adidas Unveil First Predator 26 Colourway Of The …

2 MIN READ

Adidas are kicking off the year exactly as they mean to go on. The first Predator 26 colourway of the year is here, but it is so much more than just that. This one lands as a special edition, built to honour the history of one of football’s most iconic silos.

Straight out the gate, this boot goes bold. The new look sees the Predator silo arrive dressed in a red and white colourway, instantly nodding to some of the silo’s most iconic eras. Red dominates the forefoot, similar to last year’s first pack of the year, whilst crisp white balances things out through the midfoot and soleplate. But the detailing is where this boot goes crazy.

Where the ‘Unlocked’ edition really separates itself from the main pack though, is in its storytelling, with certain tweaks and detailing that you just won’t see on the main colourway. Starting with the box. This isn’t just something to store the boots in, it’s a vault. One that reveals the Preds like a prized artefact. A code-like design mirrors a dial combination lock on the front but turn to the back and the history of the Predator feels alive. A full walkthrough of all generations of Predator feature in a timeline, showing just how much change and development this iconic boot has witnessed. Honestly, the box is a collector’s piece even without the boots…

Other graphic elements and embossed details across the boot tribute key Predator moments and eras, as well as nodding to the some of the best Predator players in the game right now.

Adidas are wasting no time of 2026 with this one. It’s not just another boot, it’s a celebration. Big moments, and ever bigger players. New year. New Pred. Same attitude.
