– Left boot: USA flag
- Upper construction includes extensive additional reinforcement stitching, especially around the forefoot and striking zones — a hallmark of Beckham’s custom Predator builds.
- Elite-Level Structural Modifications:
- Fully custom model, with major differences from any retail Powerswerve construction.
- PowerSpine cavity blocked off — Beckham’s insoles constructed without the retail PowerSpine unit for a more traditional and natural flex profile.
- Custom insole boards integrated for enhanced comfort, stability, and energy absorption — a specification exclusive to Adidas-contracted elite athletes.
- Additional layered structural stitching enhances durability, control, and touch, built specifically for Beckham’s technical striking style.
- Historical Significance:
- Worn during Beckham’s early LA Galaxy years — a transformative moment that reshaped football’s presence in the United States.
- Also used while representing England, highlighting Beckham’s continued importance on the international stage during this period.
- Match-worn Beckham boots from the MLS era are extremely scarce and considered museum-grade memorabilia among elite collectors.
