The Adidas EQT Predator Run Brings Football Heritage to Contemporary Running Tech

Footballcore has completely taken over the streetwear scene in recent years—but a crossover into road running? That wasn’t on anyone’s radar. Adidas has now blurred that line with the launch of the new EQT Predator Run, a performance-driven silhouette that fuses the best of football heritage with modern running innovation.

At its core, the design combines the unmistakable DNA of the 1998 Predator Accelerator—one of the brand’s most iconic football boots—with the proven tooling of the Adizero Boston 12. That means a familiar upper built for touch and structure, now riding on a dual-layered Lightstrike Pro and Lightstrike 2.0 EVA midsole for high-mileage support. Underfoot, a Continental rubber outsole ensures grip and durability, whether you're clocking miles or turning heads on the pavement.

The EQT Predator Run is expected to land in several colorways throughout the Summer 2025 season, with the classic white-on-black look already making early waves. It’s a smart mashup of performance and nostalgia, wrapped in a silhouette that feels ready for both the track and the tunnel walk.
