Adidas Predator Absolute Gold Black SG
New without box
The Upper:
- Continuing on from the previous few models, Adidas stayed with a silky smooth K Leather upper, and also added a synthetic line for the first time with the Absolute. This pair features the K Leather upper
- The iconic fold over tongue with the elastic was continued as well. A slight change from the Predator Pulse, but very similar
- Adidas changed the swerve element, adding 3 larger grooves instead of 6 smaller ones featured on the pulse
- Adidas also introduced the interchangeable insoles with the PowerPulse element, and a lighter weight option as well
The Sole Plate:
- Continuing with the two piece sole plate, Adidas didn't change much from the Pulse
- A see through spot for the PowerPulse was added where you could physically see the Power Pulse insoles
Notes and Opinions:
- Often a bit overlooked, the Absolute had probably the softest K Leather upper. Yes, K Leather was used on various other models, but in the absolute it just feels buttery soft, more so than the other models
- If these were the boots of your childhood, then you remember everyone having a pair of these at some point
- Tons of legends including Becks, Ballack, Gerrard, Van der Saar and many more had them as well
