Oct 29, 2019, by Chris
In the next few days or weeks, Adidas will release a special collection to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the famous Predator. Now Adidas employer Sam Handy has showed off two unique Adidas Predator prototype boots on his Instagram, likely a hint at the launch of the special upcoming Predator 25-Years Anniversary collection.
Sam Handy is a British born Creative Director and Designer. He played a key role in the development of the revolutionary laceless Adidas Ace boots that were released in 2016, and that became the laceless Predator later. He is currently Vice President of Design for adidas Running.
1998 & 2000 Inspired Laceless Adidas Predator 18+ Prototype Boots
Created in 2017 during the development of the Adidas Predator 18+ football boots, the two prototypes showed off by Sam Handy feature the Predator stripes from the iconic 1998 Accelerator and 2000 Precision Predators.
Both prototypes combine a understated base color that put the contrasting Three Stripes in the center stage - one with Adidas stripes similar to the 1998 Accelerator, the other with stripes similar to the 2000 Precision.
Stay tuned for more about the upcoming Adidas Predator 25-Years Collection.
