Adidas release limited edition Predator to celebrate 20th anniversary of iconic boot

The boot that helped David Beckham to bend it and inspired Zinedine Zidane throughout his illustrious career is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a retro, limited edition design.

Adidas revealed the new Predator Instinct boot which is a throwback to the original black boot, with red tongue, created by former Liverpool star Craig Johnston in 1994.

Johnston's iconic prototype, which had the front of a table tennis pad held onto the boot by a rubber band, was purchased by the German sports giants two decades ago after the Aussie convinced legends Franz Beckenbauer, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Paul Breitner to test them.

The boot will not be available to buy and will only be worn by a select band of players
