A lot of these “retro” models are better looking than the newer models
Except for those prices tags on the “retros” 💀
They really are better looking and simple
Sometimes less is more.
True except the Superflys.. for some reason those are my weakness 🤦🏽♂️
Not just that it just feels better as well
Chicharito plays in Superfly 4s probably because he played some of his best seasons in them
I noticed that too
It started when started playing in Madrid
When he played in tiempos he was ballin aswell
gimme any of the first 4 mercurials or copa superstars 10x better than the new ones
I know people didn’t really like them but I’ve been in love with the Nemeziz 17+ agility 360. Have owned 4 pairs in a few different colors. I’ll definitely be bummed out the day I can’t find them anymore.
true i got 2 pairs and i loved them
I feel the same way about the Phantom Vnm...
Same way I feel about the puma one 18.1
For me that boot is puma Evo speed 1.4
Nah ur speaking complete fax
Football boots from 2014-2018/19 are just elite
Fax
Predator instinct still going strong
My theory is the players find a boot with fit and touch that is unmatched for them, and if newer models can't top it they will revert to their "old reliable". Fit is everything for the top players and some will sacrifice weight or new tech to get it. I imagine the next revolution in tech will be boots custom built - sole plate, stud patter, upper - to the geometry of individual players.
it already is
I've had a pair of tiempo legend 4s in my boot rotation for over 10 years now. If I ever spot a pair on the resale market, I think I'd risk it and pull the trigger. They're just so good, to me
Had the foresight to get 3 pairs of Tiempo 4s back when they were out. Now I’m finally in the market again and it’s tricky. What’s your closest alternative today fit-wise?
Always been a BIG fan of retro football boots, for some reason they just fit my feet better compared to the modern day boots. Still rocking my superfly 1s and vapour 8s!
You hit the nail on the head with the over inflated resale prices. I got a brand new pair of the Hypervenom Phantom in the 2014 World Cup colourway for £80 back in 2016. I’d now have to pay £250+ for the exact same pair!
I've been getting F50s on ebay since they came out. Now, the prices are getting close to what they were released for.
I've taken care of and had my Total 90 Laser 1s since they came out and one of the high school kids on the team I coach offered me 200 for them 😂 I was like nah they're beat and I've had them for too long to give them up now
Love retro boots, so much better than change for the sake of change. It is always great to see pro footballers in Mexico in classic Preds ❤️ Absolutes, Pulses and Accelerators
Also, resale is always ridiculous
I just bought a pair of Hypervenom 1s , newer isn't alway better. I see guys in my sunday league in old F50s and T90s all the time . I've had a pair of Vapor 13 pros the last 2 seasons that are broken in super soft.
I'm wearing the lotto stadio with the green logo and tongue, I used to wear them in the late 90s and still buy them direct from lotto!!
Wore a pair of red f50 tunits for a whole season from new and lasted better then some newer ones I have had! Classics and wish I had another pair! But have no been beaten
Thank you for amazing content
Had 2 pairs of Predator Instinct (2014). When adidas discontinued them, I immediately store them because I want to save them.. took them out couple of month ago, and the soleplate immediately broke off when I bend them 😂🤣😅
We need the hypervenom phantom 1 back I swear the old boots are the best
I'm still wearing the Hypervenom 1, i picked up a few pairs that should last me a while
I still have my adidas Beckenbauer super i bought in 1976.Still wear them every now and again. I currently alternate between my Puma king and adidas world cup. Both of which i have had for 20 years . I just cannot bring myself to take to the football pitch in boots that would be better suited to appearing on strictly come dancing. That is just my view , Im sure people love the newer boots but im just a dinosaur that survived the Comet strike. Very entertaining and informative program you post. Keep it up. Best,Gerry.
the models that you mentioned are durable and comfortable. Lots of young people are discovering it now. And honestly weight of football shoes are not really that important for adults - so no real advantage in new models.
Love the GMT master 2 batman 💯
Lukas Nmecha from VFL Wolfsburg is still wearing the Adidas F50 Adizero from like 2014.
I just picked up a brand new pair of Stun Pack Puma One 1s for $99 on Fruugo. They ended up being much better than the later models.
Some oldies are goodies
I currently play in the pradator lz 2012 model they’re holding up fine after a season
i still have my total ninety boots and play with them sometimes the spikes are gone and glue but i love them
What about a pair leather boots from late 2015, for example the leather Ace 15.1’s?
I'm using purple Superflys in sg from 2012. Still use them to this day
I’m still wearing hyper venom 3s. Got a pair of sg pro’s last year on eBay for $100. I have two outdoor pairs and one indoor pair that I will only wear.
I still wear my Hypervenom 3’s, I’ll be super sad when they finally die
I got the "pro" model a year ago and Idk what I'm gonna do when they break.. PUMA Netfit 4.1 is pretty close in terms of feel if you look for something similar. But there's nothing just like the Hypervenom 3 😩💔
i bought a pair of hypervenoms in 7th grade the blue and orange one and they just now came apart today maybe it’s the quality used that’s way better
Can I still get some sr4u laces. My mizuno rebula cups laces are way too long.
Have a superfly 3 somewhere, used it probably 5 times. Any takers? Lol
I still mow the lawn wearing my old copas.
sick! Tiempos from 2010 euro pack been my lawnmowers for a while now
@@blaralte Keep on aerating, brother.
@@blaralte that was a World Cup year! 🤪👍🏼
@@pulso7784 🤣🤦
nice batman josh. please make some more car vids too on car problems
I had burned throughout the R9’s Nike from 1998 and paid $150 back then ! Now I dont pay more than $100 for a pair (tiempo and mizuno TF and phantom academy gt2 FG) Loving the pure grip socks thanks and great content in the videos.
I’ve bought like 3-5 pairs of brand new cleats post 2014 and every single pair I have just put aside and set in a box and gone back to my ctr maestri II till they finally separated at the sole now I’m devastated and have to decide what’s next thinking tiempo legend 9?
Biggest mistake I did was wear vapor V that were brand new, tore right on the first cut😅 I only paid $100 because the previous owner cut the lace cover off
i want these superfly 4‘s but i cant find some🥺🥺
what would you say about wearing a brand new pair of vapor 11s
Is there a way I can buy the Nike mercurial super fly 4’s from you?
Adizero F50s from 2013/14 just hit different. I swear I play better in them, trying not to thrash my last pair.
do you have any idea where i can purchase adidas 17.1 or 16+
I've kept my OG colorway of the Nike Hypervenom Phantoms. Haven't played with them in a while cause of an injury. Didn't realize the resale value of this boot was sitting over $700!
There's definite value to OG Hypervenoms, but I'm not sure that $700, especially if they're used, is a realistic value. Understand that "asking prices" are just that, and not necessarily a true determination of real value. In other words, I don't think there's an active market of people paying that much for boots.
@@Soccerreviewsforyou that’s true, thanks for pointing that out. That being said, I’d never sell them regardless of what their value is, new or used. They’re a very special pair of boots. Still haven’t come across one that feel as good on my feet.
Classics are always in style!
I have some 2016 green Adidas Ace 16.1 i never got around to wearing them...
In the early 2000’s I was able to get any football boots , I had the first F50s ,every R9 starting from the mercurial vapors 00- 06 total 90s 01-04 and the preds line till 06 Damm I messed up by gifting the majority of them. I wish I kept the Golden R9 🤦🏾♂️
F50 gang till I die these niggas copying the swag
I’ve been wearing old boots for 3 years now, I don’t like the fit or style of any of the new boots, the most recent I bought puma king and the sole came off the boot after 4 wears, I want a pair of yellow magista but that’s impossible to find
Vapor VIII was arguably one of the best vapors. If mine weren’t completely worn to shreds I’d still be wearing them
Not arguably. It is one of the best Vapors. I had the beautiful Euro 2012 Clash colorway, what I would do for another pair.
Somebody please make a Comparison video on Lacrosse Cleats 🥍 & Soccer (Football) Cleats & American Football Cleats. Also can you wear Soccer Cleats for American Football 🏈???
Was in Lanzarote and came across original 2010 F50 Adizero yellow and black, they are amazing and best part is I got them for 90 quid😂😂
Would love to see the copa mundials FG make a return on the pitch. And I'm not talking about the ref only lol
Hi i want to know if there’s any website where can i buy those old models of tiempos ( legend 5,6,7) elite fg for max 120€
Man those yellow t90s were my dream boot
I miss that classic mercurial design with the big nike logo
I still use predator LZ one hell of a boot and should have enough pairs to last my life time
Hi Josh will review on adidas predator mania sg 2022
Those predators precision😤 I bought a blue pair over 20 years ago. Used them in the back yard for 10 minutes and let my mom know we need to go return them for the black ones 😂
Bro the re-sale market is outrageous. I remember buying Total 90 Laser in 2013 for like 120 on eBay? Now I’m seeing them go for 400? Laughable.
Puma evopower (?) royal blue best boot ever and they where stolen. Loved them never found a replacement pair
Man youre fkn awesome. Love your videos. You look like from Spain tho! and your last name... maybe spaniard parents? Cheers mate! God bless!
Super important question. I was thinking of buying a pair of mercurial vapor xs, but they’re soft ground cleats. Would it be okay to visit a cobbler and replace the sole plate with the sole plate of another pie of cleats I have of the same size? would it maintain the same performance with the replacement sole?
Yeah as long as they use good adhesive 👍🏻
i wouldnt
This season i decide to wear a predator 18.1 leather and im playin the best season of my carreer
Whats about the nike mercurial gs 2? Would you say they are still playable? Or a risk to break earlier?
I didn't think the GS1 or 2 were all that playable back when they came out 😂 Some of the stiffest boots Nike has ever made!
The ronaldinho yellow tiempo boots are my favorites of all time
There is this new inflated market for old and resell products for soccer. This sellers just buy a product, and post it on a inflated price just to wait if someone bites on it. Just recently there a special for Bayern green Oktoberfest jerseys for $40. The special was over and now sellers are offering the same jersey for $120. Some people are bitting on this price gouging.
Nike already makes bank with basketball retros and now protros, with Kobe’s. They should just retro/protro older boots.
I have a pair of r9 talaria 3 they are amazing
Any idea why chicharito takes off the Nike sign from his superflys?
Because he doesn’t have a contract with Nike
I’m definitely a fan of Adidas’s remakes, I find them to be more interesting then the actual new stuff their releasing.
Sucks that Adidas likes cockteasing us by making them limited AF
I’d pay any amount of money for some vapor 10’s. 😭 best boot ever
If you have a pair of boots that fit you perfectly and are readily available now, stock up. I wish the phantom venom was still readily available.
I have:
An adidas F30 tunit (2007)
An adidas Messi F50 adizero (2013)
Nike Mercurial vapor X CR7 (2014)
Nike Mercurial Véloce (two pairs-2014)
Adidas Messi 15.1 (two pairs from 2015)
Adidas Messi 16.1
Mercurial Vapor CR7 Chapter 1 (2016)
Adidas Ace 17.2 (2017)
And my most "modern" boot is a Mercurial vapor academy Dream Speed (2019)
What do you think of ur Messi 16.1s?
I miss the superfly 4☹️
To be honest I still prefer Nike Mercurial Superfly 4 and Nike Magista Opus 1. I've used both of them for 4 years and the performance was amazing.
New trend is amazing, I always thought it was lame most people wearing the same boot because it’s the newest style in its respective brand and sponsored players had to advertise the new shoe every 3-6 months lol
I’ve been buying the f50 adizero for as long as I could afford them I bought my first pair the 2014 yellow Messi ones on eBay brand new with the box and insoles for 80 dollars and back in 2017 and they were the most comfortable shoes a couple years later I bought some all white leather 2013 adizeros and those last me a long time I ended up buying those at my local soccer store and they had so many other color ways they closed now but it’s a shame that they’re not open I would’ve bought the rest of their stock
Hey Nicolas quick question for you. I was looking to buy a pair of f50 adizero and was wondering if it is still worth it to buy them since they are almost ten years old but have never been worn. What are your thoughts?
Instead of overpaying for a pair of boots like buying them 5+ years after release when they arguably become "retro/rare" I buy them abt 2 years after release for super cheap. About a year ago I bought hypervenom 3 ("PRO") for surprisingly cheap and I'm absolutely in love with them, same thing for PUMA Netfit 4.1.
I'm gonna probably cry when those hypervenoms break but those Netfits are like the closest thing to them so I'll have to stock up on them 😶
Just please back Nike T90 IV laser! If they came back out with that one or the Air Zoom total 90 II. I’d just buy a bunch of them and be good to go. These new boots just aren’t for me. I’m on my last pair of t90 Iv lasers now, and they won’t make it much longer 😢
I liked my nike obras a lot. I wished they still make them
I always liked older boots
I currently have 4 pairs of Hypervenom Phantom 1, is that too much? 😅
Definitely not 😂
just bring back the T90 v3 plz....I miss them bad boys lol
Just snagged a pair of 2016 ace 17.1’s for $55 now I’m thinking of reselling them for $150 lol no I’ve run my last pair down and poked a couple holes playing rugby…as the kicker I love these and recommend to all
Several still for sale under $65
I got a pair of Vaopr 5s they broke in 20 minutes of practice.
(Sad face)
I’m still wearing my predator 18+ in that WC color way
Football boots in the past were made to last a long time.
Unlike the ones today that are pretty much funky socks at this point.
Where’s the best place to buy superfly 4s since there an older model ?
There will be a few pairs popping up on deadstockboots.com very soon!
@@Soccerreviewsforyou thanks man 🙏🏽
Pogba had crazy magistas
I want the Powerswerves back
Good to see,A pair of boots worth 1k to Auba is nothing to have fun in without a contract
The materials are shit now...football cleats used to be amazing, Kleather supple w nice weight behind em for a rocket shot, now evrythings crappy tpu and some composite fo plastic materials that crack the plate after 1-2 hard szns.
3:02 but they are 10 times better looking than new superflys
On that note ,sell me those Total 90's 🥴
i am being attacked for having another pair of ctrs after my other ones of 6 years finally gave out😭
never too many ctrs! such a nice boot, shame the durability isn’t the best
even if its fake we at Philippines in visayas we will still use it for our league 👍
They just don’t make them like they used to that’s why, some older boots are the goat boots and cannot be replaced fact!!!
Old vintage football boots are better than the modern football boots ! I wish I could purchase the Blue mercurial Talaria boots !!
I got a pair Of Brand New Nike Total 90 Laser III size 9.5 For $80, best deal ever
Because old is gold.
If Ronaldo were to ask Nike to make him a pair of superfly 4s would they be able too? Not sure if they have the same tech laying around
That would all depend on how much of the equipment they keep for making soleplates and uppers. I would assume that anything is possible, but I can't imagine that they have that equipment at the ready given the amount of time that has passed and how many new models they release.
Ozil been rocking the older Nikes
Playing in Tunits in today’s game has to be a lost bet/meme wear. Man those were just absolutely terrible even back then
