ADIDAS PREDATOR LZ – VIVID YELLOW/WHITE/VIVID PINK

Posted on Thursday, February 14, 2013 in Boots

Adidas recently grabbed all the headlines when Spanish duo Fernando Torres and Juan Mata were spotted wearing the Predator LZ. They have yet to be officially confirmed as player assets but we wonder if we will soon be seeing them in this new Vivid Yellow/White/Vivid Pink colourway. Weighing just 225 grams, the LZ’s stand out feature is the five distinctive ‘lethal zones’ aimed at delivering greater ball control, touch, accuracy and power.

The ‘First Touch’ zone acts as a cushioning platform on the synthetic upper to give immediate ball contact. The inside vamp of the boot features the ‘Drive’ zone which follows the natural shape of the instep to create a rebound effect for greater distance and power. The ‘Sweet Spot’ zone on the medial side of the boot generates greater spin and pace. While the instep of the boots feature a ‘Pass’ zone with memory foam on the medial side of the boot to ensure consistency of passing. The ‘Dribble’ zone is a continuation of the SL rubber from the forefoot, to provide optimum grip on the ball for controlled dribbling.

A newly engineered Hybridtouch upper combines the benefits of leather and synthetic – comfort, stability, reduced water uptake and the highest quality feel in all weather conditions. A Sprintframe construction uses geometrical learnings and offers the perfect balance between lightweight and stability. The Sprintframe outsole provides the Predator Lethal Zones with maximum grip and optimum pressure distribution on a firm or soft ground. The Predator Lethal Zones is also the first miCoach enabled Predator boot.
