Claim: Adidas Predator is a football boot invented and previously manufactured by Adidas.
Evidence: Adidas Predator are a range of Football boots developed by German sportswear manufacturers Adidas, introduced in 1994. In late 2010, Adidas designed the new "Power-spine" technology, which they claim improves shot power by reducing the amount the foot bends back as it kicks the ball. In 2014, Hungarian inventor László Oroszi won a court case against Adidas in relation to the Predator Precision range, forcing Adidas to pay royalties on that range of the boot. The Predator line was discontinued in May 2015 for football, but was brought back in late 2017 to replace the ACE boots whereas the rugby line is still going strong.
