Kaká (Real Madrid), Nani (Manchester United), Robin van Persie (Arsenal), Jack Rodwell (Everton), JonJo Shelvey (Liverpool), Fernando Llorente (Athletic Club Bilbao) and Riccardo Montolivo (Fiorentina) gathered together at The Old Truman Brewery in the heart of East London to take part in a special event watched by a crowd of fans and global media.

To celebrate the launch of the 2011 version of the ever popular Predator boot, adidas created a series of unique skill based challenges for the players to attempt. A variety of tasks were set up across a purpose built skills arena which saw the players test their accuracy and control. The second part of the event saw the players then split into two teams and take on competition winners from the audience in a bespoke game of “football paintball”.

Kaká said of the event: “It was fantastic to get involved and be able to interact with the fans. The football paintball was like nothing I’ve ever done before and it gave us players a great chance to show off just how accurate the adiPower Predator is!”

The new adiPower Predator football boot will be available at adidas own retail outlets as well as specialist stores worldwide from June 2011 in Sharp Blue/Electricity/Black.
