One of the most exciting launches this year in the boot world was the introduction of the hybrid version of the adipower Predator SL. Basically considered as the elite version of the current adipower Predater adidas showed their creativity by recreating a boot which in my mind is a pure concept boot.
The SL which is very similar to the regular Predator is different in two major ways. The first big difference is that the SL boot does not have the predater technology which stirs the question to many consumers that why in the world did adidas call this a Predator when it does not have any Predator technology. Secondly, the SL version comes with a synthetic upper which is unique because forever the Predator has only had a leather based upper. By changing the upper and going with synthetic it allows adidas to greatly reduce the weight of the boot and market it has a SL/elite silo in the range of boots. However, one draw back about the SL range is the price increase and if you are a true predator fan it makes you wonder about this boot because it does not have the technology but is called the Predator SL. Price of the boot is $250 and both the black and white color ways are available at soccer.com. This color way will be released mid-November which is a pretty sick color way in my opinion because the boot has a faded pattern on the toe box which we have never seen before.
