The adidas Predator Elite Laceless FG boots are engineered for players who prioritize precise ball control, powerful striking, and dynamic movement on firm, natural grass pitches. The HybridTouch upper provides a soft, comfortable feel, enabling a natural touch on the ball, which is essential for intricate dribbling and accurate passing.
The Strikeskin rubber fins are strategically placed to give you extra grip on the ball, making it easier to bend shots, deliver precise passes, and generate powerful strikes with consistent accuracy. For instance, when attempting a curling shot from outside the box, the added grip helps impart more spin, increasing your chances of finding the top corner. The pronounced touch grooves further enhance responsiveness, giving you a better feel for the ball, crucial for quick changes in direction and close control in tight spaces. The laceless design ensures a clean striking zone, minimizing interference between your foot and the ball, allowing for pure, unadulterated contact. This is particularly beneficial for powerful volleys or long-range efforts.
Underfoot, the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate with its multidirectional traction provides the grip needed for explosive acceleration, sharp cuts, and stable planting. Whether you're making a quick sprint down the wing or changing direction to evade a defender, the soleplate is designed to support your movements. The ergonomic external heel counter adds to the stability, locking your foot in place during intense play. These boots are best utilized by offensive players and midfielders who frequently engage in shooting, passing, and intricate ball work.
Preparation: Ensure your feet are clean and dry. It's recommended to wear your preferred football socks for optimal comfort.
Putting On: Due to the laceless design and adidas Primeknit collar, gently stretch the collar open and slide your foot in. The collar is designed to be snug for a secure, locked-down fit.
Fit Check: The boots should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight. Your toes should lightly touch the end of the boot without being cramped. The laceless design provides a uniform, adaptive fit.
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. This includes natural grass pitches that are firm, dry, or slightly damp. Using them on artificial grass (AG), turf (TF), or extremely wet/muddy soft ground (SG) pitches is not recommended as it can compromise performance, durability, and potentially lead to injury.
Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the HybridTouch upper.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their original shape.
Lacquer Finish: Be aware that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate may wear off during play. This is a cosmetic change and does not impact the boot's performance or durability.
