Update: In a very unusual event, Liverpool's Joe Gomez debuted his whiteout prototype of the next-generation Adidas Predator 2026 football boots in last weekend's Premier League match vs Arsenal. He apparently liked the next-generation Preds so much that he immediately wanted to wear them - the 3 Stripes brand probably gave the go-ahead.
The first on-pitch images of the next-generation Adidas Predator 2026 football boots have surfaced, giving us our first real-life look at the highly anticipated new model.
Arsenal Women's player Michelle Agyemang was spotted wearing a whiteout prototype version of the boots during a recent training session.
