adidas Launches Final Rush F50 and Predator Boots for New Season

adidas has launched its Final Rush boot collection ahead of the new season, introducing new versions of the F50 and Predator ranges as part of its ongoing “Chaos vs Control” campaign.

The release is built around two contrasting roles on the pitch: the F50 is aimed at players reliant on acceleration and direct attacking movement, while the Predator is positioned for midfielders and creators seeking control, passing precision and striking power.

Predator returns in black and mint

The Predator Elite FT is the control-focused centrepiece of the pack, combining a black upper with white Three Stripes and mint-green trim. It also brings back the fold-over tongue, designed to create a cleaner area for striking the ball.

Its NANOSTRIKE+ mesh upper is lightweight and includes grip zones intended to improve contact and control. adidas has paired the upper with a STRIKEFRAME soleplate and POWERSPINE technology, with the boot designed to offer stability and added force during passes and shots.

Jude Bellingham and Pedri are among the players expected to wear the new Predator model.

F50 designed for high-speed attackers

The latest F50 Elite takes a brighter route, using an electric-green base, dark detailing and yellow accents. The boot is finished with an iridescent effect on its outsole.

Built for rapid movement in the final third, the F50 uses a FIBERTOUCH upper with 3D SPRINTWEB texturing to help players retain touch while running at speed. A CompressionFit tunnel tongue is intended to secure the foot, while the SPRINTFRAME 360 soleplate is designed to provide traction for quick changes of direction.

Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembélé are set to use the F50 from the new collection.

Additional updates across the range

Final Rush also brings revised colourways to the F50 Sparkfusion and Copa lines. The full collection is now on sale through adidas and selected retailers.
