ADIDAS PREDATOR ELITE 24 FT MANIA “MADE IN GERMANY”

Last week, to celebrate 75 years of German craftmanship, adidas kicked off its 2024 ‘Made in Germany’ range with a limited edition rerelease of the Predator Mania ‘Japan Blue’. Now they follow that up with the clean lines of the Limited Collection Predator Mania ‘Pearl’, which boasts the same aesthetic as the original Mania, but with the re-engineered outsole of the modern Predator 24 to ensure peak performance without sacrificing the iconic look.

The ‘Pearl’ edition comes dressed in a new ‘Off White/Cloud White/Cloud White’ colourway – a clean look that accentuates the iconic design aesthetic. As a final nod to adidas craftsmanship, the classic foldover tongue features a ‘Made in Germany’ sign-off.

The Predator Mania ‘Pearl' is the second of what is set to be several upcoming drops to be crafted in adidas’ historic Scheinfeld factory, located a short distance from the brand’s Bavarian HQ in Herzogenaurach, Germany. Having originally been opened by Adi Dassler in 1959, Scheinfeld has been responsible for putting genre-defining performance footwear on some of the game’s greatest ever athletes, as well as millions of fans around the world.

The production team at Scheinfeld have been at the heart of its operations for 75 years, which is why adidas is putting members of the current team at the centre of its marketing campaign for the Made in Germany range. In a series of pictures and videos, adidas shines a light on these individuals’ meticulous work and their unending passion to produce some of the greatest football boots in history.
