With the countdown officially on for the reveal of ‘Under The Tongue’, our documentary produced in co-operation with adidas, which officially launches on 11 December, we’re giving a sneak peek behind the curtains to give more of an idea of what’s in store.

The adidas Predator. When it comes to selling the ‘Under The Tongue’ documentary, we really shouldn’t need to be saying any more than that. And if you’re reading this, chances are that you’ve already seen the trailer (if not, it's below – catch up!) and are probably already pretty hyped about seeing the previously untold story of what is arguably football’s most iconic boot in full. But let’s see if we can’t get you a little more hyped about it, yeah?

‘Under The Tongue’ charts the incredible rise and enduring legacy of the adidas Predator football boot, interrogating its impact on football and wider culture since its debut in 1994. And who better to comment on the boot and its legacy than the players that actually wore them over the years? That’s why, with adidas’s help, we spoke with the likes of Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, Jude Bellingham, Aitana Bonmatí, Alessia Russo, Trent Alexander-Arnold and more, all of whom provided insights, anecdotes and contributions.

This is, quite frankly, unparalleled access to all things adidas Predator – from the players to the designers to the archives – there’s no base left uncovered nor stone left unturned. This is about as comprehensive as it gets, and it's all presented through the artful eye of director, Keane Pearce-Shaw, whose meticulous approach leaves the watcher in no doubt about the sheer legacy that's still being built to this day.
