Football boot collector @thebootpredator gives us a rare look at a prototype of the next-generation Adidas Predator Edge. 1 cleats.
Adidas Predator Edge.1 'V1 Sample' - Blackout
This picture shows a prototype of the new Adidas Predator Edge.
The Adidas Predator Edge football boots from the V1 Sample pack are totally blackout, just as it is tradition for prototype cleats.
Two things let the prototypes stand out - first, they are identified with "V1" on the insole and upper. Second, they come with the text "FOOTWEAR" on the upper in the PREDATOR font.
Adidas Predator 18 V1 Prototype Boots Leaked
It is nothing new for Adidas to mark prototypes with V1.
According to @thebootpredator, "there is a lot of rubber on these".
Looking at features, the 'Blackout' Adidas Predator Edge football shoes are exactly the same as all colorways released thus far.
