The football boot market has been dominated of late by Nike following the release of the Mercurial Vapor V and Mercurial Vapor Superfly.
Faced with such a blizzard of Nike publicity, Adidas are hoping to redress the balance with the release of 3 new colourways for 3 of their most iconic football boots.
Adidas Predator PowerSwerve Rome
As with all Adidas Predator football boots, these come with a high quality k-leather upper on the forefoot, and feature an outer heel counter to protect and offer stability on the rear.
The Adidas Predator PowerSwerve technology is advanced by rebound materials in the upper to create more power and swerve than previous models.
These Adidas Predator PowerSwerve feature a fixed stud sole unit which is split to offer flexibility and maintain a lightweight feel, whilst maintaining comfort on all firm natural surfaces.
This Champions League special Adidas Predator PowerSwerve celebrates the 2009 Final to be held in Rome. The boots are black in colour, with gold and cardinal red detailing which gives an expensive finish to a classic football boot.
As a finishing touch, the Adidas Predator PowerSwerve Rome include a Colosseum inspired design in gold on the insole, and red on the outer of the boot.

Looks good – Adidas certainly need to do something after the weeks and weeks of Nike stories.
@Fenboy I’m with u, it was about Adidas did something, I almost forgot they existed, after that avalanche of Nike stories.
New ones will be out soon anyway
The new preds will be out soon anyway.
Not gonna pay 120 for these when new ones come out in 2 months.
I do like the k – leather rather than plastic boots
I must say I’m not impressed by these. They look boring! When you think the Nike boots in recent weeks have been pretty pleasing on the eye, this just doesn’t cut it! Come on Adidas, pull your finger out!
I think they look great boot. the power have been immense for me so far. However i would like to see the new predator that will be released in two months before i buy. i havent seen any pictures yet.
Yeah I agree with you. But, could you find some pictures of the new predators?
oh man the new preds “trustrikes” are ugly as sin. ive seen them here:

luckily, the new f50s coming out in may are the exact opposite, and in my opinion, the nicest, classiest, and well designed adidas boots ive seen in a while. they look a bit like they fused the last f50 with a copa mundial and a splash of mercurial. they come in black k leather with a touch of electric blue, electric blue and black, and white.

PS where are my lime green and “berry” preds? (just kidding!!!)
Yes, save your money, if you like adidas predator wait for the new ones. Pictures not available though until after the Champions League Final.
These definitly aint bad but there r better preds out already adidas probobly won’t sell many of these with new preds comin out in a few months
i agree with omar, is the same adipure, predator and f50, just new colors, bad for adidas, and excellent for nike.
I suppose it’s pretty tough for Adidas, all players who wear Adidas will have to wear them in the CL final, but they don’t know which clubs it will be!
So they’ve got to make a fairly neutral colourway.
I’d just debut the newest models at the final instead. Much better for publicity in my opinion!

That what it says in the title, wheres the other 2 then?
Jamie Thomo – they are referring to the new adiPure II and F50.9 which were both featured on the day but have now been replaced by Footy Boots on their home page.
You can find out what they were going on about at the following 2 addresses….

WOW These look cool…. Although it would have looked sooooooo much better without the red.
The detailing is quite interesting though I got a new adiPure II already so… probably wait for the new Predators. The pix dont look half as bad…. think they are nicer than the current generation.
By the way, the next Predator edition is No.10 i believe? (being zizou, I know I’ve used all of them since day 1! haha)…
I was looking around the internet and Adidas are going to have special Edition Predators to celebrate there 10th Anniversary.
So look out for something special come May
That’s not going to happen! ,
