Adidas Predator LZ Lethal Zone Black Pink SG
New with box
The Upper:
- The newly designed Predator LZ became the first Predator model to feature a full synthetic upper
- The second generation of the Lethal Zone had a similar strike area, but used dozens of "X" shaped rubber elements
- The Lethal Zone element created the largest strike zone out of any Pred yet
- The change to the synthetic upper also made the Lethal Zones very lightweight yet durable
The Sole Plate:
- Adidas changed from the iconic TRX design to a sole plate similar to the Adizero's sprint frame tech
- The sole plate was much thinner and lighter than the previous model, using triangular studs which was consistent with most Adidas models from this time
- This was the SG pro variant, using 6 screw in aluminum studs and the plastic studs
Notes and Comments:
- The lightest Pred for the time, a major adjustment from the rather bulky Predator X
- The strike zone was a work of beauty, using a series of tape like rubber elements covering maximum surface area for a larger striking area
- As worn by many legends in the later stages of their careers including Beckham, Xavi, and Gerrard
