As of June 10, David Beckham will walk out with 10 lions on his boots in England’s first group qualifying game against Paraguay in the 2006 FIFA World Cup™. The new +Predator® Absolute David Beckham features five lions inscribed on each boot, representing each one of the England captain’s team mates. The boots reflect the collective team spirit, pride and leadership that lions and the English are respected for.

”I am pleased to step on the pitch with my new Lion boots! adidas couldn’t have come up with a better design for the biggest and most important tournament in football. The design and fit is stunning and I look forward to wearing them in our first game against Paraguay,” so David Beckham.

The DB Lion boots feature the PowerPulse™ technology associated with the Predator®, shifting the center of gravity closer to the point of impact. The +Predator® Absolute Lion Boot is part of the exclusive David Beckham signature range and  will be available at selected retailers from June 12 onwards at a retail price of € 200.
