All-New, Final Adidas Predator 2018 Prototype Boots Leaked
Oct 6, 2017, by Chris
After several players such as Mats Hummels and Manuel Neuer trained in what appeared to be the final prototype version of the Adidas Predator 18.1 football boots, Polish boot freaks Tepy have leaked the first pictures of a blackout prototype of the Adidas Predator 18.1 cleats. The Adidas Predator 18 football boot replaces the Adidas Ace and is set to be launched as laceless (Adidas Ace 18+) and laces version (Adidas Ace 18.1)
Adidas Predator 18.1 Prototype
The Adidas Predator 18 takes the concept of its replacement boot, the Adidas Ace 17, while adding typical Predator rubber elements on the upper to create a real Predator. The upper material of the Adidas Predator 18.1 looks almost identical the one of the Ace 17.1.
The sole plate of the Adidas Predator 18.1 football boots features new diamond-shaped studs, making them looking a lot more aggressive than the Adidas Ace 17.
The Adidas Predator 18 cleats are set to be launched in December 2017 with a black, white and red colorway.

Nigeria Women Update Crest With 10 Stars
At the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), defending champions Nigeria featured a special detail on their shirts: 10 stars added above their crest. The "Super Falcons" had never worn stars on their kits in previous WAFCONs.
