Adidas Predator Champions League Football Boots
Tomorrow’s Champions League Final in Athens between Liverpool and AC Milan should perhaps be renamed the Adidas Final, as the German football boot maker not only sponsors both teams, but also will be supplying the match ball, the Adidas Finale Athens and the game will feature two of Adidas’ top players, Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard and Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, better known as Kaka of AC Milan. The two Adidas players are expected to play leading roles in the game, as both have had outstanding seasons so far, with Kaka heading the list for the Champions League Golden Boot award.
Kaka and Gerrard’s New Adidas Predator Football Boots
Taking advantage of the estimated global audience of over one billion people, Adidas has chosen the final to showcase the launch of it’s new football boot, the Adidas Predator Absolute in black and white, which will be known as the Adidas Predator Absolute Champions League, replacing the previous red and white colourway version. Clever thinking by the boys from Herzogenaurach, even though the release date for the new football boot is 12th July 2007, a full 7 weeks away! Both Gerrard and Kaka have been spotted in training wearing the black and white football boot with gives a tantalising clue as to the styling and performance we can expect from this new generation of Predator football boot.
Adidas +Predator Absolute Champions League Football Boots
The +Predator Absolute features PowerPulse technology which shifts the centre of gravity closer to the point of impact. For even more power simply insert the PowerPulse insoles. Want the lightest Predator ever? Then it’s a matter of moments to swap.
PowerPulse technology was developed in co-operation with the University of Calgary and delivers the sort of sweet spot science more usually found in golf clubs. Scientists found that shooting with these boots increased ball speed by 2% compared to the most recent Predator, or by 5% compared to a standard football boot.
The boot comes with two insoles, one with a specially positioned 40g weight and one without. The weight, which has been moved from other parts of the boot, sits behind the foot at the point of impact creating maximum power transfer. The interchangeable insoles allow players to customise to their needs, providing the most powerful Predator ever, or the lightest.
The radical re-design of the boot also applies to the Engineered Predator Technology (the famous rubber fins that create the power & swerve) resulting in a striking new look and snug fit.
Price: £130
Release Date: 12th July 2007.
Our Verdict: An exceptionally classy and impressive colourway and design for the new Adidas Predator Absolute which is a worthy successor to the Champions League edition and worthy of being premiered at the showcase Champions League Final. Adidas is clearly hitting back and hitting back hard following their rivals recent launches, and imperious performances by its stars Kaka and Gerrard could see the new football boot hit the stars on its launch!

wonderdul football boots colour and all round are just amazing.
I’m going back playing football again after quitting for 1 year. I will be starting again in September. I play as a defender but sometimes as a midfielder. I need a new pair of football boots and these are what I have in mind;
Adidas Predator, Reebok Sprintfit and Pro Rage, Puma V-Konstrukt and King Exec, Nike Air Legend and Total 90 Laser, Umbro X boot and finally Adidas 7406. which pair are the best?
Get Sprintfit for defence but I would recommended the Nike Legends for midfield. I have legends, Predators and have previously worn Vapors so I no what i’m talking about. And Predators are shit they are way uncomfortable and are very pricey
i assure u that umbro x boot 3 are the best i have them .
These football boots are rubbish,they are not comfortable and there is a hell of a lot of better boots on the market for similar prices.
hey will there be any at all on sale b4 the offical release date? ok doubt it , haha , but what if u pre-order it cant cum b4 ?
Dude did you try them they are great. The best shoes on the world. And they are a lot better the those rubbish T90 Laser’s , Vapors , all of the Puma‘s an so on.
the short version is: the best football boots on the world.

Does anyone know the official relaease date ? I phoned adidas and they said 16 th July however they said 14 th July 2 weeks ago , is this true as my nephew is waiting for them.
according to boot seller websites, its 12th july.
I REALLY PREFER THE PAST ONES, THE ONES THAT WERE WHITE AND BLACK WITH RED TOUNGUE AND STARS INSIDE, THE ONES THAT KAKA USED FOR 6 MONTHS.
THEY’RE AWSOME!!!
when do these football boots in the white and blue come out in jnr sizes?
I got them already and they are well worth the price. Theyre really just the same as the black and red ones.
i finally got the black silver and yellow predators and they are brilliant. they are wicked comfy and i hit wicked good free kicks these are the best colours so get these if you need new boots
Gosh, i bought this weeks bout 1 month back and the heels came off a little after wearing them for the 5th time. it’s my second pair of predator absolute but the heel problem did not happen with the first pair.. but, i still love the predators
i am currently waiting for the red white and silver boots to come in the post, can anyone tell me how they are and where are they made?
I have these Predators with the same color and they are the most comfortable boots I’ve ever had, and I have had Total 90’s, Nike Tiempos, and Mercurial Vapors, so I would say Adidas right now has the most comfortable football boot.
