adidas Launch Chinese Year of the Snake Predator
The limited edition drop celebrates Chinese culture throughout its design
New year, new boots, and that’s certainly the case with the brand new adidas Predator Year of the Snake. Celebrating the Chinese New Year, adidas have released this special edition boot that could low-key drop in as one of the best new-generation adidas Predator colourways yet.
Straight away in hand you notice the traditional Chinese colours that celebrate a new year across the boot with snakeskin patterns covering the upper, heel and soleplate of the boot. There’s a snake pattern design on the insole of the boot that ties in really well with the design on the boot itself with writing of Year of the Snake on the elastic strap & tongue.
Tech wise there’s no difference between this boot and the Predator that dropped in the adidas Pure Victory though the designs are drastically different. It’s a limited edition drop with only 238 pairs dropping in The World's Largest Bootroom at Pro:Direct Soccer as this launches as one of the most hyped releases of 2025 so far.
Further Chinese references are found on the heels of the boot with a little snake, and the insoles are a work of art with snake designs covering the the full canvas. 'Year of the Snake' is also featured on the back of the tongue and a snakeskin print covers the upper to ensure this is one of the most aesthetically stunning Predator releases so far.
