Predator Reloaded: adidas Bring the Heat Indoors With the Sala

The is back – and this time, it’s laced up for the indoor arena. are preparing to launch the Predator Sala, a slick reinterpretation of the legendary Predator Absolute from 2006. Built for fast feet and five-a-side glory, the Sala isn’t just a throwback – it’s a full-on remix for the modern futsal freak.

On the tech front, this silhouette is lighter, leaner, and made for the tight turns and parquet pivots of the indoor game. The suede toe and breathable mesh upper keep things comfy under pressure, while a grippy gum outsole helps you break ankles (not your own) on the court. Even better, the Predator Sala clocks in with at least 20 per cent recycled materials – a sustainability flex that doesn’t skimp on performance.

The launch colourway comes correct in Bayern Munich-esque beige and red – a nod to terrace culture and mid-2000s football aesthetics that still goes hard today. Classic Predator DNA is alive and well, from the Three Stripes branding to the tongue execution. Just don’t try wearing these outdoors unless you’re looking to scuff your soul.

Of course, the Predator’s legacy runs deep on the football field. First launched in the mid-90s and famously backed by boot-wearing warlords like Zinedine Zidane, and Steven Gerrard, the Predator became the stuff of footballing folklore thanks to its rubber fins, power-enhancing zones, and curve-happy control.

The adidas Predator Sala is expected to launch in June for around $140.
