Arriving as a vibrant drop to match the spring sunshine, adidas have officially revealed the ‘Celestial Victory’ pack. All three silos –Predator, F50 and Copa – model some bold new visuals, bringing a bright spark to the back end of the season.
We are getting used to having a new adidas drop every couple weeks, all hits no misses. The Three Stripes are back again with another pack of the ‘Victory’ series, this time with all three silos in a disruptive colourway. ‘Celestial Victory’ highlights bravery and flair (something we would love to see more of in the modern game) by using striking visuals and colours that make up a bold new look. The ‘celestial’ acts as inspiration, using design patterns embodying the sky and outer space.
The Predator 25 fashions an official colourway of “White/Lucid Pink/Lucid Lemon”, attracting a daring audience. It’s clear to see with this release that adidas are diving into colour combinations that they are yet to play with, with vivid pops of colour. The ‘Hybridtouch’ upper models a white base, featuring touches of pink and yellow across detailing and branding. The renowned rubber fins that make up the 'Strikeskin' on the instep are painted in ‘Lucid Yellow’, whilst the iconic three stripe branding dons the ‘Lucid Pink’. You won’t be able to miss the soleplate as the same vibrant yellow makes up the entirety of the design, other than the ‘Predator’ branding which add touches of black. Subtle blue accents can also be seen across the boot.
Maybe the most disruptive of the pack, the F50 arrives in an electric “Blue Fusion/Lucid Lemon/Lucid Pink”. The ‘Fibretouch’ upper features gradient design, fading a smooth blue into pink near the toe of the boot. Vivid pink also takes over the tongue and F50 branding on the lateral and medial side. The iconic Three Stripes stick with the gradient patterns, blending the ‘Lucid Pink’ into a ‘Lucid Yellow’. Electric yellow travels across the soleplate before fusing into another gradient.
Not to be forgotten, the latest model of Copa sees a classic boot painted into a futuristic design. Fashioning a “Halo Blue/Blue Fusion/Lucid Lemon” colourway, the soft upper takes on a blue-ish silver shade, wrapping around the toe and either side of the boot. Other detailing on the boot plays with a blue theme – a deeper blue conquering the three stripes and tongue, as well as outlining the soleplate.
