adidas Predator LZ Football Boots - Sweet Spot
Excitement is really building ahead of the full reveal and official launch of the adidas Predator LZ football boots, as adidas continue to tactically unveil the next generation Predator. The next Lethal Zone to be unveiled is the 'Sweet Spot', designed to generate greater spin and pace when striking the ball...
The adidas Predator is one of the most revolutionary football boots of all time, no other boot range has undergone quite as dramatic a change in the past 18 years. As adidas continue to evolve and develop the Predator range, they are once again entering new territory with their concept of Lethal Zones.
Such is the significance and importance of the Lethal Zones and the performance benefits they bring, that adidas have chosen to periodically unveil the new Predator LZ football boots. Already we've seen 'First Touch' and 'Drive', now adidas unveil the third of five lethal zones - the 'Sweet Spot'.
Adidas have recruited some of their top athletes including Kaka, Robin Van Persie, Nani and Xavi who are all sporting the blanked out white football boots, which just have the relevant zones highlighted.
The 'Sweet Spot' is the next Lethal Zone to be revealed, and from this technological addition to the boot upper we can expect increased spin and pace when striking the ball. The larger surface area on the medial side of the boot generates this greater spin and pace, and the base is connected with raised 3-D ribs to create an enhanced contact time on the ball.
With the 'Sweet Spot' revealed, let's remind ourselves of the first two zones so we can start to build a picture of what to expect from the fully revealed adidas Predator LZ soccer cleats. 'First Touch' are the rubber zones on the forefoot area of the boot, which act as a cushioning platform on the synthetic upper with the aim of giving immediate ball control. Whilst 'Drive' is the raised and thicker 3-D shape on the forefoot, which follows the natural shape of the instep to create a rebound effect for greater distance and power.
One of the most iconic names in football, the Predator series has been at the forefront of Powerboot design for nearly two decades. Now we're on the verge of another milestone in the boots history which will see the adidas Predator LZ combine five Lethal Zones.
Set to redefine the Predator name, let us know what you think of the adidas Predator LZ football boots from what you've seen so far, and join the conversation online, on Twitter and on Facebook.
