Compare All Adidas Predator 2018 Boots - Predator 18+ vs Predator 18.1 vs 18.2 vs 18.3 vs 18.4

Adidas this week launched the all-new Predator 2018 football boots. However, the Adidas Predator 18 soccer cleat is actually not an all-new boot but rather the successor of the Adidas Ace, both in terms of tech and models. Let's take a look at the different versions of the Adidas Predator 18 football boots.

Model-wise, there is one big change. While the Adidas Ace 17 soccer boots were available as leather edition (Adidas Ace 17.1 K-Leather), there is no Adidas Predator Kangaroo leather soccer cleat available to buy (Adidas' players still got them from the Three Stripes as we exclusively reported).

Interestingly, the stud configurations of the Adidas Predator 18+, Predator 18.1, Predator 18.2 and Predator 18.3 are identical, saving Adidas likely not only a bit of money and time in development / production and giving you great traction for a remarkable low price. The external heel counter and the materials used for the sole plate are not identical, however.

Adidas Predator 18+

Replacing the Adidas Ace 17+ Purecontrol, the Adidas Predator 18+ is the most modern boot available in the 2018 Adidas Predator range and the first-ever Predator to feature a laceless design. Compared to the Adidas Ace 17+ Purecontrol, the Adidas Predator 18+ also comes with typical Predator rubber elements for even more ball control and swerve.

The laceless Adidas Predator 18+ football boot is also available as Indoor version and Turf Version for small-sided football.

Adidas Predator 18.1

Retailing at €50 less than the laceless Predator 18+ is the Predator 18.1, which offers traditional lacing.

Adidas Predator 18.2

Next up is the Adidas Predator 18.2, which features a Primemesh upper. It retails at €150.

Adidas Predator 18.3

Retailing at €80, the Adidas Predator 18.3 is available for no less than five ground types.

Adidas Predator 18.4

The most cheap and by far the worst boot is the Adidas Predator 18.4 - retailing at €55, it doesn't have a lot in common with the other Predator cleats. Is is the only cleat with a cheap standard sole plate, a standard synthetic upper and a control stitching instead of rubber elements on the upper.

QPR Kit Clash Against West Brom

QPR faced a major kit clash in their EFL Championship away game at West Brom, wearing their pink away shirt with blue shorts against West Brom's traditional blue-and-white home shirt.

The bright pink of QPR looked surprisingly similar to the white stripes of West Brom on TV, while the blue shorts and dark details made the overall contrast even less clear.

From the wide camera angle, the two teams became difficult to distinguish, creating a frustrating viewing experience for fans.

Nike Kobe 8 Protro 'Mambacurial' Releasing Next Week

Nike is set to officially bring back one of its most famous crossover designs, the Kobe 8 Protro "Mambacurial", releasing on September 19, 2026. First introduced in 2013 as a tribute to Kobe Bryant's lifelong passion for football, the sneaker drew direct inspiration from the vibrant 2013 Nike Mercurial Vapor IX football boot. Thirteen years after its original debut, the model returns under the modernized Protro banner, uniting basketball performance with iconic football heritage. Big thanks to House of Heat.

The shoe faithfully recreates the beloved colorway, featuring a bold gradient across the engineered mesh upper in Red Plum, Pink Flash, and Electric Green. Signature football details define the look, including the oversized forefoot Swoosh that mimics Mercurial boot branding, massive block-letter "NIKE" lettering across the medial flank, and a translucent neon green outsole. Modern Protro upgrades have been implemented beneath the surface to provide improved cushioning and traction.

SK Brann Kvinner 26-27 Third Kit Released

Norwegian Toppserien side SK Brann Kvinner have officially unveiled their new 26-27 third kit, produced by Nike in collaboration with Unisport. The team debuted the vibrant new design during their away fixture against Lyn in Oslo.

The Nike SK Brann Kvinner 26-27 third shirt features a purple base paired with a large, dark rhododendron flower graphic printed across the front. The design honors Bergen's reputation as Norway's "Rhododendron City," known for the vibrant bushes that flourish in gardens and parks across the city. All branding, including the Nike Swoosh, monochrome Brann crest, and sponsor logos, is applied in a contrasting bright pink.

On the back, the jersey includes the inscription "For Bergen" in gothic lettering just below the collar, symbolizing the pride of representing the city on away trips. The new third uniform completes Brann Kvinner's 26-27 wardrobe alongside their traditional red home and dark away kits.

Special Club América 26-27 Kit Font Released

Club América has unveiled a special commemorative kit font for the 26-27 season, celebrating Mexican Independence Day and the club's marquee Clásico matches throughout September. The bespoke nameset replaces the regular squad typography on the back of Las Águilas' primary yellow home shirt, adopting the iconic green, white, and red of the Mexican flag.

The custom numbers feature a deep green base detailed with thin white vertical pinstripes. Embedded along the vertical lines are historic commemorative inscriptions, including the club name, the date "16 - 09 - 1810" marking the start of the Mexican War of Independence, and "INDEPENDENCIA DE MÉXICO". The player names above are rendered in vibrant red with a clean white outline.

To complete the patriotic design, each numeral incorporates a geometric red and cream 3D shadow effect, alongside Club América's crest placed at the base of every digit. The special typography delivers a unique cultural tribute, adding extra identity to the squad's jerseys during one of the most important periods of the Mexican football calendar.
