Next-Gen Adidas Predator 26 Prototype Boots Debuted in Premier League
- Debut: Joe Gomez debuted the Adidas Predator 2026 prototype boots in a Premier League match.
- Design: The Adidas Predator 2026 prototype features the return of the "wavy" Three Stripes, inspired by the Adidas Predator Precision from 2000, and a classic fold-over tongue.
- Release: The official launch of the Adidas Predator 2026 boots is scheduled for late 2025.
Update: In a very unusual event, Liverpool's Joe Gomez debuted his whiteout prototype of the next-generation Adidas Predator 2026 football boots in last weekend's Premier League match vs Arsenal. He apparently liked the next-generation Preds so much that he immediately wanted to wear them - the 3 Stripes brand probably gave the go-ahead.
The first on-pitch images of the next-generation Adidas Predator 2026 football boots have surfaced, giving us our first real-life look at the highly anticipated new model.
Arsenal Women's player Michelle Agyemang was spotted wearing a whiteout prototype version of the boots during a recent training session.
Next-Gen Adidas Predator 26 Boots - Prototype Whiteout Version
The next-gen Adidas Predator 2026 prototype football shoes clearly show the return of the iconic "wavy" Three Stripes, a design element directly inspired by the legendary Adidas Predator Precision from the year 2000.
The prototype also features a classic fold-over tongue, another beloved feature from past Predator models.
One key element that is still a mystery is the soleplate. The Predator 2026 is expected to feature a completely redesigned soleplate, but it is not visible in these new on-pitch images.
The new Adidas Predator 2026 boots are scheduled for an official launch in late 2025, meaning their debut is only around four months away.
