Adidas Creates Special "PREDRI🍌" Boots ID for Pedri

Adidas has created a unique and clever set of personalized details for Spanish and FC Barcelona midfielder Pedri, which have been spotted on his recent Predator boots.

Special Predator 'PREDRI SINCE 2002' Boots ID

The special boot ID includes a custom wordmark, 'PREDRI', and a brilliant tribute to his nickname, 'Mr. Banana'.

The most prominent feature is the custom text on the side and heel of his boots. Instead of the usual branding, it reads 'PREDRI' – a clever portmanteau combining 'PREdator' and 'PeDRI'. This is accompanied by 'SINCE 2002', marking the year of his birth.

The 'PREDRI' wordmark also replaces the standard 'PREDATOR' text on the heel of the boot, as has been seen in recent matches.

Perhaps the most unique detail is a tiny banana emoji placed on the side of the boot. This is a multi-layered reference that tells a story about the player:

• Nickname: It's a nod to his nickname, 'Mr. Banana', which was popularized by his former teammate Jules Koundé.
• Homeland: It's a famous symbol of his home, the Canary Islands, which is renowned for its banana cultivation and export.
• Ambassadorship: Furthermore, since 2021, Pedri has been an official ambassador for Canary Islands Bananas (Plátano de Canarias), an organization that promotes healthy eating and carries out charitable programs.

Of course, this isn’t the first time the banana emoji has appeared on Pedri’s boots. It was already featured on his personalized Predator Accuracy (2023) and even on the Copa Sense boots back in 2022.

This is a fantastic example of personalized branding from Adidas, creating a boot ID that is not only unique but also tells a personal story about the player.
