Colorways Leaked - Adidas to Bring Back Predator Silo in 2018
Jul 22, 2017, by Pat
Update: The debut colorways of the upcoming Adidas Predator 18 football boots have been leaked online. Scroll down a bit to find out about the first three paint jobs.
It's all but confirmed that Adidas will bring back the Predator line of football boots with the launch of the Spring / Summer 2018 collection, slated for December. This matches our earlier reports of Adidas discontinuing the Ace and a put a new spin on images that showed Barcelona's Ivan Rakitic wearing what looked like an Ace 17+ Purecontrol successor back in February.
Adidas Predator 18 - Debut Colorways
This image shows the colors of the Adidas Predator 18 launch colorway.
The first Adidas Predator 18 cleats will be black with white and orange, followed up by 'White / Black / Coral' and 'Blue / Lime'.
Adidas Predator 18 Boots to Be Released Later this Year
This image shows Ivan Rakitic wearing the supposed laceless Adidas Predator 18+ cleats in training.
Although Adidas released several remakes of iconic Predator boots from the past - the Mania (2002) most recently and the Precision (2000) to follow shortly - the 2018 Adidas Predator cleats won't have much in common with those classics. Instead, the Adidas Predator 18+ and 18.1 boots will be more or less direct replacements of the current Ace 17+ Purecontrol and Ace 17.1 Primeknit.
This fact is underpinned by the Rakitic prototype, seemingly a clear advancement of the former model. Furthermore, different sources indicated that Adidas made this 'name change' as late as in April, just about eight months prior to release.
The boots worn by Rakitic, supposed to be the new Adidas Predator 18+, have a laceless construction that is distinctively different from that of the Ace 17+. It's quite obvious that the collar part goes down further than on both Ace 16 and 17, while the heel counter also appears changed on first look. The sole plate, however, looks the same. Check out our detailed look at that specific prototype for more details.
The first-ever Adidas Predator 18 football boots are set to be released in early December 2017, in a collection that will also include a gold X 17. Pricing should be identical or similar to the Ace 17.

FUS Rabat 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Moroccan Botola Pro side FUS Rabat has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 season, manufactured by Spanish brand Joma. The capital club steps into the new campaign with a coordinated and sharp visual identity across both strips.
The Joma FUS Rabat 26-27 home shirt is predominantly red, anchored by a prominent central white stripe that runs down the body, broken only for the main sponsor. The fabric features an understated tonal texture throughout, accompanied by a clean white crew neck collar. Inverting the look, the 26-27 away shirt relies on a clean white base centered around a bold red vertical stripe and matching red accents.
Both jerseys carry the traditional FUS Rabat crest on the left chest, with Novec Groupe CDG and Cosumar featured as shirt sponsors. The away kit also includes neat Arabic calligraphy spelling out "Rabat" on the upper back above the player names and numbers. Matching shorts and socks complete the Moroccan club's new 26-27 wardrobe.

Following Nike's official launch of the pair on September 21, 2026, the Australian forward wasted no time lacing them up for competitive action. Kerr took to the pitch wearing her preferred low-cut iteration of the silhouette, continuing her longstanding preference for low collars over the high dynamic fit collar.

Croatia Debuts Adidas 26-27 Away Kit
Croatia officially kicked off its new era with Adidas on Saturday night, debuting the 26-27 away kit during a 2-1 UEFA Nations League victory against Czechia in Prague. The match marked the first on-pitch appearance for the Vatreni in the three stripes following the conclusion of their 26-year partnership with Nike this summer.
The new Croatia 26-27 away strip is predominantly deep blue and features an intricate tonal graphic inspired by the country's centuries-old lacemaking heritage from regions such as Pag and Lepoglava. The textured pattern is complemented by vibrant coral red accents across the V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and shoulder stripes, while the chest features a clean white Trefoil logo opposite the federation crest.
Completed with matching deep blue shorts and socks, the kit looked sharp on the pitch and has earned praise from supporters for its blend of cultural motifs and modern detailing.
