The Predator has always been Adidas's football shoe line for Accuracy, and maximum Swerve bonus you can get (Swerve as in the angle of 'swing' on the ball u can get, more swerve, your ball swings more)
Looks abit like Carbon-Fibre....^^
Famous ppl who don the Predator and kills on the field are of course, David Beckham, all times legend Zinedine 'Zizou' Zidane, Steven Gerrard, Michael Ballack, Edwin van der Sar and so on~and. Zizou has retired since the 06 World Cup but has been to Adidas as Michael Schumacher is to Ferrari, advisor and tester/reviewer personnel.
Not many may, infact, alot of people dun quite agree with the looks of this boots, it is fairly new but not as well accepted as to when the Predator Pulse or the Predator PowerSwerve came out, those boots really wow-ed me when i first saw them in the papers, but not this.......this looks somewhat...old fashion........looks old fashion but the tech in this boot is surely not old~
A brand new ‘Powerspine’ has been inspired by the revolutionary ‘fingersave’ technology thatminimises the energy lost when players strike a football through a reduction in the “kicking flex” in the forefoot area. Not getting the idea? Try this : (I never know when we play barefoot our food flexes that much....=.=)
And the new Predator X has a refined Predator element to increase swerve.
I've never used this shoes but from my previous experience with the Predator Pulse, they could really make a difference.....especially if you use a Nike Total 90 before.....the Predator always being the more advantaged size when it comes to giving out high ball or swerving a ball....but i really don't quite know bout the looks....it looks rather...boring i suppose.....while the Predator Pulse and Absolut are good, the PowerSwerve comes with too much 'edition' such as the Beckham's DB ClimaCool PowerSwerve which features tiny hole to give your leg proper ventilation as well as, a different and larger Predator Element, and there is the Rome version for the Champions League Final in Italy, the Beckham"Silver Dragon", and the Fantasy version which just makes us confuse........
The Predator X have really break away from the tradition Predator, with the lack of a tongue on the laces which is one of main trademark of the Predator series as they givs a bigger contact patch by covering up the laces, thus giving out more power and swerve to the ball, as well as giving that 'smooth' look that Becks has shown all this time. Tech wise, the looks has surely gone back to the old times........
Testing by Footy-Boots.com are that the shoes are very comfortable and very well made, could've been alittle bit lighter and alittle bit expensive but is well done with quality. Some vids featuring Gerrard
and Zizou..
