The iconic adidas boots once worn by David Beckham are making a comeback, with Jude Bellingham serving as the face of the relaunch.

Bellingham has been selected to model the Predator boots that Beckham famously donned throughout his illustrious career.

Beckham made legendary moments in the Predator boots, known for their distinctive fold-over red tongue, including scoring from the halfway line against Wimbledon in 1996 with the Predator Touch and delivering two pivotal corners in Manchester United’s thrilling 1999 Champions League final comeback against Bayern Munich.

Now, Bellingham aims to follow in Beckham’s footsteps, with adidas promoting their latest boots as an upgrade for the modern goalscorer.

The Predator 25 is designed to enhance grip between the boot and the ball, featuring extra cushioning for player comfort.

These boots are now available at select retailers and on the adidas website, starting at €60 (£50).

Bellingham is expected to debut his new boots when Real Madrid faces Mallorca in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final on Thursday night.

At just 21, Bellingham has emerged as a superstar, impressing for both Real Madrid and the England national team. Beckham also played for the Spanish giants during his career while captaining his country, and Bellingham is seen as a strong candidate to succeed Harry Kane as captain when the Bayern Munich star retires from international duty.

Beyond their on-pitch similarities, Bellingham and Beckham share a flair for fashion off the field as well. Both have appeared in underwear advertisements, with Beckham famously posing in briefs for H&M, while Bellingham became an ambassador for Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS brand last year.

Ahead of Euro 2024, Bellingham modeled the underwear and even met Kardashian, posing for selfies together.

It seems Bellingham is not only making waves on the pitch but also mingling with high-profile celebrities off it.
