Close-up pictures of the boots worn by the two Bayern München players.
Replacing the Adidas Ace 17.1, the Adidas Predator 18.1 soccer cleats most remarkably add control elements on the front and the inside, inspired by the trademark rubber elements of the classic Adidas Predator boots.
Like the Adidas Ace 17.1 football boots, the Adidas Ace 18.1 football boots feature a heightened collar for a perfect fit and comfort. The shape of the collar has been changed heavily compared to the Adidas Ace 17.
The outsole of the Adidas Predator 18.1 football boots will be very similar to the sole plate of the Adidas Ace, including the external heel counter and the stud configuration.
Adidas will release the all-new Adidas Predator 18.1 soccer cleats in December 2017 with two debut colorways (black / white / red and white / black / red). The laceless laceless version of the Adidas Predator 18 football boot, the Adidas Predator 18+, will headline the collection.

Michael Olise Wears Custom Mint Green Nike Hypervenom Boots to Match France Away Kit
Michael Olise has once again caught the attention of boot enthusiasts by wearing a pair of custom mint green Nike Hypervenom Phantom III boots during France vs Norway.
The striking mint green colorway was specifically chosen to perfectly match the accents of the France away kit.
This recent choice highlights Olise's distinct habit of meticulously coordinating his football boots with his team's kits. Operating without a boot sponsorship deal, the winger has the freedom to select his footwear based entirely on aesthetics rather than contractual obligations. He frequently sources old or custom pairs of his favorite Nike Hypervenom Phantom III boots, ensuring perfect color coordination with his club and country uniforms.
His dedication to this matching aesthetic has become a signature part of his on-pitch style. By prioritizing visual harmony between his boots and kits, Olise stands out in an era where most top-level players are tied to strict brand sponsorships and colorway mandates.
