adidas unveiled the Predator 18+ "Telstar"
The iconic silo from the Three Stripes will match with "Mechta", the official ball for the World Cup knockout stage
June 27th, 2018
Yesterday, we presented the Telstar Mechta, the adidas official match ball that will be used from the beginning of the knock-out stage until the final game, that will take place on July 15 at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. At the same time, the Three Stripes presented a model of Predator 18+ “Telstar”, that presents the same colors and design of the Mechta.
The three main colors - white, red, and black - expand from the front part of the upper to the back. The white toe leaves the place to the red through a pixeled pattern, the same thing that happens between the red section and the black heel. Being the 18+ model, this Predator Telstar is laceless, with a black sock. The shoe also features golden details, particularly on the lateral adidas branding and the front part of the soleplate. Finally, on the heel there’s the same logo used for the Copa Mundials that FIFA gave to referees, that means Russia 2018 official logo. As we can understand, adidas’ athletes won’t wear this pair of Predator 18+ ‘Telstar’ but they will keep their Energy Mode pack boots.
