might be a bit random but really miss the car trouble content and remembered you posted your sim rig in there and just wanted to ask how that’s been going the past couple years. still have the same rig? and which games do you mainly play on.
Bought a pair of these in the blackout colorway over the weekend. Wore them to warm-up my club team's GK before their final. Lovely as a coaches boot, but I also wore them into my men's league match tuesday and they were an incredible experience to play in. They more or less melted away on my feet in a way that I'm not sure anything else in my collection captures that feeling in the same way. I skipped the Sense generation and previously had the 19 and 20+ to which the Pures feel like the next iteration of in so many ways. I think last year in a boot nerds comment section I had pondered the idea of pairing the torsion frame being married with the 19/20+ upper as they used the SG version back then. This is better than I could have hoped for at the time. I'll be getting a few pairs of these if I can.
Hey Josh, do you prefer the pure .1s or a Morelia neo 3 elite (probably the non beta)? In terms of fit I currently wear vapor 12s but want to maintain lockdown w/ a less restrictive toe box
For anyone who's owned a laceless boot before, does the elasticated material in the laceless system loosen up noticeably over time? Does the lockdown get a lot worse over a period of time?
That hasn't been my experience. The upper will stretch like any other football boots, but the laceless system typically hold their tension really. The only thing that's even more important with a laceless boot is the sizing. You want as little extra room in the boots as possible to maintain the most tension possible, before and after break-in.
@@Soccerreviewsforyou i completely agree. If you're new to laceless maybe try some on first. Occasionally I have popped a stich near the top of the boot on the heel, which hasn't expanded or made any noticeable change.
I’m in the same boat and opted for a discounted pair of Copa sense.1 AG. They may end up releasing a set of these in AG later down the line but needed a new pair now. Whilst I’ve used FG boots on AG before (not advised), I suffered mostly with terrible blisters after every game, largely due to the fact that FG sole plates aren’t designed for the higher friction and heat generated on an AG surface. So I would play it safe and get AG classified boots. I picked up my Sense.1 for cheaper than the Pure.4 and they feel great to me!
@@usmantanveer3459 the studs on the pure.4 are FxG (flexible ground) not FG i dont really know if these are unsufe because there not rounded but labelled as MG
So happy about this. Loved the Copa 19+ and 20+ and was really let down by the Copa Sense+. Predators have lost their way and while I wait for them to find themselves (not holding my breath on that one), the Copa series has been a breath of fresh air. These looked from pre release photos to resemble that shape of the 19 and 20 Copas am I'm thrilled to hear that the lock down is even better than those models! A pair of grip socks with these and they sound like a winner.
@@shaunseaton231 I never knew but recently found out there is an official mizuno Canada. I live in Ontario so idk for u but it’s like $157 on the official website for me
I used to work with leather, kangaroos' skin is generally softer and it is more expensive to buy (not by a huge amount). That said, calf skin is very often as good, if not better. It all depends on the quality of the skin of the individual animal, can nearly any animal and still be soft, plush and premium. Except pig skin, thay just sucks for everything except work-wear, just so porous, good for wear, not for anything else. They are saving a little, much more with recycling the Nemeziz 17 soleplate Cannot wait to buy my Pure.1, might get these as well. The blackout is damn gorgeous.....
I used to work with suppliers too and the difference between calf and kangaroo leather is very substantial if you are getting them in quantity. Calf leather costs about a third of premium kangaroo leather.
@@shl1322 depends where you source it i imagine. Premium calf leather and farm kangaroo leather are not so far off in price, but yes, even that calf-skin is cheaper by a bit
@@Soccerreviewsforyou Can you review the new Decathlon/Kipsta "Traxium Compressor" They seem rather interesting.. quite cheap at 95$ or something like that and claims they'll hold for 10 years (upper/sole bond).
Copa’s are really nice. .1’s are my go to, but I’m glad the laceless variation is still available. I would love to see the Preds with leather again, but that’s pretty much gone now.
Hi Josh, thanks for the review, are those pods on the side soft and helpful for the first touch and pass or are they too thin to actually make a change? Are they comparable ( softness and quality ) to the mizuno rebula cup pods? They look pretty similar. Thank you
The leather seems to have creases in between the curves. Will that increase with the use of shoes? Those creases will surely deplets the value of both touch and quality of shoe
The softer the leather, the more it will crease. Every upper creases. More little creases allow the upper to stay closer to the foot when its bending, where as a firmer one will have bigger fold/creases, which will typically be more noticeable when it comes to feel on your foot and/or the ball. As far as uppers go, these bend and move with your feet better than most!
I no longer buy adidas cleats cause they got rid of their AG pattern. Why not bring it back (the speedflow version not this new triangular 30% shorter cleat thats on the market) and make it available on these.
i've seen some new boots the Traxium Compressor from Kipsta a brand from decathlon. would be interresting to see what you say about a "cheap" brand boot
Hey josh I have a question I have some adidas f50 2014 World Cup remake and my dog ate the insoles as I left them outside to dry what would be the best replacement for them ?
Both are great, it just depends on what you prefer. Objectively the Pure.1 does offer better lockdown and adjustability, which for most people will result in a better overall fit.
First time buyer: I went with Nike... This BS is why I didn't choose adidas less expensive materials, higher price in the name of bending to tyrannical California laws.
@@Deehydrate they are definitely not. The roos that become boots grow on farms. In fact, there is an overpopulation of them in their home continent to the point that Aussies are encouraged to hunt them multiple times of year (if not all year). Educate yourself

A leather boot for the space age. Calfskin can be as soft and supple as some of K-leather out there. Some old school Diadoras used treated calfskin instead of K-leather, well because there are no kangaroos in Italy. Nike in the Legend 7 Elite had a California special made of high quality calfskin. Not all K-Leather is automatically superior to calfskin. The only laceless boot I ever tried was the Speedflow+. Liked them but didn’t love them. Felt slightly looser in the mid-foot and the heel wasn’t totally locked down. These are fine pair of boots, but not for me at full retail. Maybe if I find one with a generous discount I might be tempted.
The new copas look great, the high price I hate, and regarding the reused sole plate, I think it's cool because that's the same plate they used for the customized copa sense for pros, and of thebpros use them they must be great for a reason. And isn't that what we always ask for, similar specs to pros (or as close a spossible). I think many will buy it but dang the price is excessive.
Regular sg Copas have had this soleplate since 2019 for average consumers. And $5usd dollar price increase from $275 19/20+ is not excessive at all. Although they should have lowered it to 250
@@Soccerreviewsforyou can I ask for what reasons? Lockdown? Fit? Traction? It would seem the Tekela has better soleplate for traction and both are quite light. Perhaps a preference for leather over synthetic? Love the content btw!

Videos on the entire line coming soon 👍
These are better than speed flow or ghosted laceless?
I prefer this upper to both of those boots. Speedflow+ is also excellent. I'm not a fan of Speedportal+ personally.
Looks perfect. I got 20+ for 45. Next these.
Top 10 Turf shoes?
Lesss goooo
Is the laceless system good ? Never been used from me but theres a good discount online at the minute!
285 bucks?? Nah I'm good
They like 190 now
Do you have any idea if these will come out with an AG soleplate?
Probably not because the Nemeziz Soleplate was kind of a FG/AG Mixture and they didn‘t have one for these Models at the time either
i've seen some new boots the Traxium Compressor from Kipsta a brand from decathlon. would be interresting to see what you say about a "cheap" brand boot
can I use these on ag? I recently got stuck in the ag grass with my speedportals fg studs and sprained my ankle
They look like a leather Nemeziz
Tekelas. The lockdown is better on the tekelas and they are lighter.
remember how there was leather versions of the f50s i want adidas to do that again but with the speedportal .1
How is the heel?
Way better than the Sense!
Any advice on how to get them on your feet?
how would you compare these to the Copa 20+ ? i love my pair and i haven’t had a new pair since 15:29
The Pures have less leather better/slimmer fit
Very similar in so many ways to those, but better IMO
Basically Ballet pumps with studs. Less and less material is the aim. All great until you get your foot stood on.
literally second skin
Is it for wide feet
I might give these a try. they look nice and if what you tell me is true Jonathan, I will buy these when I have the money
Nike tiempo legeng 9 elite or Copa pure+?
hi can you do a review about the new phantom gx pro?
You should do what’s in my bag again !!!! need to see what’s new out there ! ⚽️🎒
Copa pure plus vs tekela V4
Better laceless boot ?
These look like dress shoes in the combination with those black socks 😀
What about the Copa Pure.2 they look pretty similar to the .
Looks like Kanye designed it for them
Could you make a review of the model with laces?
Any chance to review the .3 (indoor and turf)?
are these better or the ones with laces?
Way better than Copa sense?
if i have really wide feet can i still get these?
Is the model .3 also cow skin?
Are the Superfly 9 academy/ vapor 15 academy any good?
No get the elite or pro

Currex insoles would be a good replacement
Any X series will do
I ordered these in a half size down should I be worried about them being to tight?
Are they?
How were they half size down? Last laceless I owned was predator mutator and they were great true to size but these I want to go half size.
What cleat do you recommend for American Football kickers? I’m looking for a well padded cleat that allows me to kick the farthest I can.
I like the Nike Tiempo Legend 9 Elite if you're after something with more of a padded feel 👍
