Football legend Zinédine Zidane helped to develop the new Predator® PowerSwerve boot. After ending his active career, he worked together with the adidas innovation team (a.i.t) in the further evolution of the new boot. By thoroughly testing the new model, Zinédine Zidane has helped to take quality and fit of this boot to a new level. The ninth generation of the Predator® family sets new standards, in particular with regard to power, swerve and control. Scientific tests have shown that, in comparison to its predecessor, the Predator® PowerSwerve can achieve up to eight percent more swerve and increase the power behind every shot by around three percent. The Dynamic PowerPulse technology in the sole of the boot and the special hi-tech foam in the forefoot upper material make these improvements possible. The PowerPulse element filled with tungsten powder, which shifts weight toward the point of impact, enables players to put more power behind every shot. The hi-tech foam in the Predator® element ensures added power, more swerve and better ball control.
With the launch of the Predator® PowerSwerve adidas is adding a further chapter to the successful Predator® story. Since first being introduced in 1994, the Predator® has been continuously further developed with the help of top football players, guaranteeing that it meets the highest standards in terms of design and, above all, functionality. adidas players relying on the new Predator® technology include: David Beckham (LA Galaxy), Michael Ballack (Cheslea FC), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool FC), Patrick Vieira (Inter Milan), Daniel Agger (Liverpool FC), Marc Janko (Red Bull Salzburg), Dirk Kuyt (Liverpool FC), Angelos Charisteas (1. FC Nuremberg), Daniele de Rossi (AS Roma), Tranquillo Barnetta (Bayer 04 Leverkusen) and Anderson (Manchester United).
