Having debuted it originally against Manchester City earlier in the season when announcing his switch to the brand, adidas have now officially launched the limited edition Trent Alexander-Arnold signature edition Predator 24, known as ‘Pure Strike’.
Back in November of last year, Trent Alexander-Arnold made headlines by announcing his departure from Under Armour and subsequent signing with adidas in emphatic fashion when he slammed home an equalizer against Manchester City. The goal itself was a fine strike, purely hit into the bottom corner from just inside the box. But the goal just served to highlight the boots that Trent was wearing – a special edition colourway of the at-the-time unreleased Predator 24. Questions were swirling around its appearance: was it a signature edition? Was it a custom job? Would it get a wider release? Well now, almost six months later, we get our answers, with the launch of the adidas Predator 24 x TAA ‘Pure Strike’ edition.
The design of the boot sees an all-white base contrasted with bold red stripes cascading along the sides, capped by the signature red fold-over tongue. Like the recent Y-3 edition, Trent’s 'Pure Strike' edition keeps the emphasis on that favored and nostalgia-heavy addition.
Speaking about the boots, Alexander-Arnold said: "When I was growing up, I watched a lot of my idols playing in some of the iconic Predator boots over the years. So, to have fallen in love with this boot, and to play in this colour in particular, is a dream come true. I cannot wait to get back on the pitch and test them out as soon as I can."
The ‘Pure Strike’ edition of the Predator 24 is the latest in a line of special and regular edition drops to have been released since the next generation boot debuted just before Christmas 2023, with each one maintaining an incredible standard that’s seen mass approval from all sectors.
