The Adidas Predator, one of the most iconic football boots in the game. Worn by true legends, Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, Xavi Hernandez. But before it became popular it was regarded as controversial.
This is the story of how an Australian footballer had an idea, stuck some rubber to an old boot, and convinced one of the biggest sportswear brands in the world to make his boot.

I got those boots at 11-12 years old in the mid 90´s. Had a couple of mates with me and we took them to the local ground, I put em on and for the first time was able to kick a goal kick across the halfline circle! It was also the first time that i could kick hard enough on a freekick to make the ball whistle in the air! I was so damn proud, and loved those boots untill i wore em out.

I'd say its between Mercurials and Predators as the most iconic boots. From the first boots till now the Mercurials are still great boots. As for the predators, Adidas discontinued them for a few years then bought them back but made them worse but so many legendary players wore them like Zidane, Beckham, Gerrard, Del Piero and so many more to name. Tiempos and Copas are up there too. T90s had a few good years aswell.

The World Cup and CL were hotly contested, there wasn't such a gap between the top teams and the also-rans and there was a broader range of strong teams. Talent wasn't concentrated in a few rich sides. And footballers still had an aura since there were no social media for us to witness the stupidity of many of them. The 2006-07 season where Milan won the Champions League is possibly the last one I truly enjoyed.

Parents with money mostly brought Addidas or Puma shoes for their kids but there were millions of brands for progressively lower incom families and by the end of the 90s and early 2000s most of these branda had vanished. Even today I still somehow don't get used to how outlandish some of these Addidas shoes look compared to what we wore when I was a kid.

I worked in adidas football design team for 3 1/2 years and I’m sorry but you’re wrong; Johnstone developed the first iteration with adidas for the ‘94 edition which if you look in the ribs actually has his name in the grip element. The intention was to create a boot with an increased striking zone to add power to shots by increasing the size of the sweet spot of the contact between the foot and the ball which is why the lateral and medial zones are raised so to make a flat on top of the foot surface. There is a documentary that is on KZfaq that has Johnstone speaking about the creation process which we would share in the team.

Nike upped the game with these balls by introducing new materials that allowed them to travel faster, curve with greater intensity, and then that trademark cristiano 'knuckle' ball effect.

@brunogiegerich6496 Жыл бұрын

Big question that the video didn't address is: whatever happened to Predators? Over the years, the amount of plastic that they stuck on got progressively more subtle; by 2000-2002 the absolutely gorgeous kangaroo leather ones only had a very small amount on...then as far as I know it all stopped. Why..? Did players become ashamed to wear them..? Did they perhaps negatively affect the boot in some way e.g. add too much weight, or hinder the control of top players..? Boots did become extremely light from around 2002 onwards... the utter classic Nike Ronaldo 9s of 1998 were featherwieght in comparison, starting a new trend perhaps. Still: why do Adidas still make the extremely heavy Copa Mundial/World Cups, but not the Predators..? I imagine there'd be a huge market for the brutalist mid-90s original, and also the beautiful kankaroo leather ones.

TBH, I've never worn Preds, probably because I had that negative association with them...I never wanted to "cheat." (I went to an all-guys Jesuit school, so I'm not kidding!). I've worn Umbro, Lanzera, Puma...but the second I put on the Copas (Mundial) I was hooked and never went back. The feel, the weight, the stretch...you had to buy them a 1/2 size too small because they would stretch and form a glove around your foot, so the first few practices were always a pain... The debate about whether you got Australians or the Argentines(?) and which leather was better...the smell of lathering them up with Chelsea Leather Food the night before and the morning of the game...ahh, screw the Preds, Copas forever!!!
