adidas Predator Precision XTRX FG 2000
Comes with no box or bootbag. Bought from professional footballer Lee Sharpe (has Sharpy written on the sole plate).
Adidas released the Predator Precision in 2000, right in time for the Euro Championship that summer. It was the fifth rendition of the Predator boots to be released and it ended up being the first version where we really saw Adidas modify the shooting technology. Rather than the block rubber panels, they switched to a more trimmed down rib design. Separate panels were placed across the forefoot surface with the intent of providing extra spin on the ball. The fins offered some flex and could easily mold around the shape of the ball as it impacted the boots surface.
The Predator Precision has always stood out as one of the most iconic versions in the range and even now they still hold that “true power boot with extreme attitude” feel about them. From the floppy, fold over tongue to the elongated Adidas stripes on the side of the boot, they represent an era when players wanted a heavy duty boot that worked in unison with their footwork and stood up to any challenges the game had to throw at them.
Worn by greats such as Zidane, Del Piero and Beckham. Famously worn in this exact model by David Trezeguet as he scored the golden goal to win France the European Championship in 2000, these boots are some of the rarest on the planet.
