Deadline Day Announcement By Fabrizio Romano: Pedri Completes Switch to Adidas Predator
Feb 1, 2023, by Chris
Some days ago, we reported that the Adidas Copa football boot silo is in crisis, with main ambassadors Pedri and Joao Felix not wearing them anymore. Now Adidas have very successfully changed the narrative - it is not a Copa crisis but a Predator momentum.
Adidas Teased New Predator Accuracy With Pedri Transfer Deadline Day Announcement
Spanish midfielder Pedri has made the switch from the Adidas Copa to Adidas' latest creation, the Predator Accuracy. However, the sill switch was not announced in the quiet little room...
Adidas used the transfer deadline day to announce that Pedri would be "transferring" to the upgraded power silo. Pedri rolls up in his car with the window down, and when asked what he thinks of the latest transfer responds with "Perfecto! Preds never miss."

Adidas went so far as to use transfer guru Fabrizio Romano to help spread the "breaking news".
However, there were two imperfections.
First, the picture of Pedri with the Predator Accuracy boot with laces was inaccurate, as he is actually wearing the laceless version.
Second, the news of him "transferring" to the upgraded power silo was not really news. It was already known by football boot gurus and to our readers, as he has been wearing the boots since mid/late January 2023.
Adidas Predator Accuracy: "The ultimate goal-scoring boot"
For the Adidas Predator Accuracy 2023 football boots, Adidas have once again looked to their ever-growing family of Predators for inspiration. Aesthetically both bold from far and impressive in detail, the Adidas Accuracy football boot boasts high-definition grip technology on its medial side, Hybridtouch microfiber material for comfort and protection, and is crafted with Adidas' proprietary Primeknit material for lightweight comfort.
