after unveiling two classic re-releases for the 20th anniversary of the predator soccer boot, adidas wraps up the three-part revenge instinct pack by recreating one of the best cleats of all time: the predator mania. presented as the ‘predator instinct mania’, the shoe comes back to life after sitting on the shelf for over 10 years. most will remember the original red, black and white boot for its supple kangaroo leather upper, sculpted heel cup with iconic silhouette, the elastic tongue strap and most notably, for providing ball superb ball accuracy with three extruding rubber grips on the instep of the shoe.

like the previous predator instinct accelerator edition, new features have been seamlessly implemented into the redesign of the predator instinct mania without compromising aesthetics. examples include a ‘control frame’, which extends around the boot and down onto the forefoot to ensure ultimate levels of grip, touch and control of the ball, and a TPU outsole to provide greater flexibility of movement on the pitch. precision engineered materials have also been integrated to deliver optimum control and comfort.
