I have tried all three boot models from Nike, and I believe that the Vapor 16s are the best option. They feel very comfortable and make dribbling easy. It took me about 3 to 4 training sessions to get used to the boot.
Do you have the AG version? Let us know how it goes. I felt the studs were slightly too long and given how narrow it is, it was easy to lose balance or roll your fool
Best boot on the market right now in my opinion. I also have the Adidas F50 Messi Elite, and after wearing those for 4 weeks, I still hate them. Can’t even compare to these Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite in terms of traction, comfort, and performance.
@@layman4458 For Adidas F50 Messi Elite To start, that BURRITO TONGUE man. Pain in the ass and keeps moving. The soleplate and traction SUCKS! No bite on the ground, I just feel slow and sluggish. I have super wide and flat feet and even I find my feet moving around a little bit inside the shoes, maybe because of the Burrito style tongue. Comfort level very high because of the upper but the lockdown isn’t really there. I run and cut and train a lot so this boot doesn’t fit my style. It’s suitable for people who don’t run much, stand around, only practice free kicks, and “shoot contents” all day. Meanwhile, Nike Vapor 16 Elite does everything for me, I already feel faster and secure the second I put them on!
@@IanChan_Official you’ve saved my money with this comment because I’m the same, I sprint and change direction a lot (obviously everyone does that but it’s a heavier part of my play style) so I’ll follow your advice
Like you said I think people need to know how dangerous it is playing with fg boots on turf and AG pitch. I tore my LCL like that and now I need surgery, everyone please buy your boots according to the surface you play on.
@@JitTrippinOng Like Josh said an FG traction tends to get stuck on AG/Turf pitches, especially mercurials cause of how aggressive they are. I tried receiving the ball in a game and my torso was able to turn but everything below my knee was stuck and while I was turning I ended twisting too much and tearing my LCL
Just bought the “safari” colourway in some tiempos. Love the way they look. I think the series is called electric and some retailers are already selling them. Official day I think is the 25th or 27th
I didn't fit in the vapor 15's, not unless I wanted the life choked out of my feet. It was unbearably painful. I actually fit in the v16's and they are surprisingly very comfortable, even though they fit super snug. I need to go up half a size though. Maybe because the heel is more padded, but my toes are scrunched up right against the front, whereas in the 15's I had a tiny bit of space. I found that the grip is less so than the Ultra 5's. On which note, can you do a pro's and cons of that video, and maybe mention how the MG version fairs. Thank you Edit: Going up half a size completely ruins the fit and feel of the boot. It's loose and doesn't have the same sock like feeling. Vapors aren't for me it seems.
Would love one of these on the Adidas F50 Messis! Also Josh, I've been a huge fan & supporter of the channel for awhile now across multiple youtube accounts ( lost access to prior one) & I'd love to lend you a pair of my Bugatti Crazyfasts to review if you're interested brother! ❤
I love your videos and your expert analysis on football boots, but I just got my Mercurial vapor AG pro elite, and the size I had to go a size up, so "true to size" for me doesn't work, and it wasn't true to size in my previous Puma future Z
Hi mate just looking at these boots at the moment need some new boots and I really liked the phantom gt elites I broke into this pair really well and I really liked them however I do alot of individual training so they quickly broke down after alot of extensive use. what I'm wondering is that are these boots similar in the way they feel to the gts because I really like the way the gts felt on my feet once I really broke them in and I like the feel of the boot being wrapped around my feet giving a bare foot sensation. Currently deciding between the phantom gx2s or these the mercurial vapor 16s If you could let me know that would be really helpful Thanks mate Great video as usual :)) always keeping me updated on all the latest boots
@@Soccerreviewsforyou ah okay mate thank you so much I will have a look when I get home for some reviews on the sketchers SKX hopefully you have a video up I love your no bs reviews mate brilliant work 🙏 Btw thanks for replying :)
Are the shoes more suitable for wider or narrower feet? Because I have very narrow feet, but I wouldn't buy the Elite model anyway, but the Pro model instead. Please help me
These fit nice for average to narrow feet. Because of the upper material its pretty good for wide feet too, but it should be fine. Id recommended going true to side
Hi joe my foot is 3inches 6cm wide I wear a size 9 mens and the boot I wear is vapor 15 do u recommend me any boots I want to get I have kind of flat feet
The Razor definitely shares some similar characteristics. The biggest difference between them definitely being the feel of the upper and the additional grip on the ball with the Mercs
Love this pros and cons video style, please keep them going! 👍🏽
He used to do these in the past between 2013-2015

Well yeah, it is his brand
Cuz he made it😂
Review the AG soleplate please!!
Just played my 1st game in them. Felt great, loves the nike skin. Can't wait to use them on turf this weekend!

@@tn7328which version do you have? FG? I’m getting AG so I’ll let you know
OG’s remember these kinds of videos back then!
Can you bring back the the small pre vid memes/jokes? They always made me laugh
A great video idea would be a pros and cons style video on the Nike Premier 3
Loved the premier 2s thin K leather upper but the studs are too damn short to get any traction on grass fields .
I would like to hear pros and cons of Vapor 16 Pro and also in TF version
Retail prices on boots MUST AND NEEEEEED to go down
Can we get a Vapor 15 pro vs Vapor 16 pro review.🙏🏽

Can’t even compare to these Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite in terms of traction, comfort, and performance.
What do you hate about them? I was thinking of getting them tomorrow but they don’t even have an AG version so I’m looking for alternatives

Review coming soon!
Any idea on when the Nike ID will be available for this boot?
Great Video Jim!
F50 Elite next?

They’re definitely not like the Phantom GT. The closest thing to that boot would be the Skechers SKX 1 or 1.5

Do these cleats have the cushion for the heel under the insole?

How do the skecher razors match up with these?
The Razor definitely shares some similar characteristics. The biggest difference between them definitely being the feel of the upper and the additional grip on the ball with the Mercs
pro review soon ???
Josh you abandoned car problems channel loved keeping up w your cars :/
I think they were lazy and just decided to take the vapor 15 and put gripknit on it and call it innovation.
Square toe ??? I’m trippin
