The adidas Predator Elite SG boots are engineered to transform pressure into focus, enabling players to 'score at will' and 'produce the goods when it counts.' The HybridTouch 2.0 upper provides a soft, responsive feel, allowing for precise ball manipulation and a comfortable fit throughout the match. When striking the ball, the Strikeskin rubber fins on the forefoot are crucial; they create additional friction, translating into enhanced swerve and accuracy, making every shot more dangerous.
On soft, natural grass pitches, the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate shines. Its multidirectional traction offers grip for quick changes of direction, explosive sprints, and stable footing when pivoting or striking. The external heel counter adds to this stability, ensuring your foot remains locked in during intense movements. Being the 'lightest Predator ever,' these boots provide a feeling of unhindered movement, encouraging an attacking, positive style of play. They are ideal for players who want to feel fast and agile while maintaining superior ball control for decisive moments in the game.
Lacing: Ensure the laces are securely tied for a snug, comfortable, and supportive fit. Adjust tension to your preference, starting from the toes and working upwards.
Break-in: While the HybridTouch 2.0 upper is designed for comfort, a short break-in period during training sessions is recommended to fully adapt to the boot's feel.
Playing Surface: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or require maximum stud penetration for grip. Do not use on firm ground (FG) or artificial turf (AG), as this can damage the soleplate and lead to poor performance or injury.
Fit: The boots feature a regular fit and lace closure, suitable for a range of foot shapes. They are designed for adult, unisex players.
Cleaning: After each use, remove loose mud and dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher grime, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag or box, away from extreme temperatures and moisture.
