to a modern outsole. Which means that the modern tooling of the Predator 2024 acts as the base for Mania Pearl. With its overall translucent finish, the soleplate glistens and adds elegance to the boot’s looks. There might be some concern with the soleplate cracking, as is the main concern for the Predator 2024. Nonetheless, Predator Mania Pearl is surely a welcome limited edition for anyone longing to experience the Mania once again.
