David Beckham and adidas continue to work in collaboration and the latest is a pair of the Predator 24 football boots amongst other sporty products. The new-school silhouette is inspired by its past models and is crafted from a long design process. Beckham adds touches to the shoe and some notable elements include the classic trefoil logo, which was a non-negotiable for the athlete.
The SVP of Product and Design at adidas, Sam Handy shares "We’re always looking at how we can break new ground in the world of football, and what better way to do so than with one of our longest-serving and most iconic partners? A name so synonymous with Predator, it was only right we handed over the creative reins to David to enable him to bring his vision to life through an adidas lens.”
