The return of the 'Preds' is finally here. Adidas this morning - as expected - relaunched the Predator silo and with it the 18.1 version, the most traditional high-end model that will be available to consumers.
Adidas Predator 18.1 - Core Black / White / Tactile Gold Metallic / Real Coral
This is the Adidas Predator 18.1 football boot in the launch colorway.
Just like the 18+, the Adidas Predator 18.1 debut soccer cleats are black with white 3 Stripes on the outstep and a bit of red on the inside of the collar. Finally, large parts of the sole plate are gold, although contrary to the laceless version, they are matte and not metallic.
The Adidas Predator 18.1 cleats have a one-piece Primeknit upper with a heightened collar, stiffer and more supportive than on the Ace 17, and Predator-like contorl elements int he front and on the inside. The sole plate has been redesigned to be more aggressive compared to the Ace line.
