Adidas Predator LZ Lethal Zone Infrared FG
New with box
The Upper:
- The newly designed Predator LZ became the first Predator model to feature a full synthetic upper
- Adidas made some major changes to the strike zone, using dozens of diagonal rubber elements in the strike area for maximum power and swerve
- 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
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
