2010 adidas Champions League Line

Here they are. The new line of adidas Champions League boots. This year they are going with a red, white, blue and gold color scheme. I'd like to think that they did that so that the US Internationals would have a good boot to match their kits for the World Cup, but I'm sure that's not it.

First up, Predator:

These are really just another color of the Predator X design. But it must be said that these are a very good-looking colorway. The predominately blue upper has a bit of a shine without being overly flashy. The red accents are just enough to stand out but remain understated. Also, a gold Champions League logo can be found on the heel of the insole. All in all, these are the same quality that you'd expect from a Predator in a classy new color.

Next, adiPURE:

Again, these are another color of the adiPURE III boot from adidas. Sticking with the theme of both the classic look of the adiPURE line and the color scheme for Champions League, this colorway is mostly white with blue accents. Then the gold stitching gives the perfect finishing touch to a classic look for a quality design.

Finally, the F50 TUNIT:

This boot is the brightest of the bunch by a longshot. The upper is a bright red with gold accents, including the pattern overlay on most of the boot. You will get noticed in these boots, no doubt. As with all the other Tunits, the boot is fully customizable and the start kit comes with FG, SG, and HG studs and comes in a very nice box to keep it all together.

Swerve, Power and Control: The Meaning of a Predator - Part II

The the adidas Predator Power TRX FG Cleats (Running White Metallic/Metallic Silver/Black) is here.

What’s the only thing better than power?

Yeah, more power. And so the Ninth Predator® generation range is the most accurate, lightest and most powerful ever made. The Low-profile engineered Predator® elements have been integrated into the Power Zone on top of the forefoot for even more power behind every shot, while enhanced Predator® technology in the Swerve Zone at the side continues to give shots and passes the power, swerve and accuracy that have made this the world’s most elite football boot for over a decade.

If some of the following sounds familiar it is because the Predator Swerve has similar features. That’s okay, read it again.


SmartFoam

The introduction of SmartFoam technology (adapts to offer increased power and/or shock absorption on ball strike as your needs change throughout the match) and a re-designed PowerPulse system gives this boot increased ball spin for accuracy and masses of power when you need it. The world’s top boot gives you cushioned power and control behind every shot. How? An extra 10 grams of tungsten have been added to the PowerPulse sole to increase the power of your shots.

Predator PowerPulse

You already know about the super soft K-leather which offers added durability, lightness and a glove like fit.
But, did you know this boot provides a reengineered dynamic PREDATOR featuring POWERPULSE technology for more power, swerve and control?

You also get a 2nd density asymmetrical external heel counter for optimal comfort, fit and stability with asymmetrical loop lacing added to increase better ball contact.

Dynamic

The inlay of the boot has a new exchangeable Dynamic Power System for more flexibility and increased shooting power.

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.

Lastly, the split outsole for the Predator Power optimizes the weight and flexibilty of the boot, while the X-Traxion fixed stud system will give you adaptable grip on any terrain.

Now that you’ve got Swerve and Power – all you need is Control to have the supreme footballing triumvirate. Stay tuned.
