adidas has, again, raised the bar in their fight to be top-dog in the elite world of soccer cleats, by releasing the adidas Predator X! With just 8 months until the beginning of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, adidas have unleashed a cracker of a boot on to the market!
First off, let me just say that I have never been a big Predator fan. Growing up, I was the one who avoided the Predator range, as they always seemed a little too gimmicky for me. On top of that, I see myself as more of an Andrei Kanchelskis than a David Beckham, so I have always looked for the lighter boot that is advertised for speed and acceleration. These cleats are a little different, and I must admit, I am a big fan of what they offer! I wear a size 9 soccer cleat, and for this review I wore a 9. Size wise, the Predator X fits true to form. I was wearing the white/dark brown/yellow version. Visually, they have a 'whoah' effect, testament to the fact that anyone who has seen them really likes how they look. They have a sleek attractive look about them that makes them very appealing. There is plenty of yellow in the design, but this actually looks really good...
