Adidas Predator Mania "Gunmetal" 2023 Remake Boots - April Fool's Joke

Update: Unfortunately, the gunmetal Adidas Predator Mania football boots will never be released. They were an April Fool's joke by @trevdunphy. We have no information that Adidas will release any Mania remakes in 2023.

Adidas are going to rerelease another colorway of the Predator Mania 2002 football boots, it has been leaked by @trevdunphy. The new silver Adidas Predator Mania 2023 remake soccer cleats are inspired by the "Gunmetal" 2002 colorway.

The "Gunmetal" Adidas Predator Mania 2002 soccer cleats are less famous than the OG and the white colorway but are especially loved by Predator fans. Beckham and Zidane certainly were the most famous players to wear them.

The official name of the Adidas Predator 2023 remake football boots is not known yet.

Adidas Predator Mania 'Gunmetal' - Silver/Red/White

Here are the new Adidas 'Gunmetal' Predator Mania cleats.

The new Adidas Predator Mania Gunmetal football shoes are a direct remake of the 'Gunmetal' Adidas Predator Mania 2002 football shoes. They combine a dark metallic silver upper with red and black applications.

Compared to the original cleats, there are some minor visual differences. The Three Stripes and the Adidas logo are white and not silver, while the studs are silver with only minor red detailing.

Tech-wise, the new 'Silver/Red/White' Adidas Predator Mania 2023 remake football boots are very close to the original. The upper is virtually identical, while the sole plate is the one of the Adidas Predator from 2020 & 2021 (used by Predator Mutator and Predator Freak).

Galatasaray 26-27 Kit Launch Delayed - Coming July 2026

Galatasaray's 2026-27 kit launch faces a potential delay, pushing the release date back to July. Initially, reports from kit insider @Formaholic indicated that the club had advanced the presentation to June 25. However, recent updates suggest that the launch will likely revert to its original July timeframe.

The delay is reportedly due to logistical issues, specifically concerning the readiness of the new kit fonts and the club's desire to have players participate in the launch event. Earlier this month, it was revealed that Galatasaray would be moving away from the standard Arial font. The new typeface is expected to be similar to the one featured on a recent special Leroy Sane kit.

FIFA Changes Brazil Goalkeeper Kit for Scotland Match

FIFA has implemented a late change to Brazil's goalkeeper kit for their 2026 World Cup Group C encounter with Scotland. Initially slated to wear a red outfit, the Brazilian goalkeeper will now wear green for the match on June 24.
