Predator Special Editions
Where to find the current Predator special editions, including the Unlocked edition.
Every Predator 26 shares the same fold-over tongue and the same four-tier range. A handful of colourways go further: a limited run, a collaboration, a story told in the straps. These are the ones currently out there to buy, not the full history of Predator specials — for that, see Predator Signature Editions.
Current Special Editions

Pricing and stock move fast on limited runs, so treat the figures above as a guide, not a quote — check the retailer for the current price before you buy.
Where to Look
Special editions sell out faster than standard colourways, and once they do, adidas doesn’t restock them.
- adidas.com is the first place to check, and the only guaranteed source for the full edition, size run and styling.
- adidas Confirmed (the app) sometimes carries early or exclusive access to limited drops, as it did for the Wales Bonner collaboration.
- Specialist football-boot retailers occasionally get an allocation, particularly for collaborations aimed at a fashion as well as a football audience.
- Resale marketplaces are where sold-out editions end up. Expect to pay more than retail, and more for rarer sizes.
Buying Safely
Limited editions are the boots fakes imitate most, because the detail — a stamped mark, a specific stitching colour, a numbered strap — is exactly what’s hardest to copy convincingly and exactly what collectors check first. Match the style code on the box to the listing, and read our guide on how to spot fake Predator boots before paying resale prices for any of these.
Frequently Asked Questions
What special edition Predators are available right now?
As of this page’s last update: the Unlocked edition, the EQT 35th-anniversary pack, Bellingham’s Icon Takeover, the Wales Bonner collaboration and the Zidane ZZ30. Availability changes quickly, especially on limited runs.
Is the Predator 26 Unlocked still available?
It launched on 5 January 2026 in a limited run; check adidas.com for current stock, or a resale marketplace if it has sold out.
Where can I buy the Wales Bonner Predator?
It released on 17 April 2026 through adidas.com, the Confirmed app and select retailers. See our full page on the collaboration for details.
Are special editions worth more than standard Predator 26 colourways?
Usually, yes, both at launch and on resale, because the run is smaller. If you just want the performance of the boot, a standard colourway does the same job for less — see our Where to Buy the Predator 26 guide.
