Pic: Take a look at the spanking new Black/Zest Predator LZ Adidas boots

Traditionalists who love black boots and black boots only will love the latest version of the Predator LZ boots released by Adidas recently.

Traditionalists who love black boots and black boots only will love the latest version of the Predator LZ boots released by Adidas recently.

There was a time when wearing coloured boots on the field of play meant you were basically inviting opponents to go in on you with a hard tackle.

These days, however, they’re so ubiquitous that black boots, and particularly boots with every single part of them coloured in black, have become the modern day equivalent of coloured boots and the options of choice for shapers and football boot hipsters.

The tiny hint of orange, or zest as Adidas like to call it in this case, is unlikely to put either the aforementioned shapers or black boot traditionalists off the new Predator LZ boots, which, on first glance at least, look very slick to us. Very slick indeed.

The more flamboyant football boot fans mightn’t like them as they don’t stand out a mile like some of the fluorescent coloured alternatives on the market these days, but Adidas fans, Predator fans and black boot fans should appreciate them and we’d wager that they are going to prove pretty popular.

So what’s the verdict, yay or nay?
