The adidas Predator Elite FG football boots are engineered for adult players who demand exceptional precision, control, and stability on firm ground surfaces. Featuring an upgraded HybridTouch upper with Strikeskin fins and a ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate, these boots help players make perfect contact with the ball and deliver powerful, accurate shots. The main caveat is that they are specifically designed for firm ground, limiting their versatility on other pitch types.
HybridTouch Upper with Strikeskin Elements: Provides a soft, comfortable feel combined with enhanced grip from strategically placed rubber fins for superior ball control, precision, and swerve. This allows for perfect contact and accuracy when striking.
ControlFrame 2.0 Soleplate: Engineered for firm ground (FG) surfaces, this outsole delivers exceptional stability, multidirectional traction, and agility, supporting dynamic movements and powerful pushes.
adidas Primeknit Collar: Wraps securely around the ankle, offering improved comfort, adaptive support, and a snug fit that keeps the foot locked in during intense play.
Lace Closure: Ensures a secure and customizable fit, allowing players to adjust tightness for optimal comfort and support.
Made in part with Recycled Materials: Aligns with sustainability efforts, contributing to reduced environmental impact.
Signature 3-Stripe Branding: Iconic adidas branding featured on both sides of the boot, reflecting heritage and quality while providing a bold aesthetic.

The adidas Predator Elite FG boots are built for players whose game revolves around precision striking and ultimate control on firm grass pitches. The HybridTouch upper with its Strikeskin fins means every touch of the ball feels natural yet incredibly controlled. When you're dribbling, passing, or shooting, these elements provide the 'purchase' needed for both power and spin, allowing you to 'tee up another shot on goal' with confidence. Imagine bending a free-kick with pinpoint accuracy or hitting a long-range pass exactly where you intend it to go.
The ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is your foundation for dynamic play. On firm ground, it provides aggressive traction for quick changes of direction, explosive sprints, and solid footing when striking the ball. This stability helps you maintain balance as you 'zero in on your target', ensuring your shots and passes have maximum power and accuracy. The Primeknit collar offers a secure, almost 'sock-like' fit, reducing movement inside the boot and enhancing the feeling of unity between your foot and the boot. This translates to greater responsiveness and a more intuitive connection with the ball during crucial moments of the game.
Lace Closure: Ensure laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Pull firmly but comfortably to secure your foot within the boot, adjusting for a snug, personalized fit. Avoid over-tightening, which can restrict circulation, or under-tightening, which can lead to instability.
Break-in Period: Like all high-performance football boots, a short break-in period may be required to fully mold the HybridTouch upper and Primeknit collar to your foot's unique shape. Wear them for light training sessions before competitive matches.
Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. This includes natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly damp. Using them on artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor courts may result in suboptimal performance, reduced durability, or even injury risk due to inappropriate stud configuration.
Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, remove excess dirt and mud using a soft brush or cloth. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary). Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
Lacquer Note: Please be aware that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate may wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic occurrence and will not affect the performance or structural integrity of the product.
