Featuring innovative materials like HybridTouch and Strikeskin fins, these boots are engineered to help you dominate the pitch. While built for peak performance, note that the outsole's lacquer finish may wear off cosmetically without impacting overall functionality.

The adidas Predator Elite SG boots are engineered to empower players who thrive on soft, natural pitches, especially during wet conditions. The HybridTouch upper provides a soft, adaptive feel, allowing for excellent ball manipulation during dribbling and close control. When it comes to striking the ball, the Strikeskin rubber fins truly shine, offering an almost adhesive grip that translates into greater precision and the ability to add significant swerve to shots and passes. Imagine curling a shot into the top corner or delivering a perfectly weighted through-ball – these fins provide the necessary purchase.
The ControlFrame 2.0 soft ground outsole is the foundation for stability. Its screw-in studs bite firmly into soft turf, preventing slips and allowing for explosive acceleration and sharp, confident turns. This means you can maintain your footing during quick changes of direction or when battling for possession in the midfield. The PRIMEKNIT collar ensures a secure, sock-like fit, minimizing foot movement within the boot and maximizing comfort, even through a full 90-minute match. The pronounced touch grooves further enhance responsiveness, letting you feel the ball more acutely for superior control, whether you're receiving a pass or setting up a shot.
Lacing: Ensure the laces are securely tied for a snug, personalized fit. The regular fit design works best when laced firmly to maximize foot lockdown within the PRIMEKNIT collar.
Initial Wear: While the HybridTouch upper is designed for comfort, it's always recommended to wear your new boots during a few light training sessions before a full match to ensure they adapt to your foot shape.
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or require extra grip from longer, screw-in studs. They are not recommended for use on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the boots and compromise your stability and performance.
Cleaning: After each use, remove loose mud and dirt using a soft brush or cloth. Wipe the entire surface with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, but avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the screw-in studs for wear and tear. Ensure they are tightened securely before each use. Replace worn studs as needed.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using boot trees can help maintain their shape.
Lacquer Finish: As noted in the product description, the lacquer finish on the bottom of this boot may wear off during play. This is a cosmetic characteristic and will not affect the performance of the product.
