Designed for adult football players who demand enhanced precision and control on firm ground, the adidas Predator Elite FG delivers superior goal-scoring performance. Its key win is the combination of an advanced HybridTouch upper with Strikeskin grip elements and a responsive ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate, allowing for exceptional ball manipulation and agility. A minor caveat is that the lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play, though this does not affect performance.

The adidas Predator Elite FG boots are engineered for players who prioritize precision, control, and agility on the pitch. The HybridTouch upper molds to your foot for a comfortable, almost custom fit, allowing you to focus entirely on the game. When striking the ball, the Strikeskin rubber fins become immediately noticeable, providing an exceptional grip that translates into greater accuracy for passes and shots, as well as the ability to add significant swerve.
The pronounced touch grooves enhance your connection with the ball, offering superior responsiveness for dribbling and controlling possession in tight spaces. This makes teeing up shots and delivering intricate passes feel more natural and precise. On firm ground pitches, the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate shines, offering aggressive multidirectional traction that supports rapid changes in direction, explosive sprints, and stable footing for powerful shots. The ergonomic external heel counter further locks your foot in place, minimizing slippage during high-intensity movements.
These boots are suitable for various positions where ball control and accurate distribution are key, from creative midfielders to clinical strikers. The endorsement by professional players like Jude Bellingham and Alessia Russo highlights their suitability for high-level competitive play.
Lacing: These boots feature a traditional lace closure. Thread the laces through all eyelets and tie them securely to achieve a snug, comfortable fit that locks your foot in place.
Break-In: As with any new football boot, allow for a brief break-in period during lighter training sessions to allow the HybridTouch upper and Primeknit collar to fully conform to your foot shape.
Pitch Type: Specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This means natural grass fields that are relatively dry and firm. Using them on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor courts can damage the soleplate and compromise performance.
Fit: Regular fit, suitable for adult players.
Gender: Unisex design.
Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher mud, a soft brush can be used carefully on the upper and soleplate.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to stiffen or crack.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Lacquer Finish: Be aware that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate is designed to provide an initial aesthetic and will naturally wear off during play. This is cosmetic and will not affect the performance or durability of the soleplate or the boot itself.
