The Predator Elite is adidas's top-tier firm-ground control boot, built around the fold-over tongue that covers the laces for a cleaner strike surface. The upper is a mesh and synthetic HybridTouch-style skin with raised rubber control elements on the instep, and the firm-ground outsole uses a split stud plate for traction on natural grass. It suits players who want a locked-in, padded feel and heavy grip on the ball rather than a barefoot touch. Against rivals like the Nike Phantom and Puma Future, it is heavier and more padded, with the tongue being the divisive part: some love the retro look and lace cover, others find it fussy to pull on.

Rated highly by buyers, who praise the locked-in fit, the padded comfort and the grip on the ball. The fold-over tongue splits opinion: some call it a stylish, functional throwback, others find it awkward to put on and adjust.
