adidas Predator relaunch: David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane reunite on 25th anniversary

David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane have reunited to launch retro versions of the famous adidas Predator on the 25th anniversary of the boot.

These boots sum up the childhood of many a budding footballer. Every one who tucked that over-the-laces tongue up and over believed they could bend a free kick in from 30 yards.

So, 25 years on from their initial release, adidas are back with more of the cult boot.

Zidane wore the Predator Accelators in 1998 and the redesign gives a "refreshed look and pay homage to his Ballon d’Or success" of the same year.

The World Cup winner's boots now have a gold K-leather upper with blue, red and white with the option of four different colours of laces; gold, navy, white and red.

Beckham has had his 2001 Predator Precision redesigned with "an all-white K-leather upper and the iconic red tongue." It has either white or red laces.

Watch the promotional video above as Zidane and Beckham look who else deserved to don the classic boot.
