Such a good review. I love how you said that the AG would be like 80% effective on natural ground pitches, yet 95-100% on AG fields. Whereas you would never want to risk the FG version on any AG pitch. So for a lot of people it makes more sense or go for the AG version. Well said man!! 👏🏽👏🏽
Will go down as one of the best Mercurial generations of all time, hands down. Gripknit is one of the best feeling uppers right now, molds to your feet perfectly, and the thinner Gripknit in these compared to the GX2s is a gamechanger.
Had the same issue. Tried the black superfly, blue vapors, and both were rubbing my toes. I bought a black vapor after sending the other two back, and no problem with the toe area. All of these were in the same size. I tried sizing up but the fit was rubbish, too loose.
Any tips for cleaning the grip knit? I wore mine for one game and can’t get the mud stains out. I didn’t clean them for a few hours, so perhaps that’s where I went wrong? Other than the cleaning issue, love them!
Love the content Noah. Have been watching over a year now. Ive still have not pulled trigger on new boots yet 😅. If it’s possible, may I request a review on the New Balance 442 PRO Turf v2? Ive not been able to find a way to get mizuno’s turfs into the states so I’ve narrowed down my options due to color and reviews
How do keep clean the white Nike gripknit? It’s hard to clean it with a soft toothbrush and soap. The dirt is hard to remove and after 4 or 5 scrubs I just get less than a decent clean. Your thoughts.
Hey Noah are you good at doing rainblow flicks? if so could you please include if the boots are rainbow flick-able? i bought the phantom gx 1 based on your recommendation and i found that they are hard to do rainblow flicks in due to the gripknit not running until the heel and the heel being rlly slippery some boots like the speedflow.1 are super hard to rainbow in as well because of the external heel counter i find that i can consitently rainbow in indoor boots and ive only seen people rainbow in some pairs such as the morelia neo 3,4 (jfootball)(ik it has a heel counter) and mercurials i love your reviews and i think things like rainbow flick-ability or if its nice to trivela (or other unique skills that players do) will be a great addition to your reviews thank you!
Hey Noah! How would you compare the Vapor 16 ag vs phantom gx1 (also the width)? I love the gx1’s so much. But I kinda wanna get the vapors16 ag black 👀 idk if it’s just me but the soleplate just kinda reminds me of the soleplate Nike pros use lol 🤷♂️😅
Hey man have they addressed the durability issues of the previous models ag plate? Was pretty upset to have my pair of ag Vapor 15s soleplate crack very quickly
Nike is so strange… i got the new mbappe version in fg and the light blue boots in sg in the same size. Don‘t know why but they made the volume of the toe box much lower on the sg model and they don‘t fit me! Is the volume of the toe box between fg and sg the same? You have the blueprint and the blue boots in ag so you could campare them please🙏🏼🙏🏼
I would go fix your shin splints mate, no boot is going to "fix" them. Most likely you'll need to start doing some exercises and other preventative work to sort those out first. Consult a PT or doctor!
can you do a vapor vs phantom gx , i’m having a hard time deciding which ones as i have worn both but vapors tend to hurt the outside of my foot at times
Thanks for your answer mate. I am playing on mizuno’s on fg pitches mostly and think they are very comfy, no stud pressure or whatsoever. I always used to play on mercurials but i did not like the stud pressure especially on dry fg pitches or ag pitches. Will buy and try the ag mercurials and see how they feel 🙌🏼
Had both the black and blue ones side by side. Ended up sending both back as the upper was rubbing pretty aggressively against my big toe, and sizing up the fit was too loose. I decided to give the black ones another chance as I got them heavily discounted and the fit was perfect, wore it straight into a match. Very tiny space at the front but no toe rubbing. Very inconsistent in terms of sizing, I tried 3 different pairs so that was annoying. The material is slightly different between the black and blue. Black feels more premium whilst blue felt slightly plasticky. Also on the colourway, if they went with the Phantom or Tiempo blue I would've gone for that as it looks awesome. This Icy blue just didn't do it for me, especially on the soleplate which doesn't look right. They should've chromed it like they did on the Blueprints. The air zoom is cool, but I do prefer the more grounded feel you get from a Puma MG outsole or a turf shoe. Also do feel it needs more structure, but I guess that's the trade off. These are the only Nike boots I fit into going true to size. Didn't fit in the Mercurial 15's nor the phantoms/Tiempos.
@@KnowledgeableServant best advice I can give after trying so many shoes and still not finding the perfect one is buy the one that fits you best. Out of these two I prefer the Ultra 5 as it's more comfortable for me. Air zoom is interesting, but doesn't do much for me. Grip control pro is as sticky as gripknit.
Thank you! I didn't feel toooo much of a difference, no... that being said these are also the superflys so generally will fit 1/2 % tighter because of the collar. I'll definitely do some side by side comparisons for the play test or one month review to come up with a definitive answer for you
The high collar helps keep the pieces of rubber out of the boot when playing on AG
For sure!
if you have wide feet, don't hesitate to get them. They will be fine, big recommendation.
Do they crush your toes?
@@marcifn2333 just go into the bathtub with hot water. I had less pain with these than with the phantom gx, idk why to be honest
@@marcifn2333 no they feel like socks
@@slaytrixx8983 thank you brother!
Agreed! Really comfortable all around

For sure mate! 🤝 Gotta put it in perspective
One of my favorites this year. Superfly 10 over the 16s imo!
Love it! 😍
Air-Zoom is The Fkn Bee’s Knees. An absolute must feature for every Nike Elite Boot. 💯🙏
Fair enough mate!
Will go down as one of the best Mercurial generations of all time, hands down. Gripknit is one of the best feeling uppers right now, molds to your feet perfectly, and the thinner Gripknit in these compared to the GX2s is a gamechanger.
I agree mate, unless they come up with something even better which would be hard to believe 😂
I bought these cleats. It s the perfection! Thank you Noah for the video
Love that mate! Glad you enjoyed them for much
Idk why but the ankle stretch more I have a superfly and they way more comfortable than the vapors, vapors don’t seem to mold to feet well
Fair enough mate! I'm glad to hear the superflys work for you!
Great review and insight, do you plan to do a 2024 tier list/ranking? I think it would be very awesome.
Yes, absolutely 🔥
Nice video man ! Which one would you choose between the tiempo 10 legend elite, the supperfly 10 elite and the phantom gx elite ?
GX all day mate
was waiting on this video for ages thank god picked them up but still haven't got a chance to wear them
Enjoy!
Great Review! But is it just me, I found the new superfly fits too tight in the toe area for me for my normal size, and too big if I go half size up!
Same for me👍 but half a size up is way better
Fair enough bro! I appreciate your feedback! 🫡
Had the same issue. Tried the black superfly, blue vapors, and both were rubbing my toes. I bought a black vapor after sending the other two back, and no problem with the toe area. All of these were in the same size. I tried sizing up but the fit was rubbish, too loose.
Nice review as always Noah 👍
Do you have any inside info on whether Nike will make the new Vapor’s available to customise via Nike By You? Cheers
Thanks mate! I would hope so - I'd love to get a pair in!
Hey Noah! Thanks for another awesome review! I want to ask, how different does this AG soleplate feel compared to the GX2 AG ? Thanks!
Quite different! And lucky for you I have a review on the GX2 AG so you can compare and contrast
Would you rather wear the gx2 or superfly..I have excessively wide feet I’m not too sure if either one would work well with my foot type
GX2 mate, fits my foot the best 🤝
Any tips for cleaning the grip knit? I wore mine for one game and can’t get the mud stains out. I didn’t clean them for a few hours, so perhaps that’s where I went wrong? Other than the cleaning issue, love them!
Water and a sponge 🧽

I don't mate, the white boots will always get dirty - just means you're wearing your boots properly!
Been wondering about upgrading from the Skechers SKX_01 boots to these, is it worthwhile doing so?
Only if they fit you!
Colorway goes hard!
💯
Hows the width compared to the New Balance Tekela V4+ wide edition?
That’s what I currently wear now.
Tekela is definitely wider mate
Hey Noah are you good at doing rainblow flicks?
if so could you please include if the boots are rainbow flick-able?
i bought the phantom gx 1 based on your recommendation and i found that they are hard to do rainblow flicks in due to the gripknit not running until the heel and the heel being rlly slippery
some boots like the speedflow.1 are super hard to rainbow in as well because of the external heel counter
i find that i can consitently rainbow in indoor boots and ive only seen people rainbow in some pairs such as the morelia neo 3,4 (jfootball)(ik it has a heel counter) and mercurials
i love your reviews and i think things like rainbow flick-ability or if its nice to trivela (or other unique skills that players do) will be a great addition to your reviews
thank you!
A boot doesn't make you better or worse at special skills mate, I'd just buy what is most comfortable for your feet 🦶
@@NoahCavanaugh well said
I'm interested to know if you would rate these higher than the Magista Obras or Hypervenom Phantoms...
mmm Mayyyyybe the obras, but the HV3 is still the 🐐
Hey Noah! How would you compare the Vapor 16 ag vs phantom gx1 (also the width)? I love the gx1’s so much. But I kinda wanna get the vapors16 ag black 👀 idk if it’s just me but the soleplate just kinda reminds me of the soleplate Nike pros use lol 🤷♂️😅
The Vapor has a bit more width in the toebox and about equal width in the midfoot.
@@NoahCavanaugh oh damn! appreciate it homie 🤙
what about the pro TF version? would you recommend it?
I haven't tried it mate, so can't say!
Hey man have they addressed the durability issues of the previous models ag plate? Was pretty upset to have my pair of ag Vapor 15s soleplate crack very quickly
I hope so mate! 🤝
Anyone found an effective way to clean them? I can’t remove mud stains from them at all.
water and a sponge dude 🧽
Nike is so strange… i got the new mbappe version in fg and the light blue boots in sg in the same size. Don‘t know why but they made the volume of the toe box much lower on the sg model and they don‘t fit me!
Is the volume of the toe box between fg and sg the same? You have the blueprint and the blue boots in ag so you could campare them please🙏🏼🙏🏼
Weird! I haven't experienced any difference mate
Does the air zoom unit gives you good enough of cushion? because I’m a long time Shin splint suffer hoping these boots might help me with this issue
I would go fix your shin splints mate, no boot is going to "fix" them. Most likely you'll need to start doing some exercises and other preventative work to sort those out first. Consult a PT or doctor!
is the mercurials gripknit better for passing or phantom gx 2 gripknit is better for passing?
Either mate, they're the same material
can you do a vapor vs phantom gx , i’m having a hard time deciding which ones as i have worn both but vapors tend to hurt the outside of my foot at times
I'll do my best mate!
how does this airzoom feel on these compared to the previous mercurials. i felt the previous mercurials felt so high up like high heels
Better, more balanced, and more enjoyable to wear
Did you feel the midfoot of the ag is wider than the fg model?
Not really no
are these in the same size as your custom phantom luna 2's?
Yes!
are you doing a play test for this ag version?
Yep! At some point for sure
@@NoahCavanaugh I'm also waiting for it!
That AG soleplate looks like the mizuno FG soleplate. Do you think they feel about the same?
It does! And yeah, other than the obvious difference in the Air Zoom, the stud pattern feels really similar - one of my favorites!
Thanks for your answer mate. I am playing on mizuno’s on fg pitches mostly and think they are very comfy, no stud pressure or whatsoever. I always used to play on mercurials but i did not like the stud pressure especially on dry fg pitches or ag pitches. Will buy and try the ag mercurials and see how they feel 🙌🏼
What do you think of the tiempo 10 pro vs the vapor 16 pro?
I haven't tried the pro model mate, so can't really say
Hope they are better than the superflachem and vapor 15 ags, cause they broke after two weeks
They are for SURE
I found two boots for a great deal is adidas x 17.1 or adidas speed flow.1
Get the speedflow.1
OOO speedflow for sure
Do you think you could wear the AGs in FG
Watch the video!!!!!!!!
Do you think i can use fg on ag or is to agressive?
Watch my video!
You should do a vapor pro AG
Maybe!
are we gonna see f50 ll one month review
yep!
Oh ffs this is literally my next review 🤣😭
We will be there to 💙
YESSS!!!! 🔥 Excited to hear your thoughts
subbed!
This boot is a 🥶/10

I appreciate your input mate, very valuable!
Im considering buying these in AG do you think the gripknit and airzoom is worth the money or not at all and should I go for puma ultra 5 ultimate mg?

copped the black superfly for 197
Love that
Great stuff man! Was wondering if you felt the overall fit was slightly different versus the Blueprint colourway?

Hi Noah,
