Everyone has their own favorite Adidas Predator release and there are reasons behind their choice. For me, the Predator Precision has always stood out as one of the most iconic versions in the range and even now they still hold that “true power boot with extreme attitude” feel about them. From the floppy, fold over tongue to the elongated Adidas stripes on the side of the boot, they represent an era when players wanted a heavy duty boot that worked in unison with their footwork and stood up to any challenges the game had to throw at them. The Adidas "Predator X" shoes introduced in late 2009 have the Powerspine technology, the Predator element and a host of advancements from Adidas, all intended for better performance. Adidas developed a new upper material they call Taurus leather. The Adidas Predator X football boots are the first Predator to remove the tongue, which Adidas says improves performance. They claim it reduces the material between the ball and boot to give better ball feel, and that the new boot collar gives a more secure fit. When you look at the images, it is amazing to see how much stitching Adidas placed across the K-Leather upper. When they were released, brands like Adidas were more focused on creating a heavy duty boot that would last the rigors of long seasons. On this version, the Kangaroo leather was advertised as being “very thin with high tensile strength and strong durability”. The stitching added another level of support by allowing the boot to gently stretch in specific areas while keeping the boots natural shape. Hybridtouch upper a very good choice-soft right out of the box, not out of place in today’s market, soft and pliable and moulds around your foot in a natural way; foam liner is plush, soft and nice, and offers a rich luxurious feel to the boot (not leather but kind of feels like it is) Weight – At least in today’s standards, the Accuracy is still lagging in terms of being a lightweight boot; nonetheless the new Predator is a step in the right direction compared to the Edge as far as weight is concernedIn 2014, Hungarian inventor László Oroszi won a court case against Adidas in relation to the Predator Precision range, forcing Adidas to pay royalties on that range of the boot. Powerswerve Special is a rugby version of the series. It has a wider last in the boot and rugby hybrid studs. This version of the boot was designed for FG surfaces. I also unearthed a pair of the SG configuration, which features Adidas first exchangeable Traction blades. These were the ones that you needed a small screwdriver to loosen and fasten, something that proved to be a hindrance for fans as they loosened a lot during play. It was a novel idea but it didn’t provide the results fans were expecting. The blades themselves caused controversy, with Sir Alex Ferguson pointing them out specifically as a danger for players to wear.

As a comparison, the current Predator Lethal Zones (seen in the image below in a bright green colorway) weigh in at a lightweight 8oz. Obviously, that is a pretty substantial difference but it shows how technology upgrades have advanced and the direction companies are taking with their development processes.

a b Day, Corinne (25 June 2010). "Adidas liable for patent infringement in Hungary". Lawdit Solicitors. Archived from the original on 22 April 2014 . Retrieved 5 May 2014. The Predator Precision introduced replaceable Traxion studs that were fitted by the tightening of a minute screw. These studs were available in various lengths that made the boot adjustable to ground conditions as is possible with the classic screw-in soft-ground studs. There were, however, some reliability problems, as the studs would come loose quite often, thus needing more constant maintenance than the classic screw-ins. In 2001 came a completely revised model which had a similar stripe configuration and colourway but the predator technology was revised and bore more of a resemblance to Predator Accelerators.

Adidas Discontinues Adidas Adizero, Adipure, Nitrocharge and Predator Boots on Footy Headlines, 5 May 2015 The Predator Touch was different in many ways. It featured the Traxion (trx) studs, which were rectangular and anatomically placed. Before, studs had always been round. For professional players who preferred the old studs, Adidas produced special Predators with a different outsole. According to Adidas, the Predator technology was “composed of rubber areas anatomically formed and strategically positioned to increase control, swerve and power.” Two generations of this boot were produced: The '98 version can be distinguished by two red patches on the heel, whereas the '99 version does not have these red patches on the heel.Scientific tests have shown [ citation needed] that, in comparison to its predecessor, the Predator PowerSwerve can achieve up to eight percent more swerve and increase the power behind every shot by around three percent. The Dynamic PowerPulse technology in the sole of the boot and the special hi-tech foam in the forefoot upper material make these improvements possible. [13] The PowerPulse element filled with tungsten powder, which shifts weight toward the point of impact, enables players to put more power behind every shot. [14]
