Adidas x Metalwood Predator Sala Core Black
Predator Sala x Metalwood, the football archive taking over the pavement This pair doesn't try to pass as a standard sneaker — it owns its футsal boot origins and puts them straight to work in street culture. The Predator Sala pulls from Adidas' Performance archive, the boot lineage that defined generations of players, and rebuilds it for anyone living street culture day to day. The Metalwood collaboration reinforces that dual identity: on one side, the sporting heritage carried through in every detail; on the other, a rebellious read that speaks directly to trendsetters who don't chase consensus. The Core Black colorway takes that approach all the way: total black, matte against gloss, where the iconic Predator stripes stand out through texture alone rather than color. The upper combines leather and durable textile, a mix built to marry timelessness with flexibility without ever losing structure. Every brand element tells a story — the archive Performance logo on the tongue, the Predator logo stamped on the heel, the lateral and medial stripes closing out the silhouette. This is a premium build that doesn't need to shout its status: it proves it through material and detail. Technically, this pair doesn't cut corners. The rubber outsole delivers reliable traction on urban pavement, originally engineered for indoor play but fully at home in daily wear. The standard fit and classic lace-up closure guarantee secure lockdown, whether that's a morning skate session or a night out in the city. That versatility — moving from the pitch to the street without losing comfort — is exactly what makes this a street piece, not just a repurposed sports shoe.
