The new Adidas Predator 2025 'Year of the Snake' soccer boots are red combined with black speckled patterns on the uppers inspired by snake skin - the animal that symbolizes the Lunar New Year 2025 according to Eastern beliefs.
The reason why Adidas uses red as its main color is because, according to the Eastern perspective, it is the color of luck, happiness, and prosperity. The folded tongue is red, the 3 stripe logo is black with a gold border. The outsole is gold with a black snakeskin pattern.
'YEAR OF THE SNAKE' is printed on the of the fold-over tongue.
The left heel is printed with the Adidas logo, while the right heel has a snake logo, both in gold.
