Adidas Predator Powerswerve Confederations Cup SG

Adidas Predator Powerswerve Confederations Cup SG

New with Box

Classic Predator Powerswerve from 2009, worn by the likes of many pros at the time.  Often regarded as the last true Pred and one of the best Predators ever made.  This specific colorway was made for the 2009 Confederations Cup, with a unique design on the tongue, sock liner, and insole!

The Upper:

• Continuing on from the previous few models, Adidas stayed with a silky smooth K Leather upper, and also added a new synthetic line.  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 and Predator Absolute but very similar
• The main upgrade was the Predator element in the  Swerve soon.  A larger area of the rubber element with 6 grooves added for extra Power, Swerve, and Control
• The PowerPulse technology featured a sand element in the insoles, adding more power.  Did it really work?  Who knows, but everyone still remembers it!

The Sole Plate:

• Continuing with the two piece sole plate, Adidas didn't change much from the Pulse and Absolute model
• A see through spot for the PowerPulse was added where you could physically see the sand move with the boots

Notes and Opinions:

• The Powerswerve quickly became one of the most iconic Preds with the introduction of their newest PowerPulse technology
• It seemed everyone had to have a pair back in the day, and even the pros couldn't resist
• Tons of legends including Becks, Ballack, Gerrard, Van der Saar and many more had them as well
