Yes, I know that January is only a few days old, but has anyone seen the new Zidane Preds for sale on any online shops yet? I looked around a bit and didn't see them. Thanks.

I dont really see much a difference of the predator pulse 2s compare to predator pulse 1s. Apart from the interior of the pulse above which is red in pulse 2 and if you check the pulse 1s ull find that its black on the inside
The other 2 which would be coming out soon: Raul Ballack KaKa'

My goodness, someone actually believes all these mean something extraordinary. It's just advertising, mate...

adidas said the same exact thing about the first pulse in their advertising rundown, i know because i went over the catalogs with an adidas rep when i was running a soccer store over the summer

Prodirect are advertising the dark silver/metal pulses as 'new realease' so im guessing they are either out or you can pre-order them. Looks like the traditional red tongue is slowing fading out.

It would be sad if they did get rid of the traditional red tongue but I don't think it would look that good with those boots (the blue ones and the grey ones). It looks superb with the current three Pulses but I'm not convinced about the new lot. Hopefully it'll stay for the next round of boots.

The Predator elements and PowerPulse are reworked from the series 1 Pulses.

I never said it did. But it means enough to Adidas to re-launch the boot with the moniker of "2" and additional colors. Even if it's for marketing purposes, something needs to be different or else it wouldn't be anything more than a color introduction.

no they are not, i have seen the new pulses right next to the old ones an nothing is different but the color.
they did the same thing when the mania was launched in lunar and gunmetal, they called the the mania 2's

They do actually provide a bit more swerve, but don't look for anything extraordinary. I had the Predators that were out 2/3 seasons ago that had the rubber on inside and outside of the toebox and actually noticed quite a bit more bend with outside of the foot compared to regular Copas. The power of shots also seemed to improve with less effort(maybe I'm crazy).
The only thing that has changed with the "Zidane" predators and the "Beckham" Preds is the color, no matter what # Adidas puts next to them. :)
But still does anyone know where to order this (slightly) new color online? Thanks
