Özil’s Predator at the 20th anniversary
The Predator Instinct in Rich Blue / Neon Green — the 2014-15 season colourway of adidas’ Predator 20th anniversary boot.
The adidas Predator silo launched in 1994. The Predator Instinct arrived in 2014 to mark the line’s 20th anniversary, restoring the geometric rubber strike elements that defined the original silo’s approach to power and control.
Özil was the primary face of the Predator Instinct — at Arsenal from August 2014 through the 2014-15 Premier League season. The Rich Blue / Neon Green colourway formed part of the extended 2014-15 campaign rotation.
Innovative Features
i
Rubber Strike Zone
Geometric rubber elements on the upper contact zone restoring the Predator’s original spin and swerve design philosophy.
ii
Techfit Upper
Stretch-knit construction providing adaptive fit and secure lockdown around the foot.
iii
SpeedFrame Chassis
Lightweight structural soleplate framework providing stability and energy return without adding bulk.

FAQs
Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us and we'll get back to you within 24 hours.
Not always. Sizing has shifted over the years, and older models can run slightly different depending on the brand and era. We include detailed measurements on every listing and can advise on how a specific pair compares to whatever you're currently wearing. Message us before buying if you're unsure.
Some older pairs are still perfectly wearable, while others are better suited to collection or light use only. It depends on the age, condition, storage history, and any signs of glue or material degradation. Where relevant, we'll always be transparent about whether a pair is suitable for play, display, or both.
Every listing specifies exactly what's included — box, boot bag, spare laces, tags, or any other original accessories. If something is missing, it's noted upfront. We never assume "complete" — we show you what you're getting.
Absolutely. Message us on Instagram or through the site and we'll send whatever you need — close-ups, walkaround videos, specific angles. We'd rather you buy with full confidence than wonder about something after checkout.
Most of these pairs aren't sitting in a warehouse waiting to be restocked. Each year the number of these pairs goes down, in a lot of cases once a colourway or size is gone, it's gone permanently. Common sizes in popular models can take months or years to surface, and some never do again. The price reflects what the pair actually is: a one-off piece of discontinued stock in a specific size, condition, and colourway that nobody is manufacturing anymore. The rarer the pair, the fewer chances you get.
International orders may be subject to customs duties or import fees depending on your country. These charges are set by your local customs authority and are not included unless stated otherwise. If you're unsure, contact us before ordering and we'll help you understand what to expect.
Yes, Afterpay is available at checkout. You can split the cost into instalments with no extra fees when you pay on time.
Keep them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Avoid sealed plastic bags — boots need airflow to prevent moisture buildup, which accelerates sole degradation. If you're not planning to wear them regularly, flex the soles gently every few months to keep the materials from stiffening.
