Adidas Predator History

For those who’ve followed football for most of their lives, the adidas Predator needs no introduction. It’s an icon in the sporting world, a game-changing football boot that transformed how players interacted with the ball when it first appeared in 1994.

And who was responsible for this transformative soccer boot? Why, none other than a former player, Craig Johnson, who proved his worth by representing Liverpool and Middlesbrough in the midfield position. Following his premature retirement, he pitched his new idea (a boot with rubber fins) to adidas, and the brand dived at the opportunity upon seeing German players Franz Beckenbauer and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge wearing the shoes in a promotional video.

Over the years, Predator football boots have received multiple revisions by those seeking to innovate on—and ultimately perfect—the design. That’s why you’ll find not one but several models, the likes of which include the Accuracy, Elite, and Club. At JD Sports AU, there are plenty of choices suitable for both firm and soft ground, so purchase the pair that caters to your needs.
