The adidas Predator Elite Tongue SG boots are engineered to help players dominate the midfield and attacking third, particularly on soft, natural grass pitches. The HybridTouch upper and Strikeskin grip elements work in tandem to provide an exceptional feel for the ball, allowing for precise passes, powerful shots, and wicked swerve. When you strike the ball, the refined touch grooves and grip elements help you generate more spin and accuracy. The foldover tongue ensures a clean strike zone and a snug fit, reducing distractions during intense play. On the pitch, the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate provides the necessary bite and stability for quick changes of direction, explosive acceleration, and solid planting for shots. Its multidirectional traction is crucial for maintaining grip in wet or soft conditions. These boots are favored by top athletes like Jude Bellingham and Alessia Russo, highlighting their capability for high-level performance in competitive environments. Remember, these boots are specifically designed for soft ground; using them on harder surfaces may reduce performance and increase wear.

Setup 1. Lacing: Utilize the lace closure system to achieve a secure and customized fit. Ensure laces are tied firmly but comfortably to prevent slippage and provide optimal support. 2. Tongue Adjustment: The foldover tongue should be positioned to provide an integrated feel and a clean striking surface. Use the strap to keep it securely in place. ### Compatibility - Ground Type: These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches, which typically have natural grass that is wet or muddy. The conical and bladed studs provide optimal traction in these conditions. - Fit: Features a regular fit with an adidas Primeknit collar for an adaptive, sock-like feel. - Age Group: Designed for adult players. ### Care 1. Cleaning After Use: Immediately after playing, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or cloth. 2. Washing: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, which can damage materials. 3. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) as this can cause materials to crack or shrink. 4. Lacquer Finish: Be aware that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is normal and will not affect the performance or durability of the product. 5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain material integrity.
