#148516 Each year, adidas strives to improve upon its line of Predator boots. This task only gets tougher as adidas approaches perfection with the arrival of each new season. The adidas Predator PowerSwerve TRX FG is as close to perfection as adidas has ever been. The Predator PowerSwerve TRX has reengineered Predator technology that is more integrated into the power zone for added shooting power. The Predator elements are also placed in the swerve zone for deadly passes and shots. In order to generate maximum momentum on shots, adidas included PowerPulse chambers, which are Tungsten powder filled elements that shift weight towards the point of impact as you strike the ball. With the addition of these effective and dynamic upgrades, there is till one question left unanswered: How can adidas possibly improve upon this edition of the predator?

adidas is a name that stands for excellence in all sectors of sport around the globe. The vision of company founder Adolf Dassler has become a reality, and his corporate philosophy has been the guiding principle for successor generations. The idea was as simple as it was brilliant: to provide every athlete with the best possible equipment. It all began in 1920, when Adi Dassler made his first shoes using the few materials available after the First World War. Today, the adidas product range extends from shoes, apparel, and accessories for basketball, soccer, fitness and training to adventure, trail and golf.

Customer Reviews

...now try the best!
I'm a competitive soccer player and have become a bit of a soccer shoe collector over the years.
If you're undecided about which shoe to buy, look no further. Here's why. Every other shoe I've tried is always missing something crucial. For example, the Nike Vapor's are very light, but they are awful on your feet (uncomfortable and blister heaven). The adidas Adipure II is way too narrow and just doesn't have a good touch. The rounded (very stylish) shape effects the accuracy of the kick. And I could go on an on.

If they are super-light then there offer less protection are brutal on your feet, if they synthetic then they never feel quite right on your feet (sorry Vegans, it's true). Also, the new designs on the shoes make it so there's a learning curve to a shoe. You can't just kick it, you have to learn the (sometimes Bizarre) design of the shoe. You should be the Master of the shoe not the other way around.

So in the end, Predators are like the top of every pizza box. "You've tried the rest now try the best." They are not the "newest shoe" on the block anymore. But they have been through many generations of slight design changes. And they are better now then ever.

Here's why:
1. Comfort. They are comfortable (blister free) the first time you put them on. Not after a month like many shoes. And because of the K-leather they get more and more comfortable.
2. Ball control. The combination between the flat top surface and the rubber top lining you really feel like you're putting the ball where you want it to go. It's the most accurate of any shoe out there.
3. Protection. This goes back to the "super-light" shoe trend. They all have very little protection for the top of your foot. Do you really be out for a month because some knuckle-head steps on your foot while you're about to shoot? The over-lapping tongue and the rubber really helps. And these shoes aren't heavy. I find it purely a marketing tacit that a lighter shoes (talking 2 ounces here) is really going to make you faster. I'm a fast player and I'm the same speed in these as I am in any other soccer shoe I've ever worn.

Too small
The soccer boot is totally awesome. I tried it on in a local store to be sure of the size. When they arrived, even though it was the same size that I tried on in the store, it was entirely too small. Then I had to hassle with returning it and having shipping and handling deducted from the credit back to my card.
