Possibly the most beloved football boots of all time (because of THAT goal in the 2002 UCL final scored by Zidane while wearing them at the time), the Adidas Predator Mania boots are officially being re-released.
20 years ago, Roberto Carlos ran down the left wing as Real Madrid tried to regain the advantage over Bayern Leverkusen in the 2002 UCL final. Carlos crossed the ball high into the air before it was perfectly met on the volley by Zinedine Zidane’s left foot who buried it into the top left corner, winning Madrid’s 9th UCL title.
On that day, Zidane was wearing the classic Predator Mania boots and that singular goal became one of the most famous to ever be scored in Europe. The Adidas Predator Mania boots were immortalised with a singular swing of Zidane’s left foot.
To celebrate 20 years since that memorable goal, Adidas are re-releasing the Predator Mania boots that were worn by Zidane at the time.
The new special release sees the boot make a comeback in the classic Predator colurway of red, black and white. Over the years, the Predator has come in a variety of colours but the red, black and white are the staples.
Other colourways include the Champagne shade which was notably worn by David Beckham. A remake of this design was released by Adidas a few years ago.
It’s currently unknown right now whether Adidas will be releasing this anniversary boot in other colours other than the classic red, black and white.
What is known to us is that the relaunched Predator Mania will be available via the Adidas webstore from Sunday July 10.
To help announce the anniversary and return of these specific boots, it feel right that Adidas enlisted Zidane to help and even recreate the original photoshoot.
