But in milan beck's use number 32.
David Beckham has become an iconic figure wearing adidas Predator football boots, and has his own range of white and gold adidas Predator PowerSwerve football boots currently available.
Predator football boots are designed to enhance power, accuracy and swerve, all attributes that have served Beckham throughout his career. Innovative SmartFoam and PowerPulse technologies are just two of the features in the ninth generation of adidas Predator football boots.
Meanwhile, David is scheduled to return back home and rejoin the Los Angeles Galaxy on March 9th, although AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is still holding out hope that Becks will be able to lengthen his stay with the Italian club.
Galliani told press: “We are working to allow him to stay with us until June 30th, 2010. It’s the player’s will to remain here so he can play in the 2010 World Cup. In the USA, he’s considered a testimonial of their league and of other commercial things: that’s why there is the difference between our offer and the LA Galaxy’s request.”
“David is ready to give up to a lot of money. It depends on him and his lawyers to negotiate everything. We will see. He will return to Los Angeles on March 9th, or he will remain until May 31st, or rather he will remain with us until June 2010. I hope for the third hypothesis,” Galliani added.
meanwhile this is the history about adidas predator:
History
In the early 1990s following his retirement from the game, ex Liverpool winger Craig Johnston designed and created the prototype for the Adidas Predator football boot.
In 1994, the Adidas Predator was launched, proving to be a revolution in football footwear. Players noticed they had more power, more control and more swerve, and that the shoe allowed them to strike a ball with pinpoint accuracy. Today, the Predator is generally considered the single greatest football boot innovation since the screw-in stud.
In 1995, an update of the Predator model entered the playing field, in the guise of the Predator Rapier. The re-designed rubber fins offered greater ball control and increased power. Moreover, the improved football boot offered a more natural fit. The Predator Rapier was the first Predator football boot to use the fold-over tongue, a detail now synonymous with the Predator boot series.
1996 marked the introduction of the Predator Touch, and the first use of the Adidas TRAXION system, enabling increased grip. The fold-over tongue was given a facelift and returned in Predator red.
To coincide with the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France, Adidas launched the Predator Accelerator. With a more anatomically sound and professional fit, the football boot included asymmetrical loop lacing providing a larger, cleaner kicking surface to eliminate missed shots and passes.
The Adidas Predator Precision was launched during the UEFA EURO 2000 championships, with exchangeable TRAXION studs: X TRAXION. A merge between some of the leading football boot innovations ever: the idea of exchangeable studs from 1954 and the Predator and TRAXION technologies of the mid ’90s.
The 2002 FIFA World Cup in the Far East was the launch pad for the Predator Mania. As a much lighter Predator football boot, the Mania featured a split outsole construction. The renewed configuration of the Predator compound allowed players to give the ball even more swerve than before.
The Predator Pulse presented in 2004 featured the new PowerPulse technology for the first time. The PowerPulse unit, relocates only 40 grams of weight to the front of the shoe, achieving an increased power transfer of 3% in every kick. This means increased ball speed and ultimately less reaction time for a goalkeeper when the ball is shot on goal. The Predator once again confirmed its status as the world’s premier football boot, selling well over two million pairs in 2004 and 2005.
Adidas unleashed its most accurate, lightest and most powerful football boot at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany: the +Predator Absolute. The eighth generation of Predator features the revolutionary Exchangeable PowerPulse technology, allowing players to add power to taste!
I hope that will help you all.
