- Legacy & Historical Significance:
- Patrick Vieira is widely regarded as one of the most dominant central midfielders in football history — a World Cup winner, European Champion, and Premier League icon.
- As Arsenal captain, Vieira led one of the most iconic sides in English football — the Invincibles of 2003/04, who went an entire league campaign unbeaten.
- These boots originate from the final chapter of Vieira’s Arsenal career, making them a symbolic relic from one of the club’s most celebrated captains, culminating in his FA Cup Final-winning penalty in Cardiff against Manchester United — his last kick in an Arsenal shirt.
- Adidas Predator Pulse models from this period are now considered era-defining, having been worn by legends such as Zidane, Beckham, and Gerrard — but match-worn examples from Vieira himself are virtually unseen on the collector’s market.

- Ultra-rare, match worn Predator Pulse pair from one of the greatest midfielders of all time.
- Made-to-measure (MTM) Adidas Athlete Services construction — a hallmark of true elite player exclusivity.
