adidas Predator Mania Made In Germany Red
The adidas Predator Mania ‘Made in Germany’ Red/Silver is back, closing out one of the most elite boot collections adidas has ever dropped. The fifth and final release in the Made in Germany series brings an icon full circle.
Entering the Three Striped archive for another blast of iconic footballing nostalgia, adidas has re-released the adidas Predator Mania in a stunning red colourway that originally launched back in 2002.
A tribute to the days when Beckham, Gerrard, and Del Piero pulled on Predators, owned the moment, and made footballs dance with every touch
Originally released in 2002, this Predator Mania made its mark on the game before returning in 2019 for the 25th anniversary of the Predator. Now, just after the 30th anniversary of the Predator and adidas’ 75th birthday, it’s back once again—connecting eras with a design that still stands out today. Crafted in adidas’ historic Scheinfeld factory, this latest edition carries the same elite craftsmanship as the Predator boots worn by today’s top pros.
Everything that made the Mania iconic is still here. The fold-over tongue, now stitched with “Made in Germany,” stays true to the original design. The premium red leather upper delivers that unmistakable look that ruled the early 2000s. Mania branding is etched onto the soleplate, cementing its status as a true collector’s piece. The only modern upgrade? A lighter, sharper soleplate, better suited for today’s game.
This drop wraps up seven months of adidas bringing back some of its most elite boots. From the Japan Blue and Pearl editions to a short break with the COPA Pure II, the Made in Germany series has been a masterclass. Now it all ends with a statement piece—one of the most sought-after Predators of all time.
