'Pass' is the next Lethal Zoneto be revealed on the adidas Predator LZ football boots. The memory foam on the medial side of the boot ensures consistency of passing, and a 3-D sticky print with large surface area increases ball contact time for more precise passing.

The three stripes have recruited some of their top athletes including Kaka, Robin Van Persie, Nani, Samir Nasri and Xavi who are all sporting the special edition white-out football boots, which just have the relevant Lethal Zones highlighted.



With the 'Pass' zone revealed, let's remind ourselves of the first three zones so we can start to build a picture of what to expect from the adidas Predator LZ.

'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. '' is the raised and thicker 3-D shape on the inside of the boot, which follows the natural shape of the instep to create a rebound effect for greater distance and power. 'Sweet Spot' is the smaller surface area on the medial side of the boot that generates greater spin and pace.
