Seeing as he has been the poster boy of Adidas for over a decade now, you know Adidas are going to create a personalized version of the new Predator for David Beckham! We spotted the new Gold adiPower Predator DB a few weeks back when Beckham took the field for Gary Neville’s testimonial. it was only fitting that he debuted the release on the field where he made his name – Old Trafford.

After having the opportunity to review them, the adiPower Predator currently sits proudly atop of the review scores page – a testament to the overall value and performance of the new lightweight/power hybrid. Holding a pair of the 7.8oz boots makes it difficult to comprehend how they could still fall into the power category, but I can tell you after testing that they have everything that you could require and more.

Adidas has completely reworked the Predator Element, with the result receiving much applause from all levels of player. The only concern I had while testing lay in the break-in period, which took a little longer than I anticipated, primarily due to the inclusion of a PowerSpine soleplate.

I actually made it out to the LA Galaxy vs Toronto game last week and got to see Beckham in the boots first hand. I am not personally sold on the colorway, but I must admit that I thought it complimented the Galaxy home kit. The Collegiate Red Metallic/Gold Metallic/Black is a boot that really stands out, and they have the full effect on Beckham. On a final note, Adidas have also just released a Running White/Black/Sharp Blue colorway.

The red and white version has been designed to honor David Beckham, who will wear the boot when he comes back from injury. It is a pretty flashy boot and will be easily spotted on the field. In comparison, the Black/White/Cyan version offers a more classic look that I actually really like. In fact, it is my preferred choice in the entire range. The cyan color really compliments the primary black color.
Last October, I reviewed the Adidas Predator X and was impressed by what they offered. When you have players like Steven Gerrard and Robin Van Persie wearing them, you know that they have a high quality about them. What are your thoughts on the current releases and if you had a choice which one would you go for?

A new version of the Adidas Predator X is available to buy, and it comes compliments of David Beckham!

After Reviewing the Predator X, I came to the following conclusion: not only is the Adidas Predator X my choice for ‘Surprise cleat of the year’, but it will also fall into the ‘Best Release of 2009’ category! Not only do these cleats look good, but they also offer great comfort and quality. To find out more about the Predator X, check out our full review!
