The adidas Predator Elite SG boots are built for players who demand precision and control in every aspect of their game, particularly on soft, natural grass pitches. The Strikeskin rubber fins on the HybridTouch upper provide an almost magnetic feel to the ball, allowing you to generate significant swerve and accuracy when shooting or passing. Imagine bending a free-kick around a wall with pinpoint precision – the Strikeskin assists in that. The more pronounced touch grooves ensure that whether you're receiving a pass, dribbling, or lining up a shot, the ball feels glued to your foot, offering superior responsiveness. This means quicker adjustments and better command of the ball in tight spaces. Underfoot, the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is your foundation for dynamic play. Its multidirectional traction lets you accelerate, change direction sharply, and maintain stability during explosive movements, crucial for outmaneuvering opponents on a soft pitch. The ergonomic external heel counter locks your foot in place, ensuring you feel secure and supported through sprints and challenges. These boots empower you to take charge, deliver accurate passes, and strike with confidence, making every moment on the soft ground count.
Setup: These boots feature a standard lace closure. To ensure the best fit and support, fully loosen the laces before putting the boots on. Insert your foot, making sure your heel is seated comfortably in the heel counter. Then, tighten the laces evenly from the toe up to the ankle, securing them with a knot. The Primeknit collar will adapt to your ankle for a snug feel.
Compatibility: These adidas Predator Elite boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This means they are best suited for natural grass fields that are wet or muddy, where their specialized studs can penetrate the surface to provide maximum grip and traction. They are not recommended for use on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor courts, as this could damage the boots and increase the risk of injury.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, clean your boots. Remove any large clumps of mud or dirt with a soft brush or by hand. Wipe the HybridTouch upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Drying: Never force dry your boots with a hairdryer or by placing them on a radiator, as this can damage the materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb excess moisture and help maintain their shape.
Soleplate Lacquer: Please note that the lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic change and will not affect the performance or durability of the product.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using a boot bag can help protect them.
