When you think iconic football boots, the adidas Predator is certainly up there with the first few that spring to mind.

So you can imagine how excited we are here at Sport-locker.net to show off this tease from the latest incarnation of the cult – the adidas Predator LZ (Lethal Zones).

You may have spotted the likes of Samir Nasri and Kaka donning the boots this week – and they are sure to be a huge hit when they land later this summer!

The adidas Predator LZ football boots will feature five innovative zones focused on first touch and control.

The first zone revealed by adidas is the large contact surface area on the forefoot with recessed ribs creates a vacuum effect for instant control, cushioning and stopping the ball immediately.

Stay tuned to the site as we reveal you the other lethal zones in the coming weeks!

And how about a bit of poetry ahead of the release:

He stops the ball dead.

He’s one second ahead.

When First Touch starts, for them it’s “the end”.

First touch is magnetic, one move and he’s gone.

And there are still four, four more to come.

Now you can’t say we don’t do culture here at Sport-locker.net!

Games will be dominated by FIRST TOUCH this weekend across Europe. Find out more at www.adidas.com/football and www.facebook.com/adidasfootball or join the conversation on http://twitter.com/#!/adidasfootball – @adidasfootball #unleash
