Predator Elite Fold-over Tongue FG Wales Bonner

Wales Bonner doesn't do loud. The London-based designer built a reputation on restraint, tailoring, and cultural storytelling, and this collaboration with adidas carries that same composure onto the pitch. The Predator Elite Fold-Over Tongue in Brown/Silver Metallic pairs a deep, earthy upper with metallic detailing that catches the light like polished brass. The fold-over tongue hides the laces beneath a smooth, uninterrupted surface, creating the clean strike zone that made the original Predator so iconic. It is not a boot that demands attention; it earns it by looking like it belongs in a gallery as much as on dry natural grass.

Beneath the calm exterior, the elite Predator platform is fully intact. A synthetic upper with Nanostrike+ mesh keeps the boot light and responsive, while integrated rubber grip elements press into the strike zone for consistent control in wet or dry conditions. Powerspine stabilises the midfoot through the shot, and the Strikeframe plate keeps the studs engaged on dry natural grass. The wide fit is a deliberate choice here, giving broader-footed players a stable, flat platform to drive through the ball without the upper pinching or buckling.
