Today, David Beckham presented his new adidas Predator^® boots at the recently opened adidas Sport Performance Store on Broadway as well as a football shoot-out at Brooklyn Bridge in New York. The new international David Beckham range will feature a dragon design element that was inspired by Modern Asia. David wore his new Dragon PredatorPulse for the first time in England’s friendly game yesterday against Colombia.

David Beckham: “I always enjoy being in New York and launching the adidas dragon range here is going to be a great experience. The boots feel great and I think they look absolutely amazing!”

The Chinese Dragon symbolizes power, excellence and vitality. A dragon overcomes obstacles until success is his. It is energetic, decisive, optimistic, intelligent and ambitious. Its benevolence signifies greatness, goodness and blessings. This special PredatorPulse® is part of David’s exclusive product range with his signature logo. The David Beckham PredatorPulse will be available at selected retailers from July 1, 2005 onwards at a retail price of € 185.
