Training ahead of tonight's game against Roma, Chelsea striker Álvaro Morata was spotted wearing a pair of blackout Adidas Predator 18+ football boots.
A regular of the Adidas X and more recently the Nemeziz, it looks like Morata could be poised to join the Predator range once it returns in early December.
As you'll have learned by now, the Adidas Predator soccer boot line will return later this year to replace the Ace silo, i.e. the one in whose favor it was 'binned' just over two years ago. For the first time, Adidas will release a laceless Predator, which is the 18+ model showcased by Morata here.
After Tottenham's Harry Winks and PSG midfielder Adrien Rabiot wore blackouts in official matches, it would be premature to rule out Morata debuting his pair of all-black Adidas Predator 18+ soccer cleats in tonight's game against Roma.
