adidas Freak Predator Freak+ - Black / Team Royal Blue / Solar Yellow / White
This photo shows the new adidas Freak Predator Freak+ 2021 soccer boots in 'Black / Team Royal Blue / Solar Yellow / White'.
Adidas' new Freak Predator boots have an aggressive design. The new 'Black / Team Royal Blue / Solar Yellow / White' adidas PREDATOR Freak.1 boots combine a blue / black upper with striking yellow for the rubber pads and white for the Three Stripes.
The 3 Stripes wrap around the foot in a more dramatic appearance that looks back to Adidas classics such as the 1998 Predator Acceleator and the 2000 Predator Precision.
360° Demonskin upper
A rather big upgrade from the previous gen, the Adidas Predator Freak introduces an enhanced "360° coverage" of the Demonskin upper with its characteristic spikes. According to Adidas, this was done to "enable superior control and increased ball swerve."
"From first wear, I knew adidas had created something special with their DEMONSKIN material. As soon as I touched the ball, I really felt a difference in the way my foot connected. I’m happy my experience with it so far has impacted the new PREDATOR design.” Says Manchester United’s Paul Pogba.
The collar of the new Adidas Predator Freak 2021 cleats is also different, featuring a new split design - allowing for a greater range of movement and making the boots more versatile in terms of different foot shapes.

Puma Kits Keep Ripping at the 2026 World Cup
Puma is facing significant criticism at the 2026 World Cup as multiple national team jerseys have easily ripped during matches.
Incidents involving players from Czechia, Morocco, Egypt, and Paraguay have highlighted an ongoing durability issue with the brand's latest kits - every torn shirt in the tournament so far belongs to a Puma-sponsored team.
The Puma 2026 World Cup kits incorporate the latest version of PUMA's ULTRAWEAVE “Thermoadapt” technology, which obviously is not tear-resistant enough.
The recurring wardrobe malfunctions have resulted in terrible PR for the German sportswear manufacturer and even prompted the viral resurgence of Xherdan Shaqiri's infamous quote from Euro 2016, where he joked that he hopes Puma does not produce condoms.
