Some TV adverts for the greatest boots ever made: The adidas Predators. Featuring David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, Oliver Khan and many more!

Would you believe that adidas filmed television adverts for the Predators, and one specifically for the Manias? I didn’t have a clue until I was browsing the web for more information on the Predators.

In this blog, I have included some TV adverts that were broadcasted ‘back in the day’.

The first video below is a commercial for the 1st Predator boots, named ‘Cup’, that was released by adidas in 1994.
Prepare yourself…

In this second video, which is my favourite of the list, shows a young Rui Costa scrubbing his 1995 adidas Predator Rapier boots.
I find this video inspiring to youngsters wishing to chase their dream as a professional footballer, and Rui Costa certainly fulfilled his dream.

Here’s a video of Paul ‘Gazza’ Gascoigne performing in a rather bizarre commercial for the 1996 Predator ‘Touch’ boots..

The adidas Predator Mania advert / commercial, which was released in 2002. It also seems a little more relevant than the previous video.

A commercial for the adidas Predator Pulse, that shows some history on the Predator collection, as well as some extra features that adidas have added/improved.
The improvements mentioned are ‘PowerPulse’; extra padding on the outside front area of the boot, X Traxion and a External Heel Counter,  This video was released in 2003.

And the last commercial video I could find is the Predator X, which again, features a few ex professionals which require no introduction. This advert was released in 2009.

So there you have it, a few commercials on the adidas Predator boots.
