Where are all the David Beckham fans?

It's your chance to dive into 30 years of the Predator shoes that Beckham loves!

The adidas World of Predator 2024 has finally made its stop in Malaysia and some lucky fans got a chance to meet David Beckham in person!

The exhibition is in conjunction with the Predator franchise's 30th Anniversary. It marks the 30 years of evolution for the boots and its days as David Beckham's go-to professional boots.

All about the Predator franchise.

Adidas introduced the latest addition to the Predator franchise — Predator 24. This boot unites pure 90's nostalgia with the relentless performance of today to create a boot for a whole new generation of goal-scorers.

The inspiration of the boot is clear as it blends the aesthetic DNA of the OG Predator with the lightweight design capabilities seen in Predstrike and Predator 30.

It carries the famed black, white, and red colorway but is bolder in hue, and completed by vibrant yellow taping to proudly declare its place as its own boot and in its own right.

Bonded by this beautifully simplistic design, the silhouette comes in three executions which offer a combination of design featured to suit various price points — laced, laceless, and a classic laced variant with a fold-over tongue for those looking for a pure look of nostalgia.

During the media interview, David Beckham expressed his fondness for this new Predator series.

"But, this one, to be honest, Predator 24, is the best since I’ve retired and it’s my favorite one since the Accelerator because it reminds me of the Accelerator, you know. The lines of it, the actual boot. So, it’s a pretty special boot, one unfortunately I won’t ever wear professionally," Beckham responded when asked about the evolution of the Predator boots.

He was also proud to see sportswear being associated with fashion, leisure wear now rather than just purely for sports.

"The Predator brand has gone beyond football. People wanna wear the shoes, they wanna be seen in the boots. It’s not just about the football side, it’s gone into fashion as well, and I think that’s what adidas has done so well. That’s the strength of the brand, and it’s the strength of the Predator, and that’s what’s great," said Beckham.
