The return of the adidas Predator

***UPDATE***: After the first leaked images in October, adidas officially presented the new adidas Predator 19+ Mania, in the black and white versions, which traces the history of the most famous silhouette of the German brand. They will be available on the adidas website from 10am on Saturday, December 7 (€349.95).

The first pictures of the new adidas Predator 19+ Mania have been leaked and they're going to be released soon. The shoes - which will be part of the Adidas Predator Mania collection to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their first release - bring back the same colours scheme of the famous adidas Predator Mania released in 2002, the one made famous by Del Piero, Kaka, Zidane and Beckham after the Japan and Korea 2002 World Cup. Black, red and white will be therefore main features, with some substantial differences.

The new Predator 19+ Mania will be similar to the latest Predator, maintaining the typical laceless Sockfit collar. The upper will be in kangaroo leather featuring the iconic three rubber stripes on the front while removing the laces and the eye-catching tongue of the 2002 model.
The collection - which includes besides the 19+ also the white Predator Mania 19.1 and the remake version of the red Predator Mania - will be released soon, even if the official launch date is not yet known.
