adidas Predator Finishers Steel – Lighter, stronger, and built for control
The adidas Predator is back - and it’s arriving in style. Introducing the Predator Finishers Steel, the special launch edition that sets the stage for the next-generation Predator to be used in 2026. This boot is all about one thing: game-changing control.
A Modern Throwback
Visually, Finishers Steel takes clear inspiration from the iconic Gunmetal look from 2003. The silver base combined with red and white accents brings instant nostalgia, while subtle design lines echo the legendary Predator Precision (2004). And for the purists: this edition comes exclusively in FT (Fold-Over Tongue) - an unmistakable Predator hallmark.
Tech Upgrades: Built for Precision and Power
The 2026 Predator introduces major updates under the hood:
NANOSTRIKE+ Upper
A brand-new upper construction combining:
- Exceptional softness
- Feather-light feel
- Integrated rubber grip elements on the inside of the upper
This replaces the StrikeSkin fins seen on the 2025 Predator, offering a cleaner, more controlled strike zone.
POWERSPINE Returns
First introduced in 2011 on the Predator X, POWERSPINE is back - and better.
This full-length, ultra-light plate stiffens the midfoot when striking, reducing flex and maximizing shot power. Expect stronger, more stable contact every time you hit the ball.
The outsole also features an updated STRIKEFRAME with improved stud alignment for sharper traction and rotational agility.
Design Details
- Wavy, reworked Three Stripes reminiscent of Predator Precision
- A sculpted silhouette shaped by the new tech
- Fold-over tongue delivering a clean, distraction-free strike zone
The Predator Philosophy: Control Re-Defined
adidas built the new Predator for players who dictate the pitch. The NANOSTRIKE+ upper molds around the foot for total fit and precision, while mesh quarters, microfiber lining, and a PRIMEKNIT collar enhance comfort and breathability. Every element works together to create a boot tailored for today’s finishing-focused attacker.
