This image shows the new Adidas Predator cleats from the '2025 Chinese New Year' collection.
The new Adidas Predator 2025 Chinese New Year 'Snake' soccer boots have a main red color 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 Adidas '2025 Chinese New Year' Predator soccer cleats have a snakeskin upper pattern very similar to the upper pattern of the Predator 30 shoes - the first edition of the Predator 24 shoes.
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 inside 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.
Tech-wise, the Adidas Predator 2025 Chinese New Year 'Snake' Edition boots feature a few minor changes over the Predator 24 and are designed to deliver ultimate control and power on the pitch.
