Tore my ACL my freshmen year of college. Used a pair of FGs on a natural grass field, in a cold 45’F day. Ever since, I’ve worn exclusively AG boots no matter the field type. My ankles hurt less after playing, my knees are healthier than ever and I actually feel lighter on my feet when I wear these on AG fields. Buy AG Boots
@@GetOwned-pl5nb ag boots have less traction on ag fields than fg boots on ag fields. That's the point of ag boots, because fg boots have too much grip on artificial grass.
Haven't had a Vapor since I had the Vapor X in AG, immediately bought these when they came out, definitely one of the best pair of boots I've ever worn

I bought these, my only complain is that the insole seems to move in the boots. Feels like it’s shifting left and right when I do quick cuts. Other than that it feels good (after breaking it in). Best for narrow feet but also a bit forgiving
The best part about Nike not making AG boots available anywhere in America is that they also now prevent Unisport from shipping outside of Europe. It seems deliberate at this point.
I do not understand why Nike don’t sell the AG stud pattern in the US. Virtually every pitch is synthetic here. Meanwhile the UK and Europe have plenty of grass pitches and they get the AG sole pattern…
I got the post world cup white/blue pair and within 10 sessions, I started getting visible cracks on the side of the cleat below the ball of foot. The AG pitches I've played on are just not as soft and a bit older. So if the AG you play on is grass like and FG could work, then these AG pro are top notch. I'll be trying out the Vapor 14 AG specific model to see how it holds up next.
got the same problem mate i boughts vapor 15 ag and the just hold for 1 and a half month the literally cracked the sole. i just bought the ag vapor 14 and gave the vapor 15 back. can you say are the vapor 14 much better ? did they still hold on you and are trustworthy ?
Any word on Nike addressing the frames breaking on the majority of these? I thought the reviews were an extreme case until mine cracked on both feet in all the same locations after wearing just a few times.
if they break, you can send them back in to Nike and get a voucher for the retail price of the cleats. I think you have 2 years from the manufacture date on the inside of the cleat to send it in.
I have had this boot for over 2 months now, does anyone have issues with the outsole? Mine have already teared or cutted in the base of the third conichal stud inner side.
My only worry with the speed portals is the shape of the studs on the AG variant. They've kept a more bladed shape, not as agressive as the Pred Edge design, but I question why they would deviate from the design they had standardized on a few years ago. The carbitex insert is amazing to see added, but I don't understand the stud shape change they made.
@@Leftycpe the actual Adidas HG soleplate (only available in Japan) and previous AG soleplate were conical studs low tech 0 work from Adidas. The actual Adidas AG soleplate has the same new tech than the FG one, with more studs and shorter than the FG ones. Really a great improvment
I got these a few days ago, and although they feel amazing on feet the soleplate is thinner than the last generation, probably why they feel so light. no doubt these will have durability issues
Definitely buy ag boots for artificial grass. I am a goalkeeper and always injure my ankle when diving in fg boots on sg pitches. They lock the ground too much and refuse to let go when I dive suddenly.
It seems like the only way to get them in North America is to buy them from sneaker resell sites. I found a pair on Kicks Crew but they're very expensive.
Josh you recommend the vapor 15 elite AG for both ag and fg. My question is what about the extra weight that the shoe will add when the fg is a bit wet and there is a little mud? The ag sole is rounded and hollow and will carry more mud than the fg sole.
I live in the Pacific Northwest and ordered from Unisport. Shipped and arrived in 8 days from Denmark.
