Eh, I'm on the fence. I wouldn't know what they were advertising with this image. But he wears them while playing, yet there is no image of the shoe.

:yeshrug:
You wouldn't know because either you don't play soccer and or don't wear adidas. I'm pretty sure most people who play soccer or wear adidas know what this is in reference to.

Right, if anything i'm happy to see him as the face of the shoe.


This would be like kids growing up wearing Jordans and then one of those kids becoming the face of the Jordan brand.

Exactly. Hes following in the footsteps of Zidane and Beckham who are his inspirations.

I fukk with Angela but everyone is so keen to get on their high horse that they don’t even bother doing basic research before they comment and they end up with egg on their faces.

Being misinformed and angry in 2017 is big business.

Considering the shoes were named that already :manny:

Also, considering Predator for an athlete would be a good thing...:manny:


I get it but yeah, its a reach.

Especially considering Beckham wore predators...

These advertising companies have some of the most creative minds in the world yet this is the route they take...

Black background (maybe after dark when you're coming home from work)
Upclose shot (to accentuate the facial expression)
Menacing glare (it's after dark and you're the unfortunate soul that happened to lock eyes on me)
Red font (which plays off the black background to almost give a danger vibe)

Oh by the way...no shoe in sight. You say these shoes are aimed at soccer fans...cool. Guess what? Adidas doesn't know where every soccer fan is so they're going to put these billboards random places. People will look up and this will play into conditioning them that this is the face of a menace...or predator
