adidas Football Boots

In the world of the beautiful game, adidas football boots have achieved legendary status. Since the first pair dropped in the early 1900s, they have been one of the key drivers of innovation, undergoing continuous refinement to give players, both professional and amateur, an advantage on the pitch.

You may recognise some of the biggest names in the JD Sports Australia line-up: Predator, Copa, X, and more. Throughout the decades, these collections have been at the forefront of the sport, with countless iconic players wearing adidas soccer boots in some of the biggest competitions and matches, including World Cup finals.

The Evolution of adidas Soccer Boots

It was in 1925 that adidas, then a much smaller company, made its first move in the football industry, releasing what is by today’s standards a primitive boot. This footy boot, however unremarkable it may seem to the modern athlete, was just the first of many to come. Decades later, the three-stripes range is home to the best of the best.

Looking at the Predator, which was released in 1994, you will immediately notice a drastic improvement in its design. The first change to note is that it looks far more aesthetic—a requirement almost as essential as performance ability—with a sleek silhouette and lots of different colourways, from classic black and white to vibrant yellow and blue. Second, the Predator comes in different forms, reflecting changing demands and pitch conditions; for example, there are laceless variations and AstroTurf boots with rubber outsoles.
