Adidas Predator Absolute DB Blue HG

Adidas Predator Absolute DB Blue HG

New without box - unidentified signature on both boots, elastics are stretched.

The Upper:

• Newly introduced from the Previous Predator model, the Absolute was the first Predator made with a synthetic Polyurethane upper
• Only the signature DB designs were made in the synthetic version
• The iconic fold over tongue with the elastic was continued as well
• Super unique accents inspired by Becks run throughout the boots, a signature DB touch that was only an option for Beckham to customize 

The Sole Plate:

• Continuing with the two piece sole plate, Adidas didn't change much from the Pulse model
• Adidas did offer a lightweight insole as well as an added PowerPulse insole
• This is the HG (Hard Ground) sole plate, which used slightly thicker studs and an added stud in the middle for ideal traction on hard surfaces

Notes and Opinions:

• Beckham clearly preferred the synthetic upper.  Once it was introduced, he never went back to the leather uppers
• Nonetheless, it worked out great for everyone, it meant Adidas would now make their classic leather lines as well as a new synthetic upper line
• An iconic colorway as worn by David Beckham in the 2006 World Cup
