adidas Football are at it again.
After reviving the Predator Precision with David Beckham earlier this year, adidas are dropping an update to another classic.
Revealed by the brand on Instagram, the adidas Football x David Beckham capsule collection is an homage to the Predator Accelerator worn during the 1998 World Cup.
Included in the collection is an all-white Predator Accelerator for the stadium, an all-red Predator Accelerator for the cage and an all-black Predator Accelerator for the street.
The collection was conceptualised after Beckham highlighted the Accelerator as his favourite Predator and chose red, white and black as the three most influential colours during his career.
The three shirt numbers synonymous with Beckham’s career are marked on the heel of each shoe – 23 on the triple-white ‘Stadium’ boot, 32 on the triple-black ‘Street’ shoe and the famous number 7 on the triple-red ‘Cage’ shoe. Even the lettering blends the original Predator typeface with Beckham’s name and number to produce a modern twist on a classic.
Speaking on the collection, Beckham said:
"When I look back on the best moments of my career, the one defining theme of them all is the adidas Predator. It has always been there, helping me play my best when it mattered most. That’s why when adidas offered me the chance to design an updated version of the boot for on-pitch, in the cage and on the street, I absolutely jumped at the chance."
The new collection is available tomorrow from selected stores and adidas.com.
