Adidas Predator Pulse 2 DB Fingerprint - Y

Adidas Predator Pulse DB Fingerprint - Y

New with box

Released in 2004 the Predator Pulse was an instant hit, continuing the legacy of the famous Predator line.  Prior to the Pulse was the Mania, which is often considered one of the greatest boots by many.  With big shoes to fill, the Pulse had some major changes compared to the previous model.  

The Upper:

• Adidas continued the Predator Pulse with a premium K Leather upper
• A newly crafted tongue was designed with a bit thicker of an elastic to keep a nice, snug fit
• Adidas used thicker, more elevated stripes compared to the last model, but kept a similar look with the stripes wrapping underneath the boots
• In terms of the Predator element, Adidas crafted a 6 piece rubber design for increased power and swerve.

The Sole Plate:

• Adidas introduced the PowerPulse technology with the Pulse
• The PowerPulse was supposed to help with weight distribution, making the boot more comfortable and increasing power based on the distribution
• The overall sole plate was similar to the mania, with a 2 piece design and a bladed TRX stud pattern

Notes and Comments:

• The Predator Pulse had big shoes to fill after the success of the iconic Mania
• The Pulse is one of the best Predators ever made, and was the debut for signature DB colorways while at Real Madrid
• There were significantly more colorways of the Pulse made from the previous model, showing how Adidas had taken a creative leap during this time period
• This was a signature DB colorway, worn exclusively by Becks.
• The Adidas logo was featured on one boot, but the other had the famous DB logo

A few things to note:

• Soleplate features some yellowing.  This is highly common on this particular pair due to aging.  As an educated guess, at least 95% of pairs in existence today have this. No effect on durability or performance.  
• Prices vary by size.
• Prices are subject to change at any point.
