Adidas has been at the heart of soccer since its foundation in 1949 by Adi Dassler. The brand revolutionized the game with innovations like the Adi Dassler screw-in stud boot, worn by West Germany in their 1954 World Cup victory. The Predator series, introduced in 1994, became legendary for its rubberized strike zones that enhanced ball control and swerve, famously worn by David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane. The Copa Mundial, released in 1979, remains one of the best-selling boots of all time. In recent years, Adidas has focused on lightweight performance with boots like the X, Nemeziz, and Predator Edge, maintaining its dominance in the modern game with stars like Lionel Messi and Jude Bellingham.
