The 2026 starter pack
Born For Goals, born to score, is the first major pack of football boots launched by adidas in 2026, the year of the World Cup. It brings together the brand's three ranges in bright and distinct colours: red for the Predator, lemon yellow for the F50, and white for the Copa Pure. These boots are worn by adidas players on pitches all around the world.
The adidas ranges
The adidas boots come in different ranges:
All the boots are gathered on the adidas page.
Predator, F50 and Copa
The new Predator, the boot for control and striking, takes inspiration from the Predator Precision of the mid-2000s, with its three wavy stripes; the FT versions, with a folded tongue, pay homage to historical models. The F50, lightweight, is designed for speed. The Copa Pure IV, the boot for touch, revives the fine lateral trim of the Adipure from the early 2010s, reinterpreted as a red line on a white background.
Choosing your level and sole
Each range comes in different levels: Elite for professionals, Pro, and League, which is more accessible, with laceless versions rated LL. The sole is chosen based on the pitch: FG for dry grass, AG for synthetic, SG with screw-in studs for muddy pitches, FG/MG for versatility, and TF for firm ground. You choose your size at the end of the day, with your match socks on.

Frequently asked questions
What are the differences between Predator, F50 and Copa Pure in the Born For Goals pack?
The Predator, in red, focuses on control and striking thanks to a sticky upper. The F50, in lemon yellow, is the lightweight speed boot. The Copa Pure, in white, prioritises touch and the comfort of a soft upper.
Elite, Pro or League: which version suits my game?
The Elite is the version worn by professionals; it is the lightest and most precise. The Pro takes the essence for regular players, and the League, which is more robust and accessible, is suitable for casual play and young players.
What studs should I use for synthetic or firm ground?
For dry grass, opt for moulded studs. Synthetic surfaces require a sole that limits excessive grip, muddy pitches need screw-in studs, and firm ground benefits from smaller studs that are kinder to the joints.
What are the benefits of laceless versions and those with a folded tongue?
Laceless, the boot fits the foot like a sock and provides a clean striking area. The folded tongue, a nod to historical Predators, covers the lacing for a more uniform contact area.
How do I choose the size of a football boot?
It should fit snugly, with about half a centimetre in front of the toes. Try it on at the end of the day with your match socks, and for a child, avoid going too big as this hinders control and encourages blisters.
