Strange Over the past couple of years adidas has managed to put themselves front and center with the return of a Predator with a foldover tongue. Such a simple addition would not have had as much impact by itself, but the fact that the Predator 24 was so good and then adidas managed to do […]

Solid While the other two big brands in the boot market (Puma and Nike) have mostly left the leather boot game, for the time being at least, adidas continued to push on with their Copa Pure series. On top of that, they even let the Copa Icon II get reworked to release as another leather […]

Masterclass We have been absolutely deluged over the past half decade with remakes of various sorts and colourways. It has gotten has to the point that a new release is more likely to make me eyeroll instead of getting me excited. There is just so much product on the market and it can be exhausting […]

The pinnacle of modern Predators Adidas released the Predator Rotiero last year with much acclaim. After so many years, adidas was finally giving the market a proper leather Predator and it was excellent. For some, like TexasCleatCollector, it was their boot of the year. I also was over the moon and the only reason I […]

An absurd proposition If there is one thing that a lot of us boot heads have been wanting for a while now is for brands to go crazy with their high-end products. For a while, it has felt like brands have been playing it too safe. Car manufacturers often have “Halo” models which are less […]

Almost the Perfect Improvement When adidas brought the F50 back last year, it seemed more like an updated X rather than a whole new boot.

They accomplished this by releasing something very similar to what […]

Better than the Original We are currently experiencing a consistent wave of remakes in the past several years to the point where most major brands are bringing back various models from their past catalogues. While some brands have had their own excellent remakes, especially Mizuno with their Wave Cup and Wave Ignitus remakes, most people […]

Design makes the difference There has recently been a rise in boots that perform at an elite level but for prices closer to what we expect from non-elite level models. This is a much needed change as a lot of the elite models continue to rise in price and put them out of the reach […]

Even better Adidas put the boot world on notice when it released Predator with a fold over tongue towards the end of 2023. Over the following year adidas put out a whole range (too many, in fact) of colourways to suit just about every taste. Add in the beloved Roteiro and Beckham Pred releases and […]

There can only be one! Or maybe two. Adidas have been done an excellent job on their boot releases this year and the adidas F50 has been no exception. The launch colourway of the boot was not just a callback colourway but signaled a return of the F50 name as well. An excellent performer, and […]
