Glad you gave these a shot! Great to see how initial thoughts can vastly change as you go on wearing a boot more! Boot is purest form of ‘modern classic’ as a boot can get IMO! Side note: if you get a colorway from the Japan blue forward, they actually took out some of the padding so the boot isn’t quite so THICC anymore! Great work as always man! 🎉
I got these boots back when they released in that white/gold colorway and was so disappointed I sent them back the next day. If they had copa k-leather with a modern fit these would be an instant hit
This review was good so bravo to you but I got a pair of icons in the summer only because they were very discounted and I assumed that they would be better than my cheaper mercurials that were too small for me. When I got them I struggled to get under the ball and kicking was awful to me but i figured that this was just because I was rusty. Now that the season is over with tons of training sessions I went from one of the best free kick takers to the worst. And after training next to many players, I realized that it wasn’t just me that struggled to get under the ball. It was the cleats. They are just way too poofy and thick near the bony area on the inside of the foot and I got them in a size that was too big for me. Even 4-6 months later I am realizing that there’s way too much space in my cleat, especially around the toe area and it ends up hitting the plastic on the bottom instead of my foot. I’m very sad and disappointed about the cleats because I spent more money than I’ve ever spent on these cleats and it was a waste of $115 and I’d rather take my $90 mercurials just because they’re much more thin and go around your foot better. These boots never really fit me and there’s always something wrong such as looseness it doesn’t help that I have to wear heels supports. I would never recommend these to anybody even if they feel comfortable. it is much better to use the hard part of your foot to practice, good form and technique. I will admit that these cleats have some of the best grip in this price zone. I want to get new cleats for Christmas so if you have any recommendations for cleats that are thin but quality and have good grip for a center back like me and aren’t too pricey, that would be fantastic thank you so much
I really appreciate your input mate! There's not a whole lot at a lower price point that also has proper grip elements unless you went with a previous generation Predator maybe?
hello ! noah, i want to ask you some question, it for my school personal project related to football boots. What do you think is the most important factor in designing lightweight soccer cleats? In your opinion, what defines the performance of soccer cleats? what really makes a balanced cleat? Do you think there any design features in current cleats that could be optimized for sustainability? What features does a well structured soccer cleats should have? If you could change one thing about modern soccer cleats, what would it be?
I think these boots look absolutely sweet. However, I thought they felt so bulky and big. Hated the way they felt especially compared to mundials, premier 3, and mizunos.
Hey Noah, love the videos. I'm looking for a comfortable leather boot that offers the most protection to the foot. Would you recommend the Copa Icons, Mundials or the Morelia 2s? Thanks in advance!
In the UK these are the same price as the Elite (tier just after MIJ) Mizuno Morelia 2’s….which would be a better buy between that and Copa Icon, in your opinion? 🤔
I would go with the Mizuno Morelia Elite. The Mizunos are lighter, it's K leather, very comfortable, good outsole, good heel area, and the build quality is not far from the MIJ model.
Please if you drop the one month review of the vapor 16 elite please incorporate the ag variant because most people will go with those as its suitable for both surfaces and the fg istoo agressive and please do a play testof the puma ultra 5 ultimate MG
Been waiting on these, I am gonna pick up a pair asap, was thinking about 442s but New Balance switching to synthetic leather kind of rubbed me the wrong way.
@@KonstantinB.52 I am in Canada bro it wouldn't even come close to being the same price with customs and shipping. At that point I could MIJ Mizunos lol
Thanks so much man with helping me pick out boots, your amazing I just subed
No worries mate! 😎

For sure! 👍 Definitely a boot with a lot of plushness if that's the type of thing you're into!
So the new lucid blue colourway is not as thicc anymore?
love the content Noah, but when is the mizuno morelia neo 4 (non beta) month review coming out
Sometime 😎
I got these boots back when they released in that white/gold colorway and was so disappointed I sent them back the next day. If they had copa k-leather with a modern fit these would be an instant hit
Bummer mate! Sorry to hear that...
Hey Noah!
Just came across your channel, now a huge fan!
Quick question, can you do more Diadora reviews? Would love that!
Welcome mate! Thanks for being here.
Yep! Already on the way
when do you plan on dropping the one month for the vapor 16?
Soon!

Love your videos 🙏🏻
Thanks brother 🤝
Hey noah! When is the puma king vid coming out?
Soon mate!
Any toughts on the changed stiching pattern on the new colorway?
I don't mate! Probably just an aesthetic change 🤝
Hoping mizuno upgrades the outsole on the morelias. That would be perfect imo
That would be dope! I doubt it though - it's their classic!
Yep they are way too tame to be fg imo

What features does a well structured soccer cleats should have?

That's a lot of questions mate, maybe DM me on IG and we can speak there.
@@NoahCavanaugh OK!
Hi , how similar is to the copa 19.1 - I have been trying to find something similar , as I had 2 pairs that are starting to split.
It's kinda similar, with key differences in the heel area and upper thickness
I think these boots look absolutely sweet. However, I thought they felt so bulky and big. Hated the way they felt especially compared to mundials, premier 3, and mizunos.
They ARE bulky and big. I'm not sure I've ever seen an FG boot with a midfoot upper as thick as the Copa Icon. It has thickness like a sneaker.
Yeah that's fair! 🔥

Did you watch this video? 👀
i could watch your reviews and play tests for hours without getting bored man keep it up, love from LA 🫶👌
I appreciate it! 🫡
Noah on your opinion wich football boot is the best to freekicks or shooting on the ball of all time
YOU'RE the player mate, so train free kick technique and you'll get better!
Will you do the one month review of the copa mundial?
Probably not mate
Just get a pair of
Would these offer better traction on damp real grass than fg Tiempos or at least Copa Mundials?
Yeah definitely
In the UK these are the same price as the Elite (tier just after MIJ) Mizuno Morelia 2’s….which would be a better buy between that and Copa Icon, in your opinion? 🤔
I would go with the Mizuno Morelia Elite. The Mizunos are lighter, it's K leather, very comfortable, good outsole, good heel area, and the build quality is not far from the MIJ model.
Mizunos 100% bro!
Please if you drop the one month review of the vapor 16 elite please incorporate the ag variant because most people will go with those as its suitable for both surfaces and the fg istoo agressive and please do a play testof the puma ultra 5 ultimate MG
Maybe! I'll probably do 2 different ones
when is the 1 month review for the vapor 16
Soon
Seems like a boot you can go to war in! Very interesting review.
Definitely 👍 A boot I'd be happy to be stepped on in 😂
@@NoahCavanaugh Haha
hey noah you went true to size on this ones?
Yep!
Been waiting on these, I am gonna pick up a pair asap, was thinking about 442s but New Balance switching to synthetic leather kind of rubbed me the wrong way.
Get yourself some Asics my guy, still very underrated Boots
@@KonstantinB.52 I am in Canada bro it wouldn't even come close to being the same price with customs and shipping. At that point I could MIJ Mizunos lol
Mizunos are worth it I reckon 🔥
Review on Copa pure 2 advancement pack please
Probably not mate, already did a Copa Pure 2 and 2+!
@@NoahCavanaughnext gen copa in 2 months, hopefully they make some nice upgrades
I’ve seen these drop to around $100 usd on the Dick’s Sporting Goods app in the US. If I had cash to spare, I’d probably pick them up. 👍🏼
Whoa! That's a deal if you're into boots like that
these or the Gloro 2 ...which would you pick?
Haven't tried the Gloro 2 mate
