I actually think the Nike AG-PRO soleplates are a little too aggressive, I prefer Nike’s regular AG soleplates like the ones on the Vapor 14, Legend 9, and the Academy models.
@@Henry-fr84 Depends on the surface, but typically feels pretty good on grass. In wet conditions you’d still need an FG/SG due to stud length being shorter on the AG.
I don’t think of a pair of boots have ever screamed “buy me” more than these on release. probably the best boots I’ve ever put on my feet straight out the box. needing boots made for ag is a big deal breaker for me so between these as the predators the gx 2 is a clear winner for me in ag model. 👌🏼
@@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw The ag solplate is so similar to the fg soleplate so I don’t see them as a great option for ag pitches, unless it’s a 10/10 pristine ag pitch. The Nike ag soleplate imo is much better for ag surfaces.
@@leekellehern7 fair enough, i have the speedflow.1 in ag with the same plate, the studs are definitely shorter than the fg and you get more. That said, you are right that this particular ag plate is better overall. Wish adi would hollow theirs out and shorten the studs more. There is a new AG option for the current Pred though that i would love to try and looks incredibly safe and comfortable
Bought the blue FG Elite model a couple of weeks ago. Love them, but then I found out we practice a lot more on artificial grass than I expected. Got stuck a couple of times on the AG pitch, and I get a lot more sore in the lower legs. Bought the AG pair just a couple of hours ago. Yeah it's pricy having 2 pairs, but not trying to tear anything.
The GX2s i have in AG do feel a bit more comfortable...really good in the wet.. almost predator like grip. I would recommend the Elite as that is the only boot you get the full grip with. Same for the Mercurial, with Zoom 3/4 soles... always go Elite. The only one i'd say save money on is the Tiempo Pro now its not leather line of boots.
@@kristiancastillo1730 All depends on how Firm Ground the pitches you play on are. In the UK, when its not wet or raining.. so really June to September AG boots work really well. FG studs are longer, i can wear them on AG pitches but my knees and heals dont like it.
Would you recommend the ag or fg soleplates for me because I spend around half the time playing on gras with the other playing on turf. I'm not sure what kind of turf it is that my school has but it isnt astro and i have never had problems with fg soleplates. The Pile height is 2 1/4” - 2 1/2” I am mainly not sure because I like the responsiveness of a stiff plate as well as the easy change of direction with blades.
Hi Josh, i play mostly on astro turf but also tend to play on grass too and during winter here in Ireland grass pitches can be really muddy. I found the Fg on a really good deal and wondering if its ok to buy Fg considering i play on AG alot.
Thanks! so it’s that time again for me, I have phantom vision 2’s FG SG and AG, I like to use the same boot on different surfaces so it feels as much the same for me as possible unfortunately my AG’s need replacing and I can’t get phantom vision 2s again, so after your help and advice I am going for the phantom luna 2’s in AG my AG phantom visions are size 10 should I go with the same size again or size up for these? For years I come back to your Channel when it’s time for new boots and your consistency and indepth information is amazing keep up the great work !
Nice comparison. I’ve been playing in phantom gt2 ag for last couple years, love the boots and I play both ag and fg fields. (The new GX2 AG is basically the same as the GT boots, just the GT we’re slightly stiffer overall). Recently bought a new pair and tried the hot water trick, and the upper became considerably softer. Can’t wait to get out and test them out
Josh quick question if you could please answer I play mostly in FG but I don’t like all the bladed studs that come with the FG version if I end up getting the AG version don’t think I’ll have good enough traction to play on FG ? The AG version reminds me of the Hypervenom phantom 1 where the studs were all round ?
@@Soccerreviewsforyou what about if it's wet though? Are the studs long enough on the AG boot so you don't slip? I wonder if the FG studs are therefore longer?
I don’t love it on a super shallow playing surface since the studs are still on the longer side. It’s not that you couldn’t wear them, they’re just not ideal if you’re buying boots specifically for that type of playing surface.
Yeah it's just whether or not the boot has the sock like collar. Hight cut boots have them. Low cuts don't. The phantom gx is low cut and the luna is high cut. The high cuts are extremely hard to get into so they are always worse than the low cuts
I think they’ll work for most people. With that said, if you can go half a size down in a pair of boots that run true to size, that’s the size you should probably be wearing. Until you try them on, it’s always hard to say how they’ll fit you specifically.
I love how Nike have just abandoned the whole “the vortex stud pattern is to reduce ACL injury in female players”, almost as if that was a completely unfounded claim or something……
Nike have the best ag sole plate. Not too aggressive and circular plastic studs.

@@All_About_the_Benjamins The studs on the tiempo 9 are longer. AG-Pro has very short studs
Just got the triple black colorway in AG-pro. Best boot I’ve ever had!
We’re did you get them from

The gx AG soleplate reminds me of old diadora sole plates
Me too, my Maracana had a similar plate
Elite boot knowledge, you're absolutely right
I wonder some of the pros actually went for AG sole plate instead of FG
So far they’ve been using the SG soleplate, which is also based off the GX 1 soleplate.
A lot of them use the soleplate of the tiempo legend 4
They do use ag on training days
@@jimmychau6120oh really?
They protect Their knees. Remember, most of the time, they get training on sintectic fields.
I can’t find the AG version you’re showing in the video. I’ve checked on the Nike app and website. Can you please share where you got them?
Thanks 🙏🏾

The only problem with the AG plate on FG is the hollowed studs, cuz of the extra mud =\
A paper clip works pretty well for getting out the mud.

Love all your videos Jared
the problem is that they no longer produce the AG-Pro version for Nike Pro, but only Academy low and Elite 😡
What would you say are the best ag football boots?

Haha warm water trick to soften the upper of new boots
How do i do it thanka
You feel any difference when playing on natural grass with AG variant? Or is the grip still good?
Josh following the link for the GX 2 Elite AG Pro coupon, I can't find a coupon for the AG's just the FG's. Any thoughts?
Will you also be making a video about the SQ soleplates, since they're 'interesting' on the new gen boots

I've used them for 2g/3g, I think they're fine. Maybe could do with a few more studs to relieve pressure but wasn't unusable
Wore my fg pair on turf field and less then a week there’s already signs or rips on the side of the cleats
AG looks better. I don't know why but it looks like something is off with luna sole plate shape
Is this a good boot for flat footed/wide footed players?
They're definitely a wider fit, like the Phantom GX 1.
@@j222lian Any idea if the Mizuno Morelia Neo 3 are more narrow or wider than the Phantoms?
@@khoroshsabzi sorry man i never wore any mizuno
Are they gonna drop any new colorways soon?
This video helped me a lot wit my choice 🤩🤩
So the GX1 was a FG/AG boot?
Are the soleplates bend the same way or the ag is stiffer?
The AG model is less stiff than the FG version.
Has anyone wore the ag of fg and does it feel fine?
Hi Im Memphis
hello memphis
Can someone explain the difference between low cut/high cut boots . Sorry haven’t bought cleats since 2012
Yeah it's just whether or not the boot has the sock like collar. Hight cut boots have them. Low cuts don't. The phantom gx is low cut and the luna is high cut. The high cuts are extremely hard to get into so they are always worse than the low cuts
Please review the new Puma future match with laces and laceless
Do i need to go half a size down for this?
Nope, true to size 👍
possible to change my FG studs to AG by sewing or any other methods? is it recommended?
If you have a nike ag boot lying around, i’d say convert it, but dont stitch it, it’ll ruin the fit and feel of the boot
@@muhammadhazarul how to convert by not stitching? i dont get it, pls enlighten me
I want ag but i don’t know if my league lets me use ag on fg
100% they would. It shouldn't be an issue at all.
How to get these in america
Is it only me that enjoy the FG studs ?
absolutely
How to keep them white?
Just treat them good and clean them
Pls somebody tell me 😭 tiempo legend 9/10 elite ag or phantom go pro ag
I play cm/cam/rw and my current boots are very worn out diadoras
I say go for phantoms if you play those positions
fit in the SG Pro? As it uses the tiempo SG pro soleplate?
Getting some T90 vibes
If i have thin and flat feet do you think i could go half size down and be ok even though its a wide boot?
I think they’ll work for most people. With that said, if you can go half a size down in a pair of boots that run true to size, that’s the size you should probably be wearing. Until you try them on, it’s always hard to say how they’ll fit you specifically.
Get the Vapors instead, they also have them in AG
I like ag
260€ for a cleats is mad..
Yay
