adiPower Predator (Black - Warning)
Facts and Review...
The Predator is dead! Long live the Predator!
Sounds dramatic...Anyway, the Predator is back, in a big way, and it couldn't come at a better time. Let's be honest, the Predator X had some great ideas, but they weren't executed well, and it turned out to be a bit of a dud.
The only good thing that came out of the Predator X was the innovation used toward the adiPower Predator. The adiPower Predator features the SprintFrame outsole popularized by the adiZero, but if also features a Taurus upper and reinvigorated Preator applique. We try to explain it to people as a mix between the Powerswerves and the adiZero, which makes for a pretty darn nice cleat.
The other aspect of the adiPower we love is the price ($20 cheaper than the X's) and the weight (7.8 oz.). With those two bonuses in hand, the adiPower will make for Adidas' strongest shoe of 2011, and probably our favorite boot of the year so far.
