Adidas Janessa 1998 Predator Black FG
New with box and original booklet
The Upper:
- The Janessa model was a women's boot released alongside the Predator Accelerator and Maneeta in 1998, using a full leather upper and no rubber vamps as featured on the Pred models
- The upper uses the same exact fold over tongue, in blue, as well as stripes that are sort of a hybrid between the touch and accel stripes
- Instead of the rubber vamps, it is a full K leather upper with a unique stitching pattern throughout the toe box area, that runs along the sides of the boots as well
The Sole Plate:
- The TRX sole plate was used with the same exact stud configuration and layout
- The sole plate uses a white shell, instead of the more translucent look the accelerator used
- The boots also feature the Feet You Wear insole, look closely at the last pic
Notes and Comments:
- An insanely rare 90s artifact by Adidas. I'm sure many have never seen or even heard of this boot, it was a first for me as well
- The boots are preserved perfectly, still factory laced and as brand new as they were in 1998. They even have original sales stickers from the previous shop they came from!
- The upper on them is very soft, much softer than an accel upper, and the stripes are made of the same softer material, not as stiff as the accels. The sole plate might look unique, but it is the exact same as the accelerator, just a different color.
- Women's colorway, listed in Men's Size
