adidas Drop The 'Stealth Victory' Pack

adidas continue their strong start to 2025 with the ‘Stealth Victory’ pack, their blackout option for the Predator 25, F50 and COPA Pure III which this year comes with some venomous hits of red throughout.

Following on from the in-line ‘Pure Victory’ pack and the rather special Year of the Snake Predator 25, adidas reveal their third drop of the year in the form of the ‘Stealth Victory’ pack, continuing the winning theme but adding a dark element to it. Blackout packs are nothing new, with brands dropping understated versions of their roster around this time of year. To keep things fresh here though adidas have opted to introduce some red accents into the mix, and boy is it effective, with the Predator 25, F50, and COPA Pure III all getting dressed up in corresponding suits.

First up, and the Predator 25 will inevitably draw a lot of the attention here, with the “Black/Grey Four/Lucid Red” colourway only missing some white accents to complete that holy trinity for the traditionalists. But it’s not missed all that much, the black and reds combining to great effect. The fact is, the Three Stripe branding is a subtle shade of grey, and that’s close enough for us. It’s as close as we’ve seen the Predator 24 or 25 get to the classic colourings (although that could well be set to change in the not too distant future) and we’re all for it.

Moving on to the F50, and it’s an equally strong look for the speed silo. The “Black/Iron Met/Lucid Red” sees the red used more on the branding, along with some further subtle accents in the upper and soleplate. 

Finally, the COPA Pure III looks sumptuous in a "Black/Carbon/Lucid Red" combo, the darkness really emphasising the plush cushioning in the forefoot.

It's about as sleek as you can get, and all three silos feature the usual range of fit options, whether you prefer laced or laceless. Of course, with the Predator you get the choice of fold-over tongue too, but that's just really not a choice, is it?

Stealth mode activated for a beautifully seductive alternative look for the Three Stripe roster.
