Whether it’s shades of black, white and red, the sight of the football boots takes football enthusiasts down memory lane, whether it be the World Cup finals or the Champions League.

Over the past 30 years, the design of the Predator football boots has developed continuously, responding in time to the playing style of the era.

One of the biggest evolutions of the Predator football boots was revealed before Euro 2000, featuring a unique design of separated rubber fins and the strategic placement of each piece. Replaceable studs made it possible to enter the field in all competition and weather conditions. The sleek design and conformity to aerodynamic principles enhance performance, reported Prachachat.

Beckham talked about his 30-plus year relationship with Adidas.

“For me, Adidas is like another family that has been travelling with me since the first days of my football career, especially the Predator football boots.”

As an icon of Adidas Global, Beckham also sent a final message to the new generation who have a passion for sports.

“Focus on doing what you love and have fun while doing it. In the end, dedication will lead us to success.”

There were also Thai celebrities who attended the event including Adidas Brand Ambassador Thailand, Bright Vachirawit.
