Nike and Adidas have been battling for the title of best "speed" boots for a while now, and over the last few years it's been really close. 2022 however, well, it's not even close. At least in my opinion.
In today's video we compare the Nike Zoom Mercurial Superfly 9 and Vapor 15 Elite to the Adidas X Speedportal+ and Speedportal.1. What are the differences, which offer the better technology, and perhaps most importantly, which one is the best?

Good boots can't make you play better, but bad ones can definitely make you play worse. To me, what makes a boot "good," is that it offers the least resistance to you. It works with you instead of ever holding you back.
What shoes would you use?
@@sebastianacuna9415 I’m a Mercurial Vapor guy. Currently using the Vapor 14 Elites.
Please tell me what you think is a bad boot.
@@sammyb23x the old Adidas predator.3, the heel lockdown was horrifying, anytime I went for a shot my heel would slide putting me in an akward angle for the shot/cross/long pass, that was a bad boot.
@@sammyb23x a bad boot is something we kinda can’t tell you cus we all have different opinions but sometimes you should find something you like and has good protection 😁 I hope I helped.
We need a turf ranking
Starting with worst value for money, best budget boots, and finishing with the best turf boots
Want to upvote this a billion times. So many play on turf that a video like that would be absolutely godsend
@@BEnne1985 was thinking at exactly the same reason when I wrote the comment, turf is so popular nowadays...
Yeeeesssss
No turf we riot
yeah sure
These modern top-of-line football boots are built more like track running shoes (light weight, strong soles, good traction).
The old football boots from ages ago were built with heavy uppers to protect the feet during a hard game. No wonder modern football players are getting foot injuries like metatarsal fractures more often.
Less protection, more ball control.
My competitive playing days are done, but even back in 2014 switched from leather uppers to the Messi f50s that had synthetic uppers. The first time I got my foot stepped on in a game with those on it felt like a sword went through my boot. There was no protection up top. It was brutal.
I could care less how light they were, I went back to a full leather and all was well.
As someone who has both here are my two cents: When it comes to the vapor 15's they are definitely more comfortable out of the box. The zoom unit really is a welcome addition that I hope will be continued in future models of the boot. When playing in the Speedportals, I would experience a bit of stud pressure that wasn't unbearable but was noticeable. When it comes to feeling of the ball, I get a bit more of a closer/barefoot sensation with the Speedportals. I believe this is because the upper is thinner. That said, the upper is a bit more "plasticky" so I don't really feel as though I'm getting a smooth 1:1 sensation around my foot like I do with the vapors. Overall, the Speedportal is a great boot however I am very delighted to see that Nike has been able to make a speed boot that is both comfortable yet provides great structure. I have only been wearing the vapors in training sessions but am looking forward to wearing them in my match next week!
I really liked the speedportal.1 when I tried it on, however as adidas is horrible at making AG boots it’s the mercurials for me
I hate Adidas for that ugh
Would love to see you do this with New Balance as well! Big fan of their boots and I’m happy to them starting to get more popular
Superfly 9 elites are really comfortable, played in them today. I highly recommend them 👍🏼 Playing in ultra 1.4/superfly elites currently haven’t tried adidas since the f50’s
So you're a fan boy, got it.
The f50 were the bomb.
does the heel dig in to your feet? Def did w/ my experience but i just out the cardboard on it
Sad the Speedportal is not as good as the Speedflows. I knew with such a good boot, it was near imposible to improve it 😔 Speedflow was an actual Mercurial killer
So the speedflows are better than the mecurials?
@@marco7838 depends. Upper is way better, soleplate is more aggresive. But the mercs have that air cushioning that actually is effective at underfoot coushioning. In my opinion, the Speedflow is much better all around
@@marco7838 i still think the mercs are better
@@marco7838 I'll goes to mecurials because mecurials is so light
I have both and the speedflow’s fit in the heel was terrible. They felt amazing unless I went to put torque in a shot. Nothing locks my foot in place like a mercurial though, which sucks cus I like switching up boots from time to time.
Superflys are so damn good looking 😭
The last time Nike had a carbon sole they were priced at $400, adidas really engineered a really nice boot
Can you compare the mercs with the speedflows?
Wish Nike would do a wide version of these, tried these in the AG version and had foot cramps for the 5 mins I had them on, still probably the best football boot on the market, they just don't fit my feet,
Are you EE or EEE?
Can you do speed portal. 2 vs vapor 15 pros?
i want to see this
Vapor 15 pro wins, its basically Vapor 15 elite with less zoom air, meanwhile..portal.2 have heels lockdown problem..its too shallow ..and its heavier..plus..no carbon at the sole plate
that’s not even a fair comparison tbh
@@daddycumsack why do you say that?
@@Alexdvrk because .2 are just bad
Joe, are you going to review the Vapor 15 pro turf? I love the 14s and would be curious how the new ones stack up
The deeper lacing system and narrower shape are two reasons I prefer Mercurials over Adidas’s X.
any insight / theories as to why so many Nike sponsored players continue to wear the merc 14s, even months after the 15s have been released, while most adidas players seem to have switched over to the speedportals? Or alternatively, am I just imagining this hah
I noticed that to. Vinicius Jr, Modric, Fede Valverde from Real Madrid are still on the Vapor 14. There are others like Kimmich, Szoboszlai, and Haaland up until recently amongst others. It seems Nike is more lax on their endorsement contracts, and they just really like the Vapor 14 better then the Vapor 15. I still see Speedflows out there, mostly from lower profile players. Benzema is one example of a famous player still on the Speedflow, at least until recently I think.
On a personal note, I really liked the Vapor 14. My favorite boot of these past few years.
Man you hit it right on the spot with your comment about the fit. I just tried both on and the Adidas are so wide that make it such a bad fit. Happy with the Zoom Vapor, keep up the great work!!
Depends on the foot shape tbh, my foot is a bit on the wider side and if I want my toes to be on the edge, it will be kinda tight even on the “wider” speedportals
@@adonisdaou7772 I'm in the same boat. In fact I got a foot cramp just trying to fit into the speedportals at the shop today.
What do you think is a good alternative boot for wide feet but also a light touch.
@@zack.123. new balance tekela or puma future. Just bought both and my goodness am i glad I did. Most comfortable I have ever owned. Wish I jumped off the Merc train forever ago.
Are you planning to review the vapor 15 pro turf? It’d be nice to know how they compare with the vapor 14
i am sort of a beginer in football and I really need new cleats for a st,finisher,dribbler,skills and pace which one would u rekon
I'm only 14 btw
i had a pair of nike mercurials about 15 years ago and they were great even back then
hey james, what are some good budget AG boots available in the US? Or maybe FG (or “MG”) boots that you would recommend that could be used on AG?
On a website I’ve seen the Mercurial Vapor 15 elite drop to £150(black and dark blue colorway).I currently have the black and silver speedportal.1.The upper about my toes is starting to rip and over time when you break into the boots creases on the upper appear at the left side of your big toe which I didn’t like.Im stuck choosing between getting the mercurial Vapor 15 and the Crazyfast.1(supposed upgrade to the speedportal)
Would love to see more turf reviews
I play 4-6 times a week and u13s and have the Vapor 15 elite in that same colour and they are super super nice and comfy and have the same feel on the ball and only weigh 200 grams at size 11 100% recommend them and they don’t wear out at all
Hey lil gangsta . Have you ever thought about rapping for a living. You have the name already

@@chowiethehandsomehippo403 indeed
U lucky man
Imagine a mizuno football boot upper with Nikes zoom air for the sole plate
hey Josh, can I ask you for a suggestion, so I am a true size 9 US and I usually play in my vapor 11 , and yesterday I just bought the vapor 14 in the same size which we all know since the 12's it has been using fly knit material, the problem is the vapor 14 is too roomy in every areas of the cleats comparing to the vapor 11, so I returned it to the shop and change it to sz 8.5 it fits well but the part of the little toes area are a bit tight and kinda hurts. do u think I should just give it time with 8.5 ?because the sz 9 are completely off for me
the laceless speedportal is out of stock in my size, should i get the nike ones or the adidas with laces?
Just ordered the Superfly 9 pros, hopefully they do the job.
I got them. They are really comfy and look good on the pitch.
I have a question so I wear size 10 but my foot is 4inches wide can I still fit the Nike Superfly because I heard it fits wide feet but I haven’t been able to access them my self or would I have to go up half a size
Could u compare the pros to the .2s?
I think it's a more reasonable price for most and would be curious to see the difference without the zoom unit.
My son bought speed portal .2 and loves them.
Which one do you recommend between the speedportal .1 and the vapour 15 Prob(not elite)?
The portals are at $180.
The 15 Pros are at $240.
lock down bruv just go half a size down for the speedportals and your good
Which of the two shoes is suitable for wide feet
Vapor
I recently purchased a pair of Vapor 15 Elite and have encountered a problem. The collar is too wide and playing on synthetic is a problem since rubber pellets get in.
Have any of you experienced the same problem ?
use sock tape and tape the opening whenever you play
What are the best leather cleats out currently?
Is it me, or do the speed portal + studs look shorter and smaller compared to the mercs?
Are the zoom superfly (high tops) good for wide feet?,do I go half a size up or true to size?
True to size like every other Mercurial 👍
I preferred the New Balance Furon 6+ over both these shoes lol
Is the upper of the Speedportal .1 durable on ag?
when i watch your videos im always looking at the 2014 red superflys at the top right corner
I have the speedportal 4 FxG, but they really hurt my toes when I shoot the ball because they are very thin
Which one the most comfortable boot because I have a little bit wide feet and I don’t know which this 2 boot would I wear it can you guy recommend it Nike or Adidas speed portal?
I’ve tried both and for me the mercs are more comfortable, I also have bit wide feet and the way the mercs wraps my feet feels so much better
@@rendas7846 thank you 🙏❤️❤️
@@thepeaceofficial_99 mercs for wide foot. X are shit
For wider feet try Merucrial or Phantom GT. Phantom GT is wider than Merc i think
@@npc2k I got speed portal today it comfort and fit
Just ordered the phantoms gx dynamic elites im sooooo excited got the blacked out pair😆😁😃 of the mercurial ones in this video come in a Sg version? Because I don’t currently own any soft ground only firm. 😂
How can I stop the back padding where the heel goes, of the mercurial superfly from ripping? My boots are ripping where my heel goes and I have no more padding there. I don’t know if it has to do with my custom insole for my feet or if the back of the boot is just not good. Please help
never had that problem, it’s probably the insole if you’re experiencing something weird
Why doesn't anyone realise that these companies are trying to sell you 'speed boots' because they're cheap to make? They make more profit. They are dangerous. They offer no protection or support. The difference in weight to a more padded boot is imperceptible. Weighing the boot over a few ounces is ridiculous. You're being sold a lie. And you're lapping it up.
Do you think that the mercurials can prevent shin splints to some degree? Since they have a cushioning soleplate
I definitely think there is more underfoot impact protection than any other football boots. Whether or not it's enough to prevent shin splints, I'm not sure? I'm no expert on that particular injury, but I think that's an injury that can occur no matter what shoes you're wearing, including running shoes.
For Nike Mercurials I used to get uk10.5 which had a little bit more room but recently I been getting uk10s which are a bit more tighter, does that make any difference? Is it better to have a bit of room or fully tight in it
I strongly prefer less space in my boots. As little space as possible while still being comfortable is what I recommend for any boots.
it's YOUR foot wear what you feel is better.
@@SoccerreviewsforyouIm same with u , I had wear UK6.5 , 7 & 8 before. UK 8 is more comfortable, but for the performances 6.5 is best for me.
"now let's talk about protection"- Coach Mehran
What abt Vapor 14s vs Vapor 15s? Pros and elites?
Here's that video th-cam.com/video/wGI7TmFLzHU/w-d-xo.html
@@Soccerreviewsforyou thanks mate
Can you do Puma Future Z 1.4 vs Nike vapor 15 ..
I have the speed portal its not great for ankle lockdown I twisted it running and no im getting mercural
I would love to see a comparison of the mercurial Vapor 15 pros and the adidas speedportal.1s as I have just got the Vapor 15 pros and the review say that they are as good or even better than the elites
Please make a review vapor 15 vs F50 adizero remake battlepack vs f50 adizero leather
Hi Josh,
I have a question about sizing. I have relatively wide feet. I have been wearing the speedflow.1 in size 43 1/3 and they fit pretty well in width and length. Do you think that i will fit the vapor 15? And since nike only has size 43 and 44, wich one do you recommend?
43 1/3 is the same as 43 u should go to an store and try
If you have wide feet, don't even bother with the mercurial. I have pretty narrow feet and they are tight as hell
@@ibz925 I have really wide feet like absurdly, and the mercs were actually the nicest on my width
i have the speedportals. They're pretty nice.
Bruh all I want is a 10 year anniversary R9 Vapor for the World Cup 😩
I still like my speedflows
adidas boots just never cut it for me they need to make a new line or just re build the one they have now
They already have a great formula with their last 2 X boots(ghosted and speedflow) and could have further built on it but took a complete 180 with the speedportal
which one are better for wide feet
What boots to buy for children? Is academy or .3 enough good for them?
Yes academy or 3 are good. Just avoid club and .4 level boots generally
What about the AG version?
What is the rate of Nike. Shoes
Nice review!
I like the speedportal but I tried it on and i found it really narrow
How come the carbon fiber looks like a sticker
i have those superfly 9 but i have pain in my heels when playing with them. Does anybody now something that would help me with this?
0:35 the carbon sole plate is a stiker!
Could you please do Best Turf Shoes for 2022 ?
@josh we need Zoom Mercurial Vapor 15 Pro TF vs Speed Portal .1 TF
So your saying I have a 250 dollor Nike air vapor? I GOT IT FOR 50$ IN MY COUNTRY MONY THINGY
Thankyou for not saying Soccer. Respect bro 👍🏻
I need this video thanks
Does the Air Zoom Unit wear out?
It shouldn't.
What this your size ?
Tried the vapors and I could barely fit my foot. Went with adidas.
Imagine stamping on the speed portal +
The nikes are better but the addidas ones look better. Just like always nike make the better, more durable, cheaper models and addidas make the sexier ones that people want to buy
Fam I got the yellow ones for 60 pounds, 250 dollars is a piss take
You got the academ one
@@negusayoade615Ik it doesn’t change much
Why don’t adidas use boost in their boots it’s a better version of zoom
They tried that with the Ace and a few Pred models. Unfortunately you need a pretty thick layer of Boost to get the feel and energy return that you'd get from some of their running/training models. In the thickness of a think football boot insole, it ends up just feeling like regular foam.
For my fellow Indian footballers :
These cost roughly 27k-29k
What one is better for wide feet
speedportal
I need help from literally anyone. I'm a wide footed person and I've tried on a number of football boots and my control is never the same as when I'm using barefoot...I could maneuver my way out of tight spaces with sport shoes or bare foot but when I wear football boots my control is not the same so I tend to play a more conservative style so that I won't lose the ball as much. I want a boot that'll make my control exactly the same as when I'm using bare feet...anyone 😢
Get leather football shoes like the adidas world cups or copa mundial, nike premier 3, or any others
How in the world would you do a comparison between a lace less boot and a lace boot? Your reviews very are poorly, your reviews are only based on feeling and looks
You do a great job of saying what something means and what does and doesn't matter about it like the weight
Vapor 15 academy vs speedflow.3 ?
MV15 Academy for sure 👍
WDYM! Adidas soccer shoes are much better than Nike ones. Nike doesn't know how to make good soccer shoes (they do make great basketball ones though), Adidas is ALWAYS the better option. And by the way, playing barefoot is way better like absolute skilled players play barefoot, sadly we can't play barefoot in games.
Prices of boots is ridiculous. Give me some copas or world cups I'll still be the same player even if I had on these terrible boots. Do talk to me a bout touch, padding , laceless , feel for the ball blah blah blah. If you are good you can play in anything . If you think performance in boots effect your play..... my guess is your awful at football
Can you delivery in nepal
Lol I have the exact same yellow bike ones 😂😂
amazing review
But Rick and Morty support the SpeedPortals!!!!
Can you bring back what’s in my soccer bag was such a good series
these boots are over the years starting to become similar to condoms
Why the hell are they so expensive 💵💵💸💰
i will always be loyal to nike mercurials
Very Nicely sir
Day 1 of asking you to put in different country price's in your video's
Superfly 9 ultra is the best
Bro how tf yall feet fit in these ? My feet are too wide for this
Dude you should be a model
