Which reigns supreme: F50 or Predator? Here are the new adidas colorways for the upcoming stages of the 2026 World Cup
adidas today unveils the new "Chaos vs Control" pack, spotlighting the rivalry between two football icons: F50, built for players who make speed their greatest weapon, and Predator, designed for those who rely on control and precision. The pack is set to take center stage during the final stages of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
The new Predator Elite Fold-Over Tongue arrives in a clean white colorway with black details and solar turbo accents. The mesh upper featuring Nanostrike+ technology combines lightweight comfort with integrated grip elements for enhanced precision on every touch. The iconic fold-over tongue creates a larger striking surface, while the Strikeframe outsole improves traction and agility. Completing the design is Powerspine, which provides greater midfoot stability for more powerful shots. The F50 Elite, on the other hand, is built entirely around speed. Its white upper is accented with solar purple and solar turbo details for a dynamic look that reflects its DNA. The Fibertouch upper delivers lightweight support and cushioning where it's needed most, while the 3D Sprintweb texture enhances ball control even at top speed. The Compressionfit Tunnel Tongue ensures a secure fit during quick directional changes, while the Sprintframe 360 outsole is engineered to maximize acceleration and speed in every direction.
With this pack, adidas once again invites players to choose their style of play: Chaos or Control. On one side, Predator is made for those who dictate the game with precision and composure; on the other, F50 is built for players who disrupt the game with explosive speed and unpredictability. The F50 Elite and Predator Elite Fold-Over Tongue will be available from July 8 at selected retailers and on adidas.com. Completing the collection are new colorways for the F50 Sparkfusion and Copa franchises, extending the "Chaos vs Control" aesthetic across more performance footwear.
