Zidane tests the Predator X

adidas has been producing the Predator for the past 17 years and with this version, the tenth in the series, they have created what they describe as “the most powerful football boot in the world.”

At its heart is the ability to maximise power, swerve and control. To achieve that this time round, adidas has created some bespoke technology for the football boot with the help of one of the greatest players ever to grace the game, Zinedine Zidane.

Speaking about the Predator_X, the former world player of the year said:

 Having worn Predators throughout my career, I’ve always been amazed with the continued product development and what each new version of the boot bought to my game.

With Predator_X, I’ve been working with adidas to help lend my football experience to their product knowledge to truly deliver the next step in boot technology. Read more..
