Phantom GX for me. I'm at a point where comfort is a top priority, my feet still hurt from my session this morning from wearing my narrower speed boots 😂
My gx arrive today will be good too see the difference. Mercurials are always too tight for me but agree with jay. The air zoom is by far the best sole plate I’ve ever used would love for them to be on the gx
I'm using the mercurial superfly 9 (yellow) for about 4months now, played on both AG & FG field & it's really satisfied me.. really loves those airzoom tech.. real comfort, locked & secure for my feet.. the best boot I've ever had
I wear a size 9 in Mercs and tiempos. I didn’t like the phantoms at first because the toe box just felts too pointy but I got the size 8.5 and problem solved! They feel absolutely amazing. If you are a first timer getting any of Nikes main 3. I highly suggest going somewhere and taking as much time needed to get your sizes down before purchase
same issue with me. Fit very great in 9 in mercs. I have phantom gx in 9 but have the feeling if i size down its fit much better. I might give that a go
@@armandoromero7016 dude I’m telling you they are the best feeling boots ever for me at the size it’s almost unreal how great they feel when the extra length isn’t there
@@jackpartridge7891 well if your toe hurts it might be best to try a size up. I like to get my boots as tight as possible when I start feeling pressure points that feel uncomfortable I go back up a half size.
These new vapors are amazing. First time they’re wide enough to where they don’t hurt my feet. Super aggressive cleat pattern on the vapors compared to the phantoms
@@AmericanBusinessman422 lmao. "Normal" men or are you talking about fat pigs such as yourself? I am average height 6.0" and weigh 190lbs, not sure what that has to do with foot size though 😂😂
Throughout my life Ive played with mercurials , phantom , adidas predator , and adidas X.. I can say by far the mercurials are way better than the rest in terms of feel its like playing barefoot you have all the freedom in the world with the ball
@@Kai88988 i say for sure the mercs are best for shooting. Based on my experience on the phantoms i didn’t like the way my feet felt for the shoe being a wide type fit. I got used to the snug fit and i felt as if my shots were more accurate in my opinion. Hope this helps!
Sadly the quality and durability of Nike boots seem to vary a lot by generation. The latest Mercurial Vapor 15 don't seem to stand very long in daily use. My son has been through two pairs in just couple of months. The last pair having several cracks in the outer sole. This is propably the downside of making everything from thinner materials to shave weight and costs. Elite boots should also translate to better durability IMO.
I want to add a problem that i really felt ingame on the phantoms. I had a problem with the speed, the insole is just not my type. Its very thin and you can feel the studs through the sole it is also very flexible which can be an advantage or a disadvantage.
does the GX have alot of volume in the mid foot ? i have a very low profile thin foot and alot of the boots ive tried have too much space in the mid foot and when i lace it it crumples at the top.
Mercurials are a bit more Wide and the upper is tall, but shorter on the tip, phantoms are larger, tight, and low, just for skinny feet, mercs are more like open to wider feet than phantoms
Are the pink and black phantom gx still available to purchase if so, can someone send a link to purchase really desperately in need of new boots since my hypervenoms have been ruined. Great video as always UniSport!!😎
Hello Jay and Unisport fam and team, I know it is not a good question to ask but in your opinion do you think the GX outsole is okay to play on Artificial grass ? Is it grip the ground too much or the studs are little bit long for AG pitch. The reason I ask this question are 1.In my country official store such as Nike are not bring AG outsole for sell ( it’s weird because I can strongly agree that more than 70% of population who play football are playing on AG pitches ) 2.Related to N.1 question, they are online store who import the boots by themselves but most of them don’t stock AG outsole much or have few size and also some store that have my size they don’t open store that i can try they only sell it online. Hopefully this question are not too long for you and really thank you for content that always really fun to watch and answer many people question.
Not sure if Nike has a "By You" program in your country, but where I'm at, they don't sell the AG sole plate on the standard models, but they'll let you choose to add an AG sole plate if you customize your own pair. It's a bit more expensive than non-custom versions, obviously, but I've found it to be pretty similar in price compared to buying AG Nikes from resellers, plus you get the benefit of buying straight from Nike should anything go wrong
ive had peoblems with blisters playing soccer and kicking for the football team, Im just a kid so moneys tight but my mom went in with me to find some because I need the comfort, my old shoes were 8.5 so i went a size up to 9 hopefully they fit well☺️
Wich boot do you recommend for narrow, flat feet. I have a problem finding a good fitting one. The one that fits my feet the best is Puma Utra, but they dig into my toe when walking, running and hurts after awhile.
You should also put the links for the nike clothing you wear on your videos man, I've been looking for a full nike fit like yours on this video but can't see to find. As usual thanks for the review!
hi there.. i would like to know if there is any difference between nike mercurial and phantom gx, on ag soleplate, concerning the length of the studs.. i suspect that the ag studs of the mercurial are a bit longer from the gx’s studs..thanks in advance
Hello , I’m a defender/defensive midfielder. Do you have any suggestions on buying MERCURIAL or PHANTOM GX. I’m very hesitate to buy one of these two.🙏🏼
Playing in the same position, DM. Foot is semi wide I'd say. I grabbed myself a merc vapor 15. Tried both and I can say that for myself, merc lockdown is more aggressive and secured with barefoot feeling. Phantom GX is more relaxed and while the grip on the outside is good, but I always have that "insecure" feeling when i'm wearing them as they're not locking down as much as merc. Ultimately its up to you if you want more relaxed or firm lockdown.
In my opinion merc is very comfortable for me I have struggled all my life finding the right boots because I have a wide foot but when I put on the Superfly 9 it was love at first sight I love how snug it feels I like the boot to be nice and tight because I like to feel like I can feel the ball so that’s just my opinion
Whoever says they are uncomfortable and narrow dont know what they are talking about! Ive had phantoms and tiempos in the past but my mercurial vapor 14s are so much more comfortable
I am switching over to Nike for the first time in my 21 year old life ! Adidas really disappointed with the speed portals. So i wear a 7M in jordan 1s , wore a 7.5 in adidas cleats . Should i switch to 7.5 in Nike then ?? Am going for Mecurial Superfly 9
I have been using phantom gx (Academy) for a while now and I must say, they're some amazing boots but now I have ordered some mercurials because I accidentally ordered the gx with metal cleats and I had to replace them with some high and thick cleats and they just don't feel nice, looking forward to the mercurial
Depends, if you like knuckle balls, top spins or just shoot the ball as hard as you can go for the mercs, if youre more a person who likes more grip on the ball for curlier shots and a better touch & comfort go for the phantom
I have mercurials and went half a size up because i have wide feet and fit perfect (i wear an 8) but since the phantom gx have a wide fit, do i go tts?
Hey what cleats do you recommend for wide feet? I currently have puma ultras and my feet often hurt cuz my foot is too wide. I’ve heard the phantom gx are a wider clear so I’m really considering them. Thanks for the awesome videos :)
That extra length on the gx is totally noticeable. I hated them as soon as I put them on. Tried half a size down and the toe box was way too tight. Mercurials are true to size. Definitely a more barefoot feel but the gx upper is also very thin. Mercs are wider this year so they win for me

Please do phnatom gx v pred accuracy
I would love too, but unfortunately I don’t have the money
SO, which boot is for you - Mercurial or Phantom GX? /Jay
Mercurial 9
I think mercurial because I Like locked
And my feet are very wide
mercurial definitely
Phantom
Phantom GX for me. I'm at a point where comfort is a top priority, my feet still hurt from my session this morning from wearing my narrower speed boots 😂
I find the mercurials to be surprisingly comfortable on my feet. Haven’t had a chance to try the gx tho!
My gx arrive today will be good too see the difference. Mercurials are always too tight for me but agree with jay. The air zoom is by far the best sole plate I’ve ever used would love for them to be on the gx
I wear mercs as well and I find that a good pair of grip socks can go a long way in stopping foot pain. Really recommend if you haven’t tried already.

Great video . I just wish you guys put a return label so I don’t have to pay same price of the boots to return and get a different size
Lool love the Easter egg for the new Phantom GX colourway. Very nice JayMike
Thank u for choosing mercs I was gunna choose the phantoms but chnaged my decision bc of u but I’m glad I did🎉

Neymar would've looked so good in the GX
Neymar's peak was when he wore Nike's
No way they both match perfectly with my academy kit colors il cop one for sure
Got the last generation phantoms last year, and I felt like the toe box was too pointy, so I went with the Mercurial, thanks for the review!
Maybe I'm weird, but I'd love to have a Merc with a ton of grip from the upper
Mercurial for performance and specialised comfort under feet. Mercs win all day when it comes to a very responsive yet comfortable boot.
I've been waiting for this video!
i got both but i love the mercurial more the fit /feel and traction is excellent

What if you put in a carbon plate into the phantom? Would that be a good idea?
Would you say the Phantom GX's AG outsole is a lot safer than the Mercurial's AG outsole?
Don’t think so, the Mercurial’s AG only has 2 blades in the heel but that won’t be a problem .

Since the nike phantom gx shoe is so soft, does that mean it can be broken easily?
Its close to an plug and play shoe, but it would soften even more if you give it a bit of time

idk just a fan of the gx from the say it looks to how yall say the fit n everything the only bad thing I heard js the outsole

Yeah probably because is their preferences
is there competiton between the adidas speedflow and the GX?
