Pre-Order for November 18th Release. Includes Free Pro Round Clip in Studs and Free exclusive adidas Ankle Guard worth £13.98.

This limited edition colourway of the newly released Predator +Absolute will undoubtedly become one of the most iconic boots of season 2005/06.

The boot features the newly engineered Predator technology and exchangeable PowerPulse to allow the boots to be ‘customised’ to a players individual power or pace requirements.This incredibly powerful boot features the Clip-In Stud quick change stud system for ease of use and adaptability.
The Predator +Absolute can also use the pro ‘Clip-In Round’ stud which is designed as a classically rounded shaped stud as found on traditional Screw-In Studs. This combines the full weight distribution and gripping advantages of the anatomic soleplate with the traditional ‘Round’ stud application

Kaka : AC Milan and Brazil 'I’ve already been testing the new +Predator Absolute for a couple of months now and I’m really excited. The exchangeable PowerPulse really is a great innovation! I can’t wait to put these boots on for an official match.'

As the build up to World Cup 2006 intensifies adidas proudly presents its brand new version of the Predator® football boot. The new +Predator® Absolute features a revolutionary Exchangeable PowerPulse™ technology, allowing players to add power to every shot. An easy swap of its PowerPulse™ sockliner turns the boot into the lightest Predator® ever. That versatility along with an all-new state-of-the-art design has made the world’s most famous football boot even better than ever before. Players such as David Beckham, Zinédine Zidane, Kaká, Raúl, Frank Lampard and Patrick Vieira will all be wearing the +Predator® Absolute at the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

The eighth Predator® generation is the most accurate, lightest and most powerful ever made. The Low-profile engineered Predator® elements have been integrated into the Power Zone on top of the forefoot for even more power behind every shot, whilst enhanced Predator® technology in the Swerve Zone at the side continues to give shots and passes the power, swerve and accuracy that have made this the world’s most elite football boot for over a decade.

Um, mate, the pro pack is a different thing. It includes some other stuff, supposed to sweeten the deal i guess. I know it took me a minute to figure it out as well.

What is a sockliner and is it that that you change or the soles?

I'm not 100% certain but I think the sockliner is the 'exchangable Powerpulse' so if you want more power you put the sockliner in, if you prefer a lighter boot you take the sockliner out, easy peasy!

i know what it means, there only 2 colors, 4 options, i know bout the round studs but im not allowed blades so now i get to be allowed preds

I thought the black and the black/white/red were different, like the black would be all black.

^ so rong...

So thats why the pics of the 7406 have those stupid looking sg studs in them. Why arent you kids allowed to wear blades? Id ban metal studs before i banned blades. Its not like circular studs make a difference when someone drives them into your leg.

I play rugby and the round studs are KILLER and id prefer XTRX blades on my back because they dont hurt at all.

blades not allowed coz if you plant your foot you cant turn properly, you twist your ankle, could break ligaments, sg studs allow yo to turn a full circle.

Yeh, me too. I'd much rather be stepped on by xtrx than huge metal rugby studs.

I get the supposed logic behind the reason but i dont agree with it. If you have two circular studs next to each other thier combined rigidity will still make you twist your ankle. I dont think its really an issue, you learn to run in boots so that doesnt happen.

i already have them
the only difference is they look different and everybody gets excited if they see you with them. Now that alot of boots are becomming lightweight it's just all about what is catching to the eye. Absolutes catch the eye. My old preds feel exactly the same. In my opinion the new puma's and the F50+'s are the best looking boots and i would trade my absolutes in for a pair of all black F50+'s any day.

They come out on my bday!

Those look amazing...might have to pick up a pair

Here's a pic of the Red n black ones

and here's the white n gold

Not a fan of em to be honest i think the pulse looked better, but I wear f50's anyway.

Well i guess i would wait for the 7406. They look class and are supposedly to replace Copa Mundials and World cups.
I hope that they are better than Copas and World cups(I own them and they are great) cuz that would make a briliant boot IMO.

But, the 7406's are Calf leather...

still...so are the F50+s and they are class! i think the leather on these boots will be just as good as any kangaroo leather.

you can pre order absolutes from www.justsocca.com and they are cheaper than pds

Word. No one believes me but.



Lets not do this again.

THEY WILL NOT BE BETTER THEN COPAS OR CUPs!!!!!!! I WILL DIE BEFORE I SEE A BETTER MODEL BOOT IN THIS AGE!!!!!!!

But on a more sane note, and i doubt they will be better then copas, or out popular them. Maybe in America or UK or what ever, but some Germans recently came to my football club, and they said that the Copa is still by far the most popular boot in german.

So nyah!

Ken

Perhaps or high chance that it not good or better than the Copas or World Cups cuz it would be tough to make a better pair of boots than those.
Stil i would wait for the release and see how it goes ...
