Next-Gen Adidas Predator 20+ Debut Boots Released - Mutator Pack
Jan 21, 2020, by Chris
As announced earlier this month, Adidas just unveiled the next-gen Predator 20+ in the 'Mutator' pack colorway.
The Adidas Predator 20+ boots introduce a bold new look with 406 spikes on the upper, a higher collar and a redesigned, two-part sole plate.
Ben Herath, adidas Football Design Director said: "When we launched the first Predator in 1994, it changed the game. We’ve since been relentless in pushing the boundaries of innovation in its design, ensuring it remains at the forefront of football boot technology. Predator is more than just a boot. It is synonymous with iconic footballing moments, worn by greats of the game that in their own way have become mythological figures of the sport."
"For 2020 we wanted to unleash Predator to a new generation. We knew that we had to create something completely different, go beyond evolution and deliver a new innovation, something that would intimidate opponents. Demonskin is at the heart of this."

Part of the Adidas Mutator pack, the Adidas Predator 20 debut colorway boasts a striking raptor (predator) animal look that reminds us of the OG Adidas Predator boots from 1994.
The launch Mutator Pack paint job of the Predator is also Predator through and through - the boots are black, red and white.
Unlike what happened with the Predator from 18 to 19 , the next-gen Adidas Predator 20+ soccer boots are a major update compared to the current gen, Predator 19+. While they still have a one-piece Primeknit upper, they feature a new Demonskin upper with 406 spikes placed in the front and inside parts of the shoe, as well as a higher Sockfit collar.
The sole and heel counter are also completely new. The Adidas Predator 20+ soccer boots have a brand-new two split sole construction, which was first introduced on an Adidas boot with the Nemeziz 19 in Summer 2019.

Adidas Argentina Messi Farewell Kit Teased
Adidas and the Argentine Football Association have teased a special-edition commemorative jersey celebrating Lionel Messi for his final appearance with the national team. Following the announcement of his retirement from international duty after a legendary career spanning 207 caps and 125 goals, Messi is set to wear the bespoke design in his farewell match against Benin at the Estadio Monumental on October 6, 2026.
The unique kit departs from the traditional striping format, opting for a sky-blue base accented by a single broad white central stripe. Tonal rays inspired by the Sun of May radiate across the front and back of the torso. In a rare personal touch, Messi's signature 'M' logo replaces the traditional Adidas performance logo on the right chest in metallic gold, balanced by the gold-accented three-star Argentina crest on the left. The crew-neck collar and sleeve cuffs are finished in black with sleek gold edging.
On the reverse, the shirt features gold 'MESSI 10' printing framed by the radiant sunburst motif, topped by a small Sun of May emblem just below the rear collar. Messi previewed the shirt on social media with the message "One last match... A jersey for a lifetime," offering a fitting tribute as he prepares to close his historic international chapter.
