Cleat Class - Elite
Predator
There have been many different models of the Pred over the years, some similar to one another, others wildly different. The core concept, though, has remained the same throughout the decades: the Predator allows you to strike the ball better, in every respect.
That idea goes all the way back to the original Predator. Dubbed “100% legal, 0% fair” in its initial ad campaign – a nod to the cleat’s rubber forefoot fins and the unreasonable advantages they gave for generating power and swerve – the ’94 OG Pred was a true gamechanger in cleat design and a precursor for much of the technology we see on cleats today.
From the Accelerator and Mania back in the day to the Mutator, Edge, and Accuracy of recent years, the Predator’s combination of a sturdy, supportive feel, comfortable fit, and, of course, its excellent passing and shooting capabilities, has made it a favorite with players across the globe. In short, if you want to control the game like Beckham, Zidane, Gerrard, Del Piero, Pogba, Bellingham, and many more, the Pred is the natural choice.
adidas
The 3-Stripes’ pioneering outlook has seen them remain at the forefront of cleat design ever since founder Adi Dassler first started making footwear in the 1920s.
From longstanding leather classics like the World Cup and Copa Mundial to more modern innovations like the all-conquering Predator, their cleats are always built to combine comfort and performance.
The adidas range includes the X for speed, the Predator for control, and the Copa for touch. Whichever cleat suits your style, whether you like to lace up or go laceless, you’ll find options available for every type of surface and every level of play.

Ground Type Guide
Selecting the correct sole plate for the surface you are playing on is crucial, not only for the performance and longevity of your cleats, but also to avoid the risk of injury.
Using an outsole that isn't designed specifically for the surface on which you are playing may cause premature wear and/or damage that will not be deemed as a fault of manufacture and will prevent the retailer accepting them for a refund or exchange.
Firm Ground
Cleats with Firm Ground soleplates are only to be used on natural short-grass surfaces that is firm underfoot but may be slightly wet.
Designed specifically for this playing surface, they offer acceleration, comfort and enhanced traction, dispersing stud pressure evenly across the foot.
FG soleplates are fixed (not removable) and are used worldwide; wetter countries tend to use them spring to autumn.
FG cleats are not to be used on artificial ground (AG) surfaces as the construction is not designed for the extra friction.
FG cleats used on AG surfaces will invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.
