CARSON, Calif. – In Honor of David Beckham’s 41st birthday, Adidas re-released the Predator Mania boots that Becks famously wore at the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
The champagne-colored boots with bright red tongue became an instant classic and the most famous edition of Predators ever released. Over 19 years, Adidas has released 12 editions of the Predator boot.
The boot is getting a re-release as part of a “Champagne Pack" which includes the ACE 17+, X 16+, COPA and UltraBOOST models.
“The Predator was a one-of-a-kind. It was a boot that was radically different than anything else available, but was therefore polarizing as a consequence,” adidas’ Nathan Thompson said to MLSsoccer.
