Adidas Predator Pulse White DB Sample SG

New without box - some yellowing on the fins and sole, some minor scratches from storage  

The Upper:

• Adidas continued the Predator Pulse with a premium K Leather upper
• A newly crafted tongue was designed with a bit thicker of an elastic to keep a nice, snug fit
• Adidas used thicker, more elevated stripes compared to the last model, but kept a similar look with the stripes wrapping underneath the boots
• In terms of the Predator element, Adidas crafted a 6 piece rubber design for increased power and swerve.
• Sample tags, features one white tongue and one blue tongue, a spec that was used on pre production Samples but never released

The Sole Plate:

• Adidas introduced the PowerPulse technology with the Pulse
• The PowerPulse was supposed to help with weight distribution, making the boot more comfortable and increasing power based on the distribution
• The overall sole plate was similar to the mania, with a 2 piece design and a bladed TRX stud pattern

Notes and Comments:

• Sample tags, features one white tongue and one blue tongue, a spec that was used on pre production Samples but never released
• The Predator Pulse had big shoes to fill after the success of the iconic Mania
• The Pulse is one of the best Predators ever made, and was the debut for signature DB colorways while at Real Madrid
• There were significantly more colorways of the Pulse made from the previous model, showing how Adidas had taken a creative leap during this time period
