It’s only right that, after 30 long years together, adidas have honoured their enduring connection with the legendary Zizou. To mark the occasion, the sportswear behemoth has dropped a special-edition Predator that pays homage to the Frenchman’s truly unique talents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fittingly for a player of Zidane’s elegance and panache, the boots arrive in a classy, clean white colourway with metallic gold details. Blue, white and red accents on the sides are a nod to his achievements with France, while the boots also carry a bespoke ‘ZZ30’ mark.<\/span><\/p>\n

The design also incorporates what adidas call “deeply personal” details that chart his legendary playing days. On the famous fold-over tongue you’ll find Zidane’s signature logo in gold, inspired by that outrageous volley in 2002.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even the straps are part of the story, with each boot representing a different chapter of the 54-year-old’s life. On the right foot, it’s the cities that defined his career: Cannes, Bordeaux, Turin and Madrid. The left carries nods to his roots, referencing communities and amateur clubs in and around his hometown Marseille.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
