Adidas Predator Absolute Cardinal DB FG
New without box - elastics are stretched
The Upper:
- Newly introduced from the Previous Predator model, the Absolute was the first Predator made with a synthetic Polyurethane upper
- Only the signature DB designs were made in the synthetic version
- The iconic fold over tongue with the elastic was continued as well
- Super unique accents inspired by Becks run throughout the boots, a signature DB touch that was only an option for Beckham to customize
The Sole Plate:
- Continuing with the two piece sole plate, Adidas didn't change much from the Pulse model
- Adidas did offer a lightweight insole as well as an added PowerPulse insole, adding 40g to help improve power
Notes and Opinions:
- Beckham clearly preferred the synthetic upper. Once it was introduced, he never went back to the leather uppers
- Nonetheless, it worked out great for everyone, it meant Adidas would now make their classic leather lines as well as a new synthetic upper line
- Not the most popular colorway Beckham ever made, but the customization throughout the boots is truly one of the most unique pairs made
