Manchester United’s Paul Pogba has given us a tantalizing glimpse of the next generation adidas Predator in its vibrant launch colorway. Fresh from leading Manchester United to the top of the Premier League, Pogba showcased the new boots during training, revealing a striking blue, black, and volt color scheme. This update comes after months of seeing the boots only in their prototype, blacked-out version.

The new Predator appears to be a significant evolution from its predecessors, particularly the Predator Mutator. The design features more pronounced Demonskin spikes that extend up the foot towards the ankle and across the Primeknit tongue. This more aggressive, animalistic aesthetic hints at an entirely new dynamic for the Predator series.

Pogba’s reveal aligns with a wave of new colorways for other adidas boots, such as the Nemeziz sported by Roberto Firmino and the X Ghosted seen on Gabriel Martinelli. This suggests that a comprehensive pack drop is imminent. However, the next-generation COPA, which has also been glimpsed in prototype form, remains under wraps, and it’s unclear whether it will be part of this upcoming release.
