Zinedine Zidane has caught the attention of boot spotters worldwide by making an unexpected switch during France's latest training session at Clairefontaine. Instead of wearing his customary Adidas Predator boots, the Les Bleus head coach stepped onto the pitch wearing the Three Stripes' flagship speed silo, the Adidas F50.
Zidane Laces Up Adidas F50 Boots
Photographs from the session show Zidane actively involved with the ball while wearing the F50 from the recent 'Final Rush' pack. The boots feature a distinct 'Pulse Mint' upper complemented by deep navy Three Stripes across the lateral side and striking vibrant detailing extending toward the soleplate and heel.
The boot choice marks a rare departure from tradition for the French maestro. Zidane is inextricably linked with the Predator franchise, having defined multiple generations of the control cleat from the Predator Accelerator and Precision to the Mania and Absolute.
Only days ago, he was spotted conducting France sessions in the exclusive Predator 26 'ZZ30' edition, celebrating his three-decade partnership with Adidas.
Seeing one of football's greatest playmakers trade his signature control silo for a pair of modern lightweight speed boots is certainly an eye-catching development. Whether this is merely a casual try-out or a permanent rotation into the F50 line remains to be seen, but it is undoubtedly one of the most surprising boot choices of the year.
