adidas Originals remixes one of its most iconic silhouettes with the launch of the Predator Freestyle football boots. It takes the Predator 24 as the main base foundation and updates it with features that are borrowed from its Samba silhouette.
As a result, it is prepared for an urban environment and boasts a fusion of suede and mesh materials throughout the upper. It gets rid of the iconic wrap-around tongue seen on the original boots and features the traditional lacing system over the forefoot. It all rests on top of the lightweight Lightstrike midsole foundation with a black tonal palette throughout. It is accented with contrasting details in the form of the white Three Stripes branding, heel tab, and gum sole unit.
