adidas Black Pack: Predator, Copa Pure, F50

What is the adidas Black Pack?

The adidas Black Pack refers to a selection of football boots from adidas offered in an entirely black colourway, across all ranges. It includes the Predator, Copa Pure, and F50, each available in various versions depending on the type of pitch and the level of play targeted. This unique shade makes it easy to spot the more understated models in the adidas catalogue, far from the flashy colours typically offered by the brand with new collections.

Predator, Copa Pure and F50: the three ranges of the Black Pack

Each range meets a different playing need, which is why they are all included in this pack.

• The Predator is built around ball control and shot accuracy, featuring elements focused on the contact area with the ball. Here, it is available in Elite FT FG and League FT TF versions.
• The Copa Pure focuses on a leather-like material to provide a natural touch and good foot wrap, available in Elite FG and League FG/AG.
• The F50 is designed for players who prioritise speed and lightness, with several variations ranging from the laceless Elite FG model to the indoor League model, including the Club FG/AG and Elite SG versions.

Which model to choose based on the playing surface?

Your choice should first be based on the surface you most often play on.

• The FG versions (firm ground) are suitable for well-maintained natural pitches, which remain the most common surface in amateur clubs.
• The AG versions (artificial ground) are designed for new generation synthetic pitches, which are increasingly present in municipal stadiums.
• The SG version is aimed at soft or waterlogged pitches, featuring longer studs for grip in mud.
• The TF version is for hard synthetic pitches or city stadiums, with numerous small studs to distribute weight effectively.
• The Indoor version is reserved for indoor play, on parquet or hard floors, with a flat sole and no studs.

The foldable tongue football boot adidas FT FG/AG, available in this selection, adapts well to both natural and synthetic surfaces.

When to find the best deals on adidas football boots?

The prices of adidas football boots fluctuate throughout the year, especially during several key commercial events. The Black Friday, followed by the end-of-year holidays, remains the most anticipated period, which can be viewed on the Black Friday football boots page. Next are the winter sales and the French Days in spring, two times to watch for models still in the catalogue at the end of the season.

Outside of these times, the Football boot promotions page and the Clearance Shoes page allow you to spot references at reduced prices all year round. If you are looking instead for the latest arrivals in the catalogue, the New Football Boots page lists them, and the Shipped in 24h page features pairs available immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Black Pack a separate range at adidas?

No, it is not a technical range but a grouping by colour. The models it contains each belong to their own line, Predator, Copa Pure, or F50, with their own specific features.

Can you wear an FG boot on artificial turf?

An FG boot can occasionally be used on a recent, well-maintained synthetic surface, but the wear on the studs will be quicker than on natural ground. For regular use on synthetic surfaces, an AG version is more suitable.

What is the difference between the Elite and League versions of the same model?

The Elite versions sit at the top of their line, with more refined materials and construction, while the League versions offer a simpler technical base for regular use. The choice mainly depends on budget and frequency of use.

Are laceless boots suitable for everyone?

The laceless version, like the F50 Elite FG offered here, uses a different slip-on system that may require some adjustment time. It usually suits players who are used to a well-fitting boot from the first lace-up.

How can I check if a pair from the Black Pack is still available in my size?

Size availability is displayed directly on the detail page of each model at the time of size selection. It may vary from model to model depending on the chosen reference.
