Golden Balls Testing adiPOWER Predator in Pre-season?


Unlike most testing models which are usually blacked out boots to conceal the appearance of the boots David Beckham has been spotted during pre-season wearing a all white pair of boots that most definitely resemble the next Predator, called the adiPOWER Predator which is expected to hit stores this June 2011. It is very interesting to see DB with an all white pair of boots because all of the other sightings around the globe have been blacked out versions of the soon to be adiPOWER Predator. 

I am very interested to see what DB thinks about the new Predator; Only time will tell but rather then a power boot I think footy fans will perceive it as a speed boot/light weight boot which could hurt the silo especially if Nike introduces the next Total 90 with innovation and creativity. However, like the adizero release the hype surrounding these boots is immense due to the fact it is the herald Predator series and it will be the lightest Predator to date weighing in at 5.8 oz. 

In the end, I believe there is a niche for power boots within the industry and with a power boot also comes more protection which a lot of the speed boots do not offer. 

Do you like the direction the Predator is headed?
