While giving you a preview about the much-anticipated release of the cleats a week ago, SER now has the official information from Adidas on their new boot, the Adidas Predator X.
This is the tenth incarnation of Adidas’ game changing Predator. The Predator X was created for the leaders on the field; powerful players like Gerrard, Van Persie and Beckham. Every single element is designed to improve performance.
Spec:
Adidas has developed a revolutionary new upper material called Taurus. It’s a full-grain calf leather that combines unsurpassed softness with a light weight, durability and weatherproof features. It’s a high-end supreme touch performance leather that is also extremely durable.
Optifit construction reduces the material between the ball and foot to an absolute minimum for a snug and almost barefoot feeling. Optifit involves a new last, Traxion, Thermoform, a medial 3-D design and mono-tongue. The new last has a more sculpted arch and more volume in the forefoot.
Thermoform window on the side of the boot holds heat moldable foam that follows the shape of the last for a snug, comfortable fit, eliminating any unnecessary gaps or materials.
Redesigned Predator completely covers the strike zone with a rubber-silicon mix. Placed in an optimized position, this soft compound provides the ultimate swerve, control and accuracy in any condition through an increased contact time with the ball and incredible friction on the ball.
The newly developed internal chassis contains a revolutionary Powerspine that minimizes energy loss and maximizes power. The Powerspine redirects power directly into the ball while offering important metatarsal protection.
Asymmetrical loop lacing for a larger, cleaner kicking surface with innovative taper lace design which further reduces material between the ball and your foot.
Dual compound Xternal heel counter is smaller but extremely strong and reduces pressure on the Achilles tendon.
An EVA heel pad cemented onto the chassis ensures premium cushioning on hard surfaces.
