– the new main aim of the new Predator is the improved swerve in the strike of the ball. Positioned on the kicking zone of the boot, the Predator element is a mix of rubber and silicon meaning it is lightweight but impactful.

Control:
– Optifit technology brings the upper materials in all areas as close as possible to the top of the foot. The football boot is constructed from Taurus leather which combines a weather and abrasion proof material with lightweight features.
