Today, adidas unveils the latest chapter of its ongoing ‘Chaos vs Control’ story, introducing striking new colourways for the iconic F50 and Predator franchises. Designed for football’s biggest moments, the latest pack continues the rivalry between speed and precision, inviting players everywhere to choose their side: cause chaos with F50 or take control with Predator.
The Predator Elite FT arrives in a bold new colourway, pairing a predominantly black upper with crisp white Three Stripes and striking mint-green accents. Built for players who dictate the game through control and precision, the boot combines standout aesthetics with cutting-edge performance technology.
The Predator features NANOSTRIKE+, an innovative mesh upper that combines softness, lightweight performance and integrated grip elements to support precision striking. The iconic FOLD-OVER TONGUE creates an optimal striking surface, while the STRIKEFRAME outsole enhances traction and rotational agility. Completing the design is POWERSPINE, delivering added midfoot stability for powerful strikes when the game is on the line.
Alongside Predator, adidas introduces a refreshed F50 Elite, featuring a vibrant green colourway complemented by dark Three Stripes, subtle yellow detailing and an iridescent outsole finish. Engineered for players who thrive in chaos and create game-changing moments through explosive pace, the F50 continues to push the boundaries of speed-focused innovation.
The F50 Elite includes a FIBERTOUCH UPPER that delivers lightweight support and cushioning only where needed, alongside SPRINTWEB, a high-definition 3D texture designed to enhance ball control at top speed. The COMPRESSIONFIT TUNNEL TONGUE provides secure lockdown for multidirectional movement, while the SPRINTFRAME 360 outsole is engineered to maximize acceleration and speed in every direction

The latest release continues adidas’ invitation to players across the globe to ‘choose one’. Predator is built for those who control the rhythm of the game through composure, precision and accuracy, while F50 is designed for those who embrace unpredictability and create moments of brilliance through pace and instinct.
