New Delhi: “Under The Tongue,” a feature-length documentary examining the profound influence the boot franchise has had on the beautiful game, both on and off the field, will be released in the 30th anniversary of football’s most cherished franchise. The official trailer for the film, which will have its official premiere on December 5th, was released today.
The hour-long documentary, which was produced in partnership with SoccerBible, includes current stars Jude Bellingham, Alessia Russo, Aitana Bonmatí, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, as well as the football players who helped make Predator so iconic in its early years: David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, and Eniola Aluko. These players reflect on their early memories and what it means to be a member of the Predator family.
What is the documentary all about?
The documentary explores how a special fusion of industry-leading innovation, design that defined a culture, unmatched star power, and timing came together to produce a boot that would drastically alter the course of the football boot market and have a profound effect on adidas as a company.
Craig Johnston, the man who came up with the original concept of using rubber to create the now-iconic Predator teeth on the boot’s upper, takes viewers back to the very beginnings of Predator. He narrates the journey from his first epiphany while coaching children’s football in Australia to finally seeing the boots on the feet of the world’s best players in 1994. He then explores the silhouette’s undeniable impact over the next 30 years.
Senior adidas executives, members of the design team, and well-known fans—such as singer-songwriter and football enthusiast Louis Tomlinson—recount their personal experiences with Predator’s rise in the documentary.
