Adidas has launched two new football boot ranges after making the bold move of scrapping its main Predator line last week.

After canning the iconic F50, Predator, 11pro and Nitrocharge boots, Adidas has relaunched with the philosophy that there are only two types of footballer, those who utilise control and those who are fuelled by chaos.

On revealing the Adidas X and Ace boots (pictured left to right), Bayern Munich manager, Pep Guardiola, said: “It's chaos or control. There are players who think more about what the team needs and what is the best solution for the team. This kind of player is an intelligent player who has a vision about what the team needs. He controls."

"Then there are the ones who cause chaos. The ones who play on instinct and on talent. They are a little outside of the field. They can create absolutely everything and you can't control that. You cannot limit that."

The Adidas branded boots will first appear in the Champions League Final in Berlin 6 June.

They will be available worldwide for purchase following the final 1 June.
