After turning the latch and lifting the lid, we were greeted with a photo of Philipp Lahm, Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi, Dani Alves, and Mesut Ozil. Under the photo was a plexiglass cutout of each one of the shapes that defined the adidas Battle Pack boots and beneath that were the five boots themselves.
In detail: adidas Battle Pack F50, 11pro, Nitrocharge, and Predator Instinct
Last week, a rather large box arrived in the mail. The box, a wood crate, contained a large wood chest inside of it filled with the five adidas Battle Pack boots.


Encased in individual compartments outlined by bright orange paint (save for Messi’s F50s which featured a special blue color like the boots themselves), were the 11pro, F50, Messi F50, Nitrocharge, and Predator Instinct. The boots went out for a quick photoshoot before getting all muddy in game action.
The boots are all 50% black and 50% white save for the gold adidas stripes on each boot (and the Messi F50 that carries a thick blue stripe). Each is a take on the Samba Pack boots that preceded the individual silos except for the Predator Instinct, which celebrates its 20th anniversary and brings with it a number of important improvements and innovations.
After you finish looking at the photo set, keep an eye out for the Predator Instinct review that will be out soon.
