Adidas first launched the predator on the market in 1994.Craig Johnson was the inventor a former Liverpool football and Australian international,Johnson came up with the idea of attaching strips of rubber to the kicking area of the boot to get extra spin on the football.The predator range always puts an emphasis on technology and players such as Beckham and Zidane were early advocates of the boots,in fact Zidane helped design the Powerswerve launched in 2007. The Powerswerve uses smart-foam which helps  to give more rebound power and up to 8% more swerve plus it can the increase the power of a shot by 3% .Powerpulse technology in the sole of the boot which is filled with tungsten powder which moves to the point of impact with the ball allows for greater power in the shot.For comfort design and inovation it is very hard to beat the Adidas Predator.
