'Deadly Strike' Adidas Predator 18.1 Boots Released
Mar 28, 2018, by Pat
Adidas today launched a fresh colorway for the Predator 18 boots as part of the Deadly Strike collection.

This image shows the Adidas Predator 18 in the blue and turquoise colorway.
Part of the Deadly Strike pack, these new Adidas Predator 2018 boots are predominantly blue with white 3 Stripes on the outside and a plain inside. A graphic print covers the entirety of the upper of the blue and turquoise Adidas Predator 18 soccer cleats, although it's more visible in the collar part, which is not covered by an extra layer of synthetic.
Tech-wise, the Adidas Predator 18 cleats as expected don't stray to far from the Ace's winning formula. They have a one-piece upper construction with a heightened collar. A subtle ribbed structure is present at the front of Adidas Predator 18, while the the heel and sides around the back are reinforced.
The sole plate includes studs with a diamond-shaped base. This makes the sole plate of the Adidas Predator 18.1 boots look a lot more aggressive than the one of the Ace 17.
Adidas Predator 18.1 - Features
- Knit upper
- Controlskin upper texture
- Molded heel offers a snug fit
- Stretchy Sockfit collar with Adidas Primeknit
- RRP: USD 225 (EUR 220, GBP 200)
Part of the Deadly Strike collection, the blue and turquoise Adidas Predator 18.1 soccer cleats are already available to buy from Adidas, with independent retailers set to follow in early April.

Saudi Side Al-Nahda Club Unveils Brand-New Minimalist Logo
Saudi club Al-Nahda has officially revealed a brand-new visual identity and logo, moving away from its long-standing traditional emblem in favor of a sleek, ultra-modern aesthetic for the 26-27 season and beyond. Thanks to @MidanAlAtqam.
The new crest adopts a sharp shield silhouette executed in the club's signature black and sky blue colorway. At the core of the design is an abstract, interlocking geometric structure forming stylized vertical lines and an angular motif, accompanied by the club's founding year, 1949, at the bottom. This marks a radical departure from the previous ornate crest, which was packed with intricate elements including Arabic calligraphy, a classic football, a torch, and a handshake.
According to club chairman Ibrahim Al-Mowalad, the rebrand encapsulates Al-Nahda's journey through heritage, belonging, and future ambition. The drastic makeover has generated significant debate among fans, dividing those who appreciate the streamlined modern look and those who feel it strips away the detailed regional identity of the original crest.
