As a wide footed player I am blown away by these. They are insane... my mind can't comprehend how comfortable they are. Straight out of the box to playing with zero issues. These are so good.
@@NoahCavanaugh Apparently they made some changes to the new colors and the fit isn't as good? Not sure but I have the all black (shadow pack) in AG and they are insane. I'm still in shock at how good they are.
The one we've been waiting for!! I wasn't planning on copping these right away (I've been playing in the Preds and have the Vapor 15s), but everyone's reviews are making me want to try a pair. I think I'll grab the blackout pair in AG.
Great content! Really enjoyed this video and was eager to hear you input since I have heard some people talking about the reduced responsiveness. But you really did an excellent job in portraying all the pros and cons. And loved the point about the heel moving sideways when planting since I do find that very annoying on several other boots as well. Can't wait for the upcoming playtests so that we can get an idea on how these new speedboots stack up against one another.

@@yungb2714you know the other two (SR4U and jay) both wear the boots and play in them to get the feel of the boos before reviewing? They are not scams, each UA-camr has a different way of reviewing.
@@nikola4069 Unisport does list the AG in the blackout colourway. I guess Blueprint won't be available other than FG (was the same with the launch colorways of the last Mercurials).
Found a pair of these w AG plates at the Nike Clearance store for $99 USD. I was nervous they’d be too narrow but I was able to wear them without problems out the box.
Got myself a pair of these, super nice, not sure if I prefer these or the FT Predators, think maybe these fit my feet better though. Maybe placebo but my dribbling feels clean in these.
Nice Video! What do you think of the insoles? Can you put in different insoles or does it take away from the air zoom because there is no cutout for it?
I might get some just need 18$ more but I have the Nike Zoom Mercurial Superfly 9 Academy FG and I'm looking to get those cleats. Mine are a size 8 and they hurt a bit on my right foot near the pinky toe so what size you think I should get for those cleats and are the elites more comfortable so they doesn't hurt under my pinky toe thanks for you time. If you reply of course😂
What do you think is the better option, vapor 16 AG or mizuno 4 beta ? I play 80% of the time on AG in the netherlands. The gx1 was insane but i also like leather 🤤
Hello Noah wondering if you could rank the predator elite ft the predator roteiro and nike tiempo legend 9 elite based on best boot and give reasons why?
Would you prefer these, superfly 10, or the predator elite ft btw im so sorry for asking so many questions on boots you have answered every one of em and i thank you so much for it im just trying to narrow down which football boots i should buy next might even get both 😭
How do you find the water retention when playing on a wet pitch with the “new” GripKnit on these vs something like the vapor 15 upper or the new f50 upper?
i really want the phantom gx 2 but im in between sizes 7.5 and 8 sometimes bc 7.5 is sometimes to tight but sometimes they fit good, idk either to go 7.5 or 8 i cant try them on bc none of my local stores have them.
Another amazing video !!!! Unrelated question but my rotation is Morelia DNA, Tiempo Montebelluna and Ds Xfly-4 all of them are amazing but what do you think I should choose as THE “game boot”?? Please give me your opinion based on your experiences🙏🙏
Would be massive if you could help answer this question. For AG which would you say is best out of these options; Mercurial Vapor 16 AG, puma ultra 5 ultimate AG or Mizuno Alpha elite AG???
@@NoahCavanaugh I would really appreciate if you did a video on your top 5 AG boots for 2024. Or if not perhaps a comparison of the 3 I have mentioned above in AG?? Would help out so much man
Hey Noah, after trying both the phantom gx 2 and the mercurial vapor 16 which one would you say is better? And would you say they grip on the vapor 16 is rlly noticeable? Love the vid man, keep it going!❤
Would you being any videos on like the new f50 pro version as its supposed to be good. Compared to elite. If not would you say to go for an elite version crazyfast or the f50 pro (both in same price bracket at the moment)?
iI have pretty much the same exact foot shape as you and whenever you say a boot has no space on the outer sides I get the same sensation the boots so whenever you recommend a pair I trust your choice. Since I was never ever able to fit the the mercs and you just reviewed the new ones would you recommend them or the phantom gx2 since I already know those fit my foot shape? How are they different?
CAN YOU TRY THE SUPERFLY I NEED TO KNOW IF IT REMINDS YOU OF THE SUPERFLY 4/5 because I saw that the sock looks a bit higher than the recent previous Superflys
Just a question, could you perhaps show your foot shape in some of your videos? Just to compare, cus ive got wide feet too and id like to see how the boots would fit on me since you've got wide feet as well
Are the fg studs too aggresive for ag fields? Because the launch colour is sick, but it is only in fg. I really like the look of the whites. But only fg studs puts me in a hard descission. Amazing colour or whait for ag studs? Whats your opinion on this?
I play some games on AG and some games on FG. I really want to buy the new mercurials since they are wider. I had the puma ultra 1.4 and they were amazing and I had no problem with them on AG. I was wondering if the risk of injury for using the vapor 16s FG soleplate on AG is too high. If yes, what boots do you recommend that have an FG soleplate that are safe to use on AG?
Do you like the airzoom? Does it feel snappy or am I the only one that feels like I’m steeping on mud and feels like someone is holding me back while I run
Great video! Would you say it’s dangerous/harder to twist/rotate with chevron studs even on grass? For the sake of injury prevention, or is it a non issue.
Nah, grass gives a softness that an AG won't, the chevron studs are tried and tested on grass, just don't put yourself at risk at all using on the wrong surface
It's just advice. Also personal preference. There's a higher percentage of you hurting yourself wearing FG on AG, but it's not a crazy difference. The actual numbers vary between 10-18% if I can recall. I don't remember the website that had "research". Everybody is different, so like Noah has said, up to you if you think you can handle the load in your ankles, knees, joints, etc.. the quality of your playing surfaces can help you decide if you can use certain boots too.
Plenty of people, amateur and professional, use FG cleats on AG. If you can't decide, just try AG then. I personally wear rounded studs on all ag. Copa mundials and Adler yatagarashu
wow i did not expect that, im from melbourne myself. i'm surprised you've found so many nice pitches to play on here i struggle to find them. hard to search for it online
As a wide footed player I am blown away by these. They are insane... my mind can't comprehend how comfortable they are. Straight out of the box to playing with zero issues. These are so good.
RIGHT!? so crazy hahaha they're awesome.

good to hear!
Is it really fit true to size? Cause I’ve a relatively wide feet and flat foot as well.

Hell yeah 🔥🔥
Bro! That is a nice looking FG pitch. Appreciate you breaking down where the atomknit is, seems like it will be a good vapor option for wide feet
Absolutely would recommend wider feet to try just in case now 😈
Great review but do we know when the ag version is coming out
yeah ill never wear these ones on Fake turf
They are already out
They're dropping really soon in the US, or they're already out and I haven't seen them yet

It's unreal mate 🔥
i'm from brazil, my 1st video and i just subscribe ! Monster Noah, great video
Thank you! 🙏
Can’t wait for you to try the ag! 😮
Super stoked about the AG 😏
Hey Noah! When will the one month review of the Vapor 16 come out? Thanks love the one month reviews!
Soon
Got the superfly them last week, use them for a game straight out of the box so confortable no breaking time
Love that mate 🔥
Do they get dirty fast or not?
Found a pair of these w AG plates at the Nike Clearance store for $99 USD. I was nervous they’d be too narrow but I was able to wear them without problems out the box.
That's amazing!
Can you try out the Pro version of these since I think majority of folks won't buy the Elites unless they play top tier football.
Great Vid Btw
I can do my best mate
Got myself a pair of these, super nice, not sure if I prefer these or the FT Predators, think maybe these fit my feet better though. Maybe placebo but my dribbling feels clean in these.
Class! Love to hear it.
Do they get dirty fast or are they still nice and white?
Noah， u are way much better than any Football boots Channel, sincerely❤ love from China
Thank you mate! 🙏
Bought some socks! thanks for discount
No worries mate! Enjoy!
great content , seen that you talked about the vapor 11 , was wondering how was the fit on those ? if you don't mind
Thanks mate! Vapor 11s were much thinner, but also more focused as a speed boot I reckon
you are the happiest wide footer about this boot
Hell yeah bro 😎
Nice Video! What do you think of the insoles? Can you put in different insoles or does it take away from the air zoom because there is no cutout for it?
They're fine, I'd replace them if I actually wore custom ones/different ones
I might get some just need 18$ more but I have the Nike Zoom Mercurial Superfly 9 Academy FG and I'm looking to get those cleats. Mine are a size 8 and they hurt a bit on my right foot near the pinky toe so what size you think I should get for those cleats and are the elites more comfortable so they doesn't hurt under my pinky toe thanks for you time. If you reply of course😂
Nice mate! I would probably go for the same size, the boots will stretch 💪
You said the elites have atmon something like that a thin layer of flyknite is that like the 2014 f50? Where half the boot was light
AtomKnit is a thin version of FlyKnit, yes
What do you think is the better option, vapor 16 AG or mizuno 4 beta ? I play 80% of the time on AG in the netherlands. The gx1 was insane but i also like leather 🤤
oooo Those are both good mate! I'd probably go for whichever fits your foot best! If they all fit and you like leather, go for Mizuno!
I’m curious on the takedown model materials and performance.
Unfortunately I don’t have time to do takedowns at the minute bro, not sure on this one!
Waiting for the laced f50 play test 👀🔥
Soon mate!
🔜
Hi Noah, I'm a massive fan of your videos, if I play on SG, FG, and AG, which studs do you recommend? I dont want to get multiple pairs just yet 😂
AG
im hope they bring the Vapor 16 Pro soon
🫡
Which one would you pick for a full season? This or the Phantom GX 2?
GX2 no question
Hi Noah, which one would you prefer Vapor 16 or Alpha MIJ ?
Vapor fits me better 👍
Hi noah now that mercurial can fit wide feet do you reccomend new balance furon v7+ or this new mercurial vapor?
Both are excellent, I'll probably still wear the Furon more though, it's definitely wider
@@NoahCavanaugh thank you noah
Hello Noah wondering if you could rank the predator elite ft the predator roteiro and nike tiempo legend 9 elite based on best boot and give reasons why?
Roteiro fits me better, so I'm going to say that!
You have to try the adidas F50 elite messi
Already in the works mate
Love your video brother
I have a wide feet, now I'm in a dilemma to choose to buy this new mercs or phantom gx2
Which one you recommend?
Thanks mate!!
GX2 for sure
Would you prefer these, superfly 10, or the predator elite ft btw im so sorry for asking so many questions on boots you have answered every one of em and i thank you so much for it im just trying to narrow down which football boots i should buy next might even get both 😭
Depends on what actually fits you mate! I'd probably go for these if you like them!
What's better this or the ultra 5? I'm deciding to have 2 boots in game day, so it's not always mizuno. Btw Good video noah!!!❤
Depends what fits you mate, Mizuno is always a great option
How do you find the water retention when playing on a wet pitch with the “new” GripKnit on these vs something like the vapor 15 upper or the new f50 upper?
Almost zero water retention on the Vapor. F50 is completely waterproof as it's a synthetic, as are Vapor 15
i really want the phantom gx 2 but im in between sizes 7.5 and 8 sometimes bc 7.5 is sometimes to tight but sometimes they fit good, idk either to go 7.5 or 8 i cant try them on bc none of my local stores have them.
7.5 bro
Another amazing video !!!! Unrelated question but my rotation is Morelia DNA, Tiempo Montebelluna and Ds Xfly-4 all of them are amazing but what do you think I should choose as THE “game boot”?? Please give me your opinion based on your experiences🙏🙏
I mean Xfly-5**
Whichever you like best for performance mate! All three are class 😎😎
Do you think the new Nike Superfly 10 are gonna get dirty easily?
Yep! Especially in this colorway - but that's part of football!
Thats the only reason why I won’t spend that amount of money on it, they don’t stay nice and white
Would be massive if you could help answer this question. For AG which would you say is best out of these options; Mercurial Vapor 16 AG, puma ultra 5 ultimate AG or Mizuno Alpha elite AG???
Haven’t tried any of those bro, but they’re probably all good 👍
@@NoahCavanaugh I would really appreciate if you did a video on your top 5 AG boots for 2024. Or if not perhaps a comparison of the 3 I have mentioned above in AG?? Would help out so much man
Many guys did a review on the ag pattern , and this time ard in terms of performance it’s same as Fg
It really depends on what pitch u play on
will you review the vapor 16 ag pro
I hope so!
hey noah, how easy it is to clean the gripnet and how easy are they to get dirty on FG?
Water and a sponge 😎
Hey Noah, after trying both the phantom gx 2 and the mercurial vapor 16 which one would you say is better? And would you say they grip on the vapor 16 is rlly noticeable? Love the vid man, keep it going!❤
Depends on your foot shape bro, I fit better in GX2. And re: grip - watch my videO!
@@NoahCavanaugh are you wider than 2E?
Would you being any videos on like the new f50 pro version as its supposed to be good. Compared to elite. If not would you say to go for an elite version crazyfast or the f50 pro (both in same price bracket at the moment)?
Maybe! I don’t usually have time to do reviews on takedowns unfortunately
Do the newer colourways of the predator 30 elite still have a frequent cracked sole plates
No
Thanks 🤝
Idk what size to go in because vapor 15 I went a size down
Same with these bro
Hey Noah, in overall review would you recommend this boots for wider foot players?
Decent for wide feet yeah
@@NoahCavanaughis there any heel slippage? I have a wide toebox, medium midfoot, but narrow heel

Since I was never ever able to fit the the mercs and you just reviewed the new ones would you recommend them or the phantom gx2 since I already know those fit my foot shape? How are they different?
GX2 are still the 🐐🐐
Even though you said they might be too aggressive on a AG pitch do you think u can get away with a true turf field that is somewhat soft?
It's up to you bro, my comments in the videos are what I believe.
Do these change your opinion on the phantoms? Is one better in your eyes in AG pro?
Nope! Still a Phantom guy 😎
Hello Noah, do you think it make sense to use some grip laces (for example amo laces) on one of these?
You could! Don’t really need to though
Should I buy these or the Mizuno made in Japen morelia neo 4
Whichever actually fit you better!
PLEASE TRY THE SUPERFLY
Maybe!
Do you prefer the Phantom GX1 or Vapor 16? I know that the GX1s are holy grails for you
Both are awesome!
9:06
Hey Vapor 4
😈
How does the airzoom elite vs pros feel like on turf ?
Haven't tried the pros mate
CAN YOU TRY THE SUPERFLY I NEED TO KNOW IF IT REMINDS YOU OF THE SUPERFLY 4/5 because I saw that the sock looks a bit higher than the recent previous Superflys
They sock is higher more formed compared to the previous superfly 9

Vapor
How's the toe box compared to vapor 15s
Slimmer but also more flexible
