After the extended launch of the adidas Predator Lethal Zones one zone at a time, adidas unveiled the boot in its full glory in the launch/Euro 2012 Blue/Infrared colorway, and it’s now been joined by the David Beckham colorway. Behold the new adidas Predator LZ DB, the latest in the most successful boot range in history! Check out our review of the adidas Predator LZ and the Predator LZ SL!
Designed with five distinctive ‘lethal zones’ to deliver performance, the new Adidas Predator LZ was developed in conjunction with world-class players such as Van Persie (Arsenal FC), Xavi (FC Barcelona), Nasri (Manchester City FC), Nani (Manchester United FC) and Di Maria (FC Real Madrid), who tested and contributed valuable input to the development of the Predator LZ.
A newly engineered super-soft upper combines the benefits of leather and synthetic. This type of upper allows the Predator to weigh in at mere 225 grams whilst maintaining the fit and touch of a traditional leather. The upper integrates five zones of SL rubber technology for perfect ball control. The deadliest tool set ever fitted to a boot.
The ‘Drive’ zone creates a rebound effect for greater distance and power while the ‘Sweet Sport’ zone generates greater spin and pace. The ‘First Touch’ zone on the forefoot area give immediate ball contact. On the instep of the boot is the pass zone with memory foam and sticky print, designed to increases ball contact time for more precise passing. The ‘Dribble’ zone allows for a large number of quick ball contacts, spaced out to ensure optimum grip.
The outsole has a Sprintframe construction which uses geometrical learnings and offers the perfect balance between lightweight and stability. These Predators provide maximum grip and optimum pressure distribution on firm ground surfaces, thanks to the unique adidas TRAXION™ 2.0 FG stud configuration.
The Predator Lethal Zones joins the AdiZero and AdiPure 11Pro in offering miCoach support and is the first miCoach enabled Predator boot. Players can now track their performance stats such as distance, sprint count and maximum speed, then wirelessly transfer the data to a mobile phone or PC.
David Beckham gave the adidas Predator LZ DB a debut to remember with his stunning trademark free kick against the Montreal Impact this past weekend.

About Ben Perkins
Although I don’t like any of the colorways, the fact that pros wear these preds without any customization(soleplate,upper material etc) means that they should be really good boots.
fyi, van persie use pred x soleplate
1 player out of hundreds is pretty good going if you ask me!! considering how picky pro’s are with their equipment. Well done adidas!
these are sick …. along with the lz SLs
why pink…?!
I think pink has to do something with the Olympics, because the official football for Olympics is pink too.
love @ first sight
the cw isn’t my taste but nevertheless a great boot!!
OMG cant wait for these badboys!!!!!!
