that's what I'm doing!! lmao. bought Adidas Predator instinct for $50. lol also Adidas Predator instinct crazylight for $150. and Puma evopower 1.2 leather for $70. all are amazing shoes.
I am so very glad I found your reviews, Josh!! I love these vlog reviews. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos and the information in them!! Extremely helpful!!
I need an answer to this, please respond. I purchased a pair of Hypervenom Phantom IIs about 2 months ago and I've been using them maybe once a week since then. The thing is, the material is still stiff to me in my opinion. Is this how the phantom IIs should feel or should I put more break in time into them?
The problem is that there are so many bright contrasting colors in such a small area all in frame, so the camera freaks out some times. You could manually adjust that, but it would cause issues with other products in the frame.
Josh first off sorry for posting this here. I just thought you'd notice comments easier on a newer video than old one. I recently picked up superfly 4s in my true size and a half size smaller. I know in your superfly 4 videos you say go true to size. My true size is very comfortable but I feel the half size down fits better length wise with less to none toe space. However the smaller size I have a bit of discomfort on top of my foot where the shoe wraps. I was wandering will the flyknit stretch after break In time. The pain isn't a hurtful pain but when first slipping them on I felt my foot falling asleep lol
Have you ever considered making a video where you go back an give your updated impressions over soccer cleats? Maybe update 2-3 different cleats in each video
My opinions don't really change all that much over time. I'm very careful about what I share, because a lot of people base their buying decisions on my personal opinion. With that in mind, when I share my opinion, the information that I provide is generally my final thoughts on the matter. If that makes sense. There isn't really anything that's going to feel different about a shoe that you don't experience in the first week of wear.
that makes perfect sense but the only topic that comes to that would take some time to show is stretching. Also like you said in you most recent video you can give you more personal opinions in these new vlog style video and since you test so many maybe discussing you personal favorites would be cool at the end of each month or two.
josh i have a little bit of a flat foot and a bone near the middle inside of the foot is bulging a bit and i fit into my vapor 10 so i was wondering if i could fit into these comforatbly
+soccer reviews for you in your Q&A 2 video you said soccer cleats were just changing but they weren't necessarily getting better. Do you still stand by that opinion with the release of the obra 2 and superfly 5?
I think the new Superfly and Obra are both better than the previous generations, but I don't think they'll make you play better. You generally expect the new generation to be better than the last, although that's not always the case.
Do you know when you are getting or when the new Umbro Accuro comes out? I believe thats what its called, I know you will someday just cant seem to find a lot if info on Umbro in the US
I'm working on getting a pair. US release dates are tricky because Umbro isn't all that popular in the US anymore, so there isn't really anything official.
+Soccer Reviews For You I know for sure its hard to get anything without international purchases, but thank you! just gonna wait patiently till they eventually go on sale in the future I guess to justify it. keep up the great reviews, always love the content
Hey Josh! Would you say this boot has a padded sensation, but still a good, close ball feel?? (similar to the touch with the OG Nike Skin) Thanks a lot, Billy
One of the big reasons why these "mid-cut" shoes have become so popular, is because of the mid-cut look. So much so, that other brands have know started to play around with the cut of their shoes as well. It's entirely possible for them to make a shoe like the Obra 2 low-cut without the collar, but I think that takes away from the "cool factor" of the shoes for a lot of people. The enthusiasts might want a low-cut version, but the vast majority of people, the average consumer, would probably prefer the collar. Regardless of how the collar impacts the fit and feel of the shoe, the way it looks is why these mid-cut shoes have received so much attention. From a marketing stand point, it just makes sense right now to maintain the mid-cut thing because it's in such high demand, but that doesn't mean that things won't change in the future. This is just my opinion of course, as there really isn't a true answer to this question, but hopefully this explains some of the reasoning. They could make a low-cut version, but I honestly don't think it would sell nearly as well as the mid-cut version, even if the mid-cut was more expensive.
Hey josh i bought the tiempo 6 in march and by june the sole plate had almost completely ripped off. A similar thing happened when i got the obras last year. Do you know what I can do to prevent this ?
hey josh, are the magista obra 2 as grippy as the predator instinct? i trip over the ball when running at high speed with the instincts.. im worried if i'll have the same problem with the obra 2.
Josh, is there any protective piece covering the joining between the sole plate and the upper in the toe box area that helps to prevent separation from occurring? Thanks
Josh I'm thinking of getting a pair I have a Nike magista obra 1 right now and they were I good boot could you to a comparison on them to please thx line the vids xx
I'm looking for a new set of cleats and I'm not sure what to go for. I have wide feet and a budget of probably at most $150. They don't have to be a brand new release just a good shoe. Thanks.
So you mentioned that the Obra 2 is more comfortable in the heel than the Hypervenom 2, how much more comfortable? What upper is softer to you, Obra 2 or HVP 2(new updated version)?
Like I said in the video, it doesn't feel like the other mid-cut shoes from Nike. They feel normal, meaning that you don't really have to get used to how they fit.
Hey josh, I had the magista obra l but when I tied the laces there was a bubble or extra pocket of space where the laces ended in the toe box will it happen to the magista obra ll to.
That's a common problem when your shoes are too big. If your foot is filling in the front of the shoe with minimal to no extra space, that won't happen. That's the case with any shoe.
I have an older pair of magistas. they are the wold grey and blue ones but they don't have the upper. would getting a size 10.5 in the new magistas orbas be a good pick because that's my size in my previous magistas or should I get an 11?
I think these fit and feel more like low-cut shoes in the heel rather than what Nike has done with previous models. Nothing is better or worse. Like I said in the video, the collar is just an extension piece. It doesn't have to be there for the boot to function the way it is supposed to.
+Soccer Reviews For You I have the vapor X which is low cut and the hypervenom phantom 2 but I can't decide if I like mid cut or low cut more. I've worn both cleats for at least 1 month and I don't know which one I like more. Do you have any recommendations on ways I can choose between the two?
Hey josh I'm from the UK and I am a striker/winger. I have about £150 or $200 to spend what is the best pair of football boots I could buy for that price ?
I am so confused and not sure what size should I go with the Obra II ?! I normally wear a 9US but when I went with the 9.5US for the Tiempo legend it was a little bit bigger than what I like. Can you help me please?
They're entirely different. Your own preferences will determine what feels better to you. I personally prefer the more padded feel of the Obra 2, but you like a more barefoot feel, the Vapor is what you'll prefer.
I'm just sitting here buying all the older models since they've gone on sale
Thinking the exact same thing lol YNWA
that's what I'm doing!! lmao. bought Adidas Predator instinct for $50. lol also Adidas Predator instinct crazylight for $150. and Puma evopower 1.2 leather for $70. all are amazing shoes.
Swoosh i bought some vapor 10s 1 1/2 years ago and got it for 60$
Found first gen opus for $60
How is the opus 1 , i am thinking of getting it?
Josh , you've improved so much. your shooting ,skills,and dribbling are superb. keep up the great work btw love the videos.
my name is Jacobo too!
+Jacobo Barron The host name is JOSH, this dudes name is JOAN and his last name is JACOBO.
What you said literally had no relevance
Those 22 minutes flew by. Great video, and this style of reviewing really helps in deciding for a new boot. 10/10
Not the biggest fan on the colorway, but it looks like a really comfortable boot!
+Jose yea man

I love this video. Great job Josh
josh do a hypervenom Phantom 2 vs Mercurial super fly 5
I need an answer to this, please respond. I purchased a pair of Hypervenom Phantom IIs about 2 months ago and I've been using them maybe once a week since then. The thing is, the material is still stiff to me in my opinion. Is this how the phantom IIs should feel or should I put more break in time into them?
The original variation of the Phantom 2 is stiff in general. That's just how they are.
Thank you so much you vidoe helped was about to get them but needed a bit of reviews thanks definitely helped !!!
Nice video Josh, I think for certain shots of the boots it would be better to turn down the exposure on the camera settings
The problem is that there are so many bright contrasting colors in such a small area all in frame, so the camera freaks out some times. You could manually adjust that, but it would cause issues with other products in the frame.
+Soccer Reviews For You yeah that makes sense, thanks for replying! We also make football videos, just hit 4k
I did not know you were that good at soccer/football
love these vlogs josh
It's funny when he scores and he just walks away and says that was too good I'm done! like were you goin? 😂 Nice vide tho!

They don't stretch much at all.

Loving these videos
Love this series josh
josh i have a little bit of a flat foot and a bone near the middle inside of the foot is bulging a bit and i fit into my vapor 10 so i was wondering if i could fit into these comforatbly
These will fit quite a bit different in comparison to a Vapor 10, but you should be fine.
Hey Josh, how similar is the fit between these and the MagistaX finale? I enjoyed the fit in those and wanted to know how I'd get on in these, thanks!
You can't really compare the two. The shape is somewhat similar, but the feel is very different.
+soccer reviews for you in your Q&A 2 video you said soccer cleats were just changing but they weren't necessarily getting better. Do you still stand by that opinion with the release of the obra 2 and superfly 5?
I think the new Superfly and Obra are both better than the previous generations, but I don't think they'll make you play better. You generally expect the new generation to be better than the last, although that's not always the case.
Keep doing these videos and great. Video mate keep it up
Love these vlog tests

Hey josh I wanted to know what camera do you use for your reviews and play test videos .
They're both Sony cameras. Not sure what specific models. I don't know all that much about cameras.
Josh what do you think is a better boot in your opinion? Nike magista Obra 2 or the Nike hypervenom phantom 2??
I don't think that one is better, they're just different.
Hey Josh! Would you say this boot has a padded sensation, but still a good, close ball feel?? (similar to the touch with the OG Nike Skin)
Thanks a lot, Billy
It's more padded in comparison to the NikeSkin available on the Phantom 1 and 2. I compare it to that material a little bit in the video.
Any plans to ID a pair of Magista Obras?
Yes.
hey josh, I'm looking to pick up the x16 purechaos or the messi's, which one do you prefer??
I think pure chaos are better
th-cam.com/video/gSdKiEkCIYY/w-d-xo.html
Pure chaos fit very wide . I personally Bought the Messi's and I love the feel and fit ( I've used them on turf and they're durable ).
Why do you think Nike don't make low cut flyknit shoes? I really don't see why they don't as I think they would be really popular.

So much so, that other brands have know started to play around with the cut of their shoes as well.

Superfly V vs. Obra 2!!!
hey for a central midfielder what boots do you reckon would perform better the Magista Obra 2 or ACE 16.1
Watch this video, it will explain some things you should know th-cam.com/video/8xZsLTf7t8A/w-d-xo.html
Hey josh is the magista obra 2 true to size
Just picked these up at a Nike outlet for $70! By far my luckiest find yet.
Josh, could you also do a comparison video between the Magista Obra 2, the superfly 5, and the hypervenom phantom 2 with the new upper please
That will be happening soon. Stay tuned.
When you got them did you keep on wearing them and if you did did u break them in and if you did how much time did it take you?
This video is me wearing the boots for the very first time and explaining how that goes.
Do you think another academy pack will be released due the addition of the Magista 2 and Superfly 5
I have no clue?
9:44 I like that trick keep doing some more videos like this one
Josh would u recommend that Magistas for a foward? Also is this a good boot for speed? Thanks.
Watch this video, it will explain some things you should know th-cam.com/video/8xZsLTf7t8A/w-d-xo.html
I'm assuming you prefer the Nike grip socks over trusox? I want to try a pair myself. Lol
Check out this video th-cam.com/video/ZbOwDR54c8U/w-d-xo.html
Hey josh

Hey Josh, what's your personal favorite Legend 6 colorway that's been released so far?
I though the Camo Pack one was really nice. I'm a big fan of the launch colorway as well.
+Soccer Reviews For You Thanks for putting out awesome content!
Hey josh i bought the tiempo 6 in march and by june the sole plate had almost completely ripped off. A similar thing happened when i got the obras last year. Do you know what I can do to prevent this ?

hey josh, are the magista obra 2 as grippy as the predator instinct? i trip over the ball when running at high speed with the instincts.. im worried if i'll have the same problem with the obra 2.
Not at all. These are nothing like those Preds.
Josh, is there any protective piece covering the joining between the sole plate and the upper in the toe box area that helps to prevent separation from occurring? Thanks
No.
Josh I'm thinking of getting a pair I have a Nike magista obra 1 right now and they were I good boot could you to a comparison on them to please thx line the vids xx

Yes.

love these vlogs
I fucking love the colors on this boot. It looks bad ass.
I'm looking for a new set of cleats and I'm not sure what to go for. I have wide feet and a budget of probably at most $150. They don't have to be a brand new release just a good shoe. Thanks.
Check out this video th-cam.com/video/vgjHcuUIidA/w-d-xo.html
Are the Magistas gonna be a problem on wide footed players
They'll fit most people.
They are actually recommended for wide footed players. One of the main reasons I bought them.
Josh do you know when the Nike hyper strong match sleeves that are kind of like storellis come out?
I have no clue?
I was wondering if you were to do a review on the youth version of the cleats
Possibly.
So you mentioned that the Obra 2 is more comfortable in the heel than the Hypervenom 2, how much more comfortable? What upper is softer to you, Obra 2 or HVP 2(new updated version)?
Like I said in the video, it doesn't feel like the other mid-cut shoes from Nike. They feel normal, meaning that you don't really have to get used to how they fit.
And the uppers? From your take on the Obra 2 it is more of a padded sensation, but which one is softer? more like a natural leather?
Hey josh, I had the magista obra l but when I tied the laces there was a bubble or extra pocket of space where the laces ended in the toe box will it happen to the magista obra ll to.
That's a common problem when your shoes are too big. If your foot is filling in the front of the shoe with minimal to no extra space, that won't happen. That's the case with any shoe.
I have an older pair of magistas. they are the wold grey and blue ones but they don't have the upper. would getting a size 10.5 in the new magistas orbas be a good pick because that's my size in my previous magistas or should I get an 11?
Sizing is the same as the previous generation of Magistas.
Do you like these more than low cut cleats or do u still prefer low cut?
I think these fit and feel more like low-cut shoes in the heel rather than what Nike has done with previous models. Nothing is better or worse. Like I said in the video, the collar is just an extension piece. It doesn't have to be there for the boot to function the way it is supposed to.

I can't tell "you" what "you" like more.
josh can you review the newest adidas x 16.1 when it comes out
Those shoes he had on before putting the Magistas on were really dope what are those called ?
th-cam.com/video/ac_KgEUZVSw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks and keep up the great work, your soccer deals save me so much money :)))))))))
That first outside of the foot shot doe
Great video keep up the good work 👌👌
Josh I have a pair of mecurial victories in a size 10 would the fit be the same if I got the vapor 10s in the same size
Sizing will be the same, but the fit won't be.
I have a question I’m size 8.5 uk and I don’t know what size to get for the superfly 5
What size do you get them in. Do you go a size higher or go your regular size?
They run half a size small.
Hey, do you think you can make a review on the "Adidas Ace 16.3 Primemesh Indoor shoes"?
Possibly.
Is there a low-cut version of his shoe or can you only get it with the upper?
The Obra 2 is the only version with a Flyknit upper.
Hey josh I'm from the UK and I am a striker/winger. I have about £150 or $200 to spend what is the best pair of football boots I could buy for that price ?
Check out this video, it will explain some things you should know th-cam.com/video/8xZsLTf7t8A/w-d-xo.html
Who else enjoys videos like this?
josh i would love to know the durability of this shoe. would you review it
th-cam.com/video/aDnUqIBsArI/w-d-xo.html
I am so confused and not sure what size should I go with the Obra II ?! I normally wear a 9US but when I went with the 9.5US for the Tiempo legend it was a little bit bigger than what I like. Can you help me please?
Sizing is the same as the Tiempo line.
+soccer reviews for you
would the adidas X16+pure chaos be suitable for narrow feet? if not would the X16.1 be any better?
+Wannabe Messi Woaaaahhhh
They'll fit most people.
+Soccer Reviews For You thanks
thanks for the quality videos
in your opinion, what felt better for kicking? vapor 11 or magista 2
They're entirely different. Your own preferences will determine what feels better to you. I personally prefer the more padded feel of the Obra 2, but you like a more barefoot feel, the Vapor is what you'll prefer.
Nice one Josh!
Josh which do u prefer? Obra 1 or 2
2
I like what they've done with the Obra 2.
+Soccer Reviews For You thx for replying
Nice Person, Nice Content, Nice Lighting, Nice Video
Would you say this is the most innovate boot available? If not, what is, in your opinion?
It's one of the more unique experiences you can get from a knitted boot.
Josh, when are the Nike elite pack coming out?
Mid August.
Which one is more comfortable and has better feel for the ball
Magista obra 2 or puma evotouch
Feel and comfort are both based around personal preference. They're different and it depends on what you like.
+Soccer Reviews For You which one has more padded feel
wich do you perfer these or the puma touch pro
I really like the evoTOUCH Pro, but if I had to choose, it would probably be the Obra 2.
Josh, will you do another QnA
Possibly.
Is the upper on these less thicker then the first and how does it compare to the tiempo
It's a similar thickness to the original, but with the addition of the texture that actually does impact the feel on the ball.
If the collar on a Nike boot is to wide/big will it affect the performance of the shoe
Not at all. The collar has nothing to do with the fit of the shoe. It's just an extension piece.
+Soccer Reviews For You thank you it's awesome when I get a response from you now I don't have to worry about getting a top end Nike model
