Full details
Designed for adult male players, the adidas Predator Precision Street Football Boots in Core Black offer a blend of iconic heritage and modern performance for street and casual wear.

FAQs
Are these boots suitable for natural grass football pitches?
No, these boots are specifically designed for street football and hard, flat surfaces. The low-profile outsole does not provide adequate grip or support for natural grass pitches.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher grime, a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid soaking or using harsh cleaning agents. Apply a leather conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness.
What is Lightstrike cushioning?
Lightstrike is an advanced cushioning technology from adidas that provides a lightweight and responsive feel, designed to enhance comfort and energy return during play.
Can I wear these for indoor futsal?
While not a dedicated futsal shoe, the non-marking outsole offers good grip on indoor courts. However, the upper is designed for outdoor street play and may not offer the same breathability as a true futsal shoe.
How does the fit compare to modern football boots?
These boots feature a classic fit with a soft leather upper that molds to the foot. They offer a comfortable, less constrictive feel compared to some modern boots with synthetic, locked-down uppers.
What makes the forefoot 'swerve-enhancing'?
The integrated SL rubber grip elements on the forefoot are designed to increase friction with the ball, allowing players to impart more spin and achieve greater swerve on their shots and passes.
What is the main difference between the 'Street' version and other Predator models?
The 'Street' version is optimized for hard, non-grass surfaces with a specific low-profile outsole and often a more casual aesthetic. Other Predator models may be designed for firm ground, artificial grass, or indoor play with different soleplate configurations.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight initially
The leather upper will stretch and conform to your foot with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. Ensure laces are not overtightened.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
The low-profile outsole is designed for dry, hard surfaces. Traction may be reduced on wet or slippery ground. Consider alternative footwear for very wet conditions.
Leather shows signs of drying or cracking
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to restore moisture and flexibility. Ensure the boots are not exposed to excessive heat during drying.
Outsole grips feel worn down quickly
This may indicate extensive use on abrasive surfaces. The material is designed for durability on street surfaces, but excessive friction will lead to wear over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they are laced to your preferred tightness using the traditional lace closure system.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for hard, flat surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, and artificial turf courts. They are *not* recommended for use on natural grass pitches (firm or soft ground) due to the low-profile outsole design.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, gently brush off any loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For more stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Leather Maintenance: To maintain the suppleness of the leather upper, consider using a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear periodically.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
