The adidas Kids Predator Elite Tongue FG boots are built for young players who demand precision and control on the pitch.
Superior Ball Control: The HybridTouch upper combined with the Strikeskin fins means young athletes can command the ball with confidence. This translates to more accurate passes, controlled dribbling, and the ability to put significant swerve on shots and crosses. The more pronounced touch grooves further enhance responsiveness, making complex ball manipulation feel natural.
Powerful and Accurate Striking: The refined structure of the Strikeskin fins provides extra grip, allowing for cleaner, more powerful strikes with increased precision. This is crucial for scoring goals and delivering dangerous crosses. The fold-over tongue also provides a clean strike zone.
Agility and Stability on Firm Ground: The ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate with its multidirectional traction is specifically designed for firm ground surfaces. Players will experience reliable grip for quick changes in direction, explosive sprints, and stable footing during tackles and shots. The ergonomic external heel counter adds further stability.
Comfort for Extended Play: The adidas Primeknit collar and HybridTouch upper work together to provide a comfortable, adaptive fit that supports the foot without restricting movement, allowing young players to focus on their game without discomfort.

Compatibility: These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. This means natural grass pitches that are firm and dry. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or soft ground (SG) may impact performance and durability.
Care: To keep your Predator Elite Tongue FG boots in optimal condition:
After each use, gently tap off excess mud and debris.
Clean the surface using a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry with heat, as this can damage the materials.
Store boots in a cool, dry place.
Refer to the product instructions provided with your boots for any specific care recommendations.
Note: The lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot may wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic change and does not affect the performance or durability of the product.
