While everyone wants top-end football boots like the pros, not everyone can afford them. In the case of the Nike Mercurial series, while the Elites get all of the marketing attention, it's the much cheaper Academy model that sells the biggest numbers. But here's the thing, they just aren't very good, and haven't been for a while. That is until now.
In today's video we take a closer look at the new Nike Zoom Mercurial Vapor 15 Academy, a heavily updated take on a budget friendly Mercurial, that incorporates more tech and more premium materials than we've ever seen before at this price point! How do they differ from the Vapor 14 they replace and how do they compare to the much more expensive Elite version? We discuss all of that and more, helping you decide whether or not these are actually worth the money. Do you like the changes Nike have made?

I like how the stud pattern at the heel looks like a smiley face. ☺️
Now I can’t unsee that lol
Same can’t unsee it
All of the Academy versions of the Nike Vapor, Superfly, and Phantom are low-key useful for people that have to play on both natural and synthetic grass surfaces, because their cleats are designed for both FG and MG surfaces -- the more expensive Pro and Elite versions of these boots are recommended for FG surfaces only.
Cuz academy has smaller studs (cheaper)
@@marek_2578 You're confused.
What makes it MG is that the Academy has six conical studs, which are better suited to turning and twisting on synthetic grass
Hey are those models good fro wide feet? They seems wider to me
@@baboojadoo2554 mercurials have been known to fit very tightly, I can even say it from my own experience, you can play with them but there are more comfortable shoes (leather) for wider feet
Actually ag and fg
lowkey would appreciate the reviews on the academy cleats as someone who cannot drop 200+ on a pair of footy boots keep up the great content!!
Nice to see Nike upgrading their takedowns . That slightly raised back is kinda visually unappealing to me tho. Just looks weird
Isn’t it fucked up how they do it purposely to sell higher end models
@@fwtoro4 yup 😹 and tbh I’m not a big fan of the new mercs. Look too much like American football cleats to me now.
@@chill_chimp_ they offer a unique feel or something and I lowkey wanna buy them just to feel it
Great video! Is a video on the elite AG-plate on its way? Can't wait to hear your thoughts on them.
Video coming soon!
If I’m honest since the Vapor 12 I’ve preferred the academy version as it feels like what I’m used to in a Vapor with no collar
Was waiting on this video good timing jake. Still want to see the vapor pro!!
This is a slap in the face to Nike Zoom air fans. Every athlete knows we spend nearly ALL our time on our forefoot! WHY Nike WHY! You might as well not even have it.
When are you getting an AG Elite pair? I saw Jay Mikes review and curious how the Air Zoom Unit feels on AG which is already bouncy from the rubber filler
Zoom on AG is really works, IMO
When u play on AG 🙌
U can also see my newest video 💪
I wore the academy 15 for a couple of games after coming from pro 13 and I regret not spending the extra money. Academy material is cheap and fits wider than the pros. The extra room makes me feel less in control. Yes I’m already wearing grip socks
thats odd the grip socks fixed it for my feet. you must have very narrow feet or small feet overall
hey josh, which takedown model is better? adidas x speedportal.3 or nike mercurial 15 academy?
Super disappointed that the zoom unit isnt in the forefoot , like the size was to be expected , but nike could've atleast put the zoom unit somewhere that wouldve atleast had a similar effect to the elite
Totally approve, I get the point that it is a takedown model but of they could’ve put in in the heel they could have done it underneith the toes or forefoot( not the 3/4 length as on the higher models)
Shout out the smiley face on the sole plate
They need to bring out the £140 version if this colourway because £250 is too expensive but £75 is too cheap
This character development from Nike is ridiculous. They used to punish -poor- non-wealthy athletes who bought into the Nike hype at any pricepoint other than the absolute peak highest most overpriced. The top tier shoes were usually good-great, certainly never perfect, but the lower end shoes always injured me. Nike was str8 up crushing the dreams of young athletes. I hated them as a company, the shoes were always so bad it would've been better that they didn't even make them.
Your vid on the Mercurial 15 TF Academy convinced me to try and buy them. Solid. lightweight and comfortable shoes. Are they perfect? Nowhere close. Are they the best turf shoe on the market while also being cheap? Yes.
Am I commenting on the wrong video? Perhaps.
Have u seen or tried to get your hands on the new adidas speedportals replacing the speedflow, ik they arent released yet but im seeing them pop up more and more places around the internet?
Got these at my local Nike Outlet for $24.99 so I can’t complain🤷🏽♂️
Can we see the superfly 9 academy review? I ordered those and I want to know what to expect.
Video coming soon!
bro do your own review stop being lazy
he is reviewing from his pov not yours
How am I supposed to do my own review if I don’t have the cleats
@@larryrmirz you didn't understand what he said don't you? He said "I ordered" means he don't have the cleats 😂
I would still opt for the 14 academy. I know it feels cheap, but it's more comfortable and doesn't require breaking in period. In the end, you'd want to focus on the game rather than focusing on your feet. I have the 14 academy for my rotation during training or match, I guess I'm more a rounded studs folk than the bladed studs folk
are these supposed to be tight on the sides?? i wanna be sure before i return them.
Can you do a review on the pro version Josh?
Should I get these or the Nike Phantom GT2 Pro’s?
Which one did u get?
Hey Josh....which is the best boot from the following 3 Superfly 9 academy , Vapour 15 or Puma 3.4? Is there anything else in this price range that you would recommend?
Do you do roundup videos where you recommend say the top 5 budget/takedowns?
Been waiting for this video since the elites got leaked
Does anybody know what happened to the Proximo line from Nike for the Indoor models?
Will Nike release the Pro version of new vapor and Superfly for AG pitch?
I would really like if the higher end models would have the MG stud pattern as well, as most fields nowadays, are different quality types of artificial grass.
should i get these or the phantom gx academy?
Once I saw the smiley face on the soleplate it was all over for me haha
Could u also compare the Nike vapor 15 pro fg
Do they run small ?
Which is better zoom mercurial vapour 15 academy or the phantom gt2 academy
Folow!
What’s a similar boot to the nemeziz 19.1 they’re hard to get now?
There is a smiley face in the heel studs, can’t unsee it
X speedportal when?
is this boot good for wide feet?
They definitely felt quality when I tried them earlier today. Better than the equivalent priced Adidas and the other Nike models.
But not as quality as my old Veloce 2s.
The studs almost like vapor 5😍
I think it would be cool if you expanded your content into other footwear categories, like what you wear casually or when training
Nike already have that Nike have air zoom shoes.
Or do u mean like downgrading the shoes while there still air zoom?
hey, i kinda wanna understand the remark at 3:11. Can someone please explain?
The hypervenom 2’s didn’t have a very good upper
It annoys me how the boots have a gap near the ankle while ur on ur heels, grass easily enters, superflys aren't an option even with the sock for me because of my wide feet.
Can anyone help me find a pair of Adidas X16+ Purechaos, I really gotta get another pair but I can’t find them anywhere in a US mens 9-9.5. can anyone point me in the right direction?
Amazing value for the boot
do they even have air unit, while the academy only have ¼ air unit?
Is this still a good buy in 2024??
They’re solid boots, although the new Vapor 16 Academy is an improvement
Would you say that these are similar material(synthetic upper) to the high end mercurial vapor 10's and 11's before they made vapors out of flynit?
can someone recommend me an online store so that i can buy legit cleats please
I just recently bought these but they are digging into my Achilles and hurts what do I do to fix that issue
Do you prefer to buy nike mercurial 14/8 pro or nike zoom mercurial 15/9 academy?
Great review as usual!
Bro are they good for wide feet please reply😄😄😊
Can anyone tell me how do I lace them cuh I took them out for wash
When will they release the pro variants for these colour ways not the black one’s
Is the upper on these the same as the upper on the indoor version of these boots
Riview vapor academy world cup qatar 🙏
hi josh i hope you can keep reviewing these academy vapors every year, i cannot afford to pay the +230 as a med student so this is super helpful!
if ur upgrading to elites should i get the same size as my academy version??
Been waiting for this video since the elites got leaked
Hello i have a question, for dribbling these or the phantom gx academy?
I haven’t tried the phantom gx academy but I think the vapor 15 because the phantom doesn’t have the grip
Is their coming a pro type of this Colorway?
Where’s the video on the new Speedportal
is the heel lining the same type as the vapor 14 academy?
Can you please review the Pro takedown?
When comes the Review of the Pro Version?
Is good for Artificial Grass?
Can you do a review for the pro version?
I think you're a Nike guy
Bro please reply what shoe should I buy adidas x crazy fast.2 FG or Nike zoom vapor 15 academy FG/mg tell me beo
Probably the Nike what did you get ??
@@Northsmen I got nike bro
Great video! Thank you
Can u do a review of the Pro tier?
What is the difference between nike zoom mercurial vapor 15 elite fg and nike zoom mercurial superfly 9 pro fg?
Materials used
Looking forward to watching!
I payed 100€
Are you gonna do the mercurial pro?
I’m thinking about getting it but I don’t know if it’s good enough to wear
Video coming soon!
Made in ….?
Are the studs safe to use on AG, if you play alot on it? Cause I find the ag version to slippery on the pitch when its raining
This is late but they sell an ag stud plate version for every model of the mercurial, I currently own the ag mercurial 15 academy
Btw don’t get the clubs there bad
Hello
Good 👍👍👍👍
Early
ANOTHER BANGER!!
Is there any difference between last year model to this model?
Yes! They changed almost everything
Love your content
Hey josh are they smaller than the elite
Sizing is the same 👍
🔥🔥🔥🔥
These hurt my feet SO bad. What can I do? Please help
Update, it wasn’t the cleats 😂 I had bone bruise
@@Jaycuubbbro WHAT!
Turu, ngantuk
nyimak
Should I size up if I get these??
No they fit perfectly
It depends where you get them from
🙂 studs
For anyone with these, do i go true to size? Also if anyone played with them on turf I would like to know how you liked their performance
They run pretty small..I’m size 10.5 at most (10 smallest) and had to get 11’s. Haven’t used them yet though I’ll keep you posted! 🤙🏼
@@Jaycuubb how is it been?I really thinking about that to buy these.
@@gabe8176 I’ve really been enjoying them. They’re nice & snug and fit perfectly for me. They’re a lot more comfortable if you have some extra insoles around (same size or your foot won’t fit). A lot of my teammates get the elites over the academy’s but I didn’t even try the elites so I wouldn’t be able to tell you the difference. Overall, they’re working for me just fine so far. I’ll keep you updated if anything changes. We play mostly on turf btw
@@Jaycuubb Thank you for the respond.I still not decided yet what to buy. I've been really thinking of buying the tiempo 9 academy because I play a lot of times being a cb.So idk,but I will decide in the next couple days.
🙂🙃
Josh from sr4u pls do one for the club models for the mercs for both the Superfly and vapor
Clubs are garbage, don’t bother…spend the extra money
Do these boots remind you of the vapor 10 top models in any way? That’s what I immediately thought of when I saw them.
Not really.
