Totally blackout to hide what he is wearing, the Adidas Predator 18.1 Rabiot boots are the same as the Predator cleats worn by the likes of Hummels, Neuer and Wink. Originating from the Adidas Ace football boots, the Adidas Predator 18.1 soccer cleats feature a high-cut collar and an upper with new rubber elements for better ball control. The elements are inspired by the trademark feature of the original Adidas Predator boots.
Rabiot usually laces up in Adidas Ace 17.1 football boots, which are set to be replaced by the Adidas Predator 18 officially in December 2017.
