Adidas announce they will no longer make Predators, football dies a little

A sad day for football fans

Neil Treacy

We’ve had to dig out the black armbands this afternoon at SportsJOE towers.

Adidas have done the unthinkable, by announcing that they are ending production of Predator boots, along with three other ranges.

It means that if you have any of these beauties out in your garage, either buy a display case, of start creating an e-Bay profile.

Let’s just get this straight, adidas scrapping the Predator is like Denny announcing they’re no longer making sausages or Tayto discontinuing crisps.

Instead, they’re coming out with some fancy dan ranges called X and Ace, the promotional video of which will make you think they’re changing football forever, rather than just releasing a new football boot range.

Excuse us, we’re just a little raw after hearing the news.

*deep breaths, deep breaths*
