I already got the black colorway and the comfort when putting those on did blow the Tiempo out of the way. The compression band on the Tiempo killed my feet in those break-in sessions. I would say it is comparable to the Morelia II MiJ since I'm using both of them at the moment. Definitely a great price for a quality pair of boots.
That's great feedback mate! I think a lot of people are surprised at how narrow the Legend 3s are right out of the box before you break them in. They're a great pair of football boots for sure, but I think these really do outclass them in most ways.
No worries mate! I can do my best to get more in! For the most part, these, the Nike Premier 3s, the Tiempo Legend 9 takedowns, and the Puma Ultra takedowns are the best at that ~$150 price point 🤝
Just bought a pair of the all white with the silver New balance logo and they’re phenomenal man , thanks so much for the review , going to buy a pair of either red or black ones to wear cross matching cleats when I play , much love from Texas ! 🤠🇲🇽
I have been using the puma ultra 1.3 and looking to upgrade and with these being so lightweight and having soft leather. But I would like to ask if they are responsive enough or provide enough lockdown
Hey, please make a video comparing the Nike Flight ball, the Adidas Finale ball, the Adidas al Rihla ball, the Puma Orbita ball, and the Derbystar Brilliant APS ball for next season! Thank you!
These look amazing!! I think this and the all red versions are the best colour way. Definitely going to try and pick these up as soon they’re available here in Canada. I know you tried the other NBs in the wide fit, do you think you’d benefit from trying the wide fit variation of the 442s or is this regular fit version wide enough? Also, do you think a head to head with the Mizunos is warranted or naw.
For real mate! Such an awesome colorway 🔥1) I have the regular fit and they're really comfy, so I don't think it's necessary for me to get the wide fit in the 442 (different story with the Furon). 2) After several hours of testing, maybe! I think these would be more on par with their 2nd tier boots as the MIJ versions are pretty difficult to beat in the durability and quality category. These do come close though I must admit... wild they're 1/2 the price of the MIJ models...
I just ordered the Tiempo 9’s! I’ve worn the Magista Obra 2 for like 5 years now and I’m hoping I don’t regret not choosing the Phantom Gt but I trust your praise! I’m excited to try them out for my weekend league
my usual size ran too small in the toe box with these, half size up leaves too much dead space in the mid foot 😭 sad because the boots are amazing quality but I’ll have to stick to nike as sizing suits me much better
Good question! For my feet, it's an EASY win to the New balances. That being said, I know a lot of people who love the Future 1.3s. It just depends on your foot shape!🤝
Noah! I just got this pair in white and I agree it reminds me of Mizuno as well. K leather isn’t as thin and durability is most like not going to be as good but this brings that experience with way less cost!
Hey Noah, I'm from Germany and just found your channel and I have to say I love it! I have a question for you: I have very wide feed and tend to have between a size 10 and 10.5 US but these shoes are not available in a size 10 here in Germany, do you think a size 10 would fit me? Thank you in advance for your answer and have a nice day!
This soleplate is basically an AG soleplate - just basic conical studs! I wear them almost exclusively on AG pitches (just what I have available), and they perform really well. No hot spots under my feet and there's really good balance to the plate.
Yes they are better than the academy. The academy is calfskin leather so if you look around and find them for around 60 dollars, it is good value for money.
In my opinion, no. But some people I'm sure will like the shape of the Legend 9 academy better! It just depends on your foot type. For me though, the speed boot weight and unreal quality of leather makes these the easy choice🔥
That's a great question mate! I haven't tried the Mizuno Neo 3 Pros so I can't say. What I do know is these are much more suited to wide footed players like me who can't fit in any of the Neo 3 line 🤝
got them on Tuesday, and played a full 90 min game today with them. I have to say the leather doesn't feel as premium as the copa mundial, but the weight, these are extremely lightweight. Zero blisters, hot spots, or discomfort at all. Interestingly, New Balance doesn't claim they have K-leather, and JayMike from Unisport also mentions the grain size in the leather leads him to believe it's calf leather. All things considered, much cheaper than the mizunos or tiempo elite.
@@NoahCavanaugh is there a boot that's Is a mix of the speedflow and mercs? I wear both and love both? Or is there a material that is between leather and the mercs or speedflow? Striking a ball in leather is so premium and will always go in but when I strike a ball with the nikes or speedflow the ball sometimes goes off direction
@@esportsmiyagi Not really mate - I'd say if you wanted something in between you could always try the Puma Ultra 1.4 or the Mizuno Morelia Neo 3 Beta which is leather and synthetic all in one boot. Best speed boot on the market as far as quality goes for sure.
Hey! In terms of sizing, do you recommend going for size 40 1/2 or 41 1/2 EU if I normally wear size 41? (I dont like too much space in the toebox) but afraid 40 1/2 is gonna be to small
Thanks for another thorough, informative review. You describe the toe-box as relatively wide with very soft leather - do you think us narrow footed folks can go down 1/2 size without crushing our feet? I like a very snug fit…
That's a great question mate - I think you're better off in something like a Mizuno Morelia Neo 3 Beta. These fit really well in length, so I don't think going down 1/2 size would do you any good!
@@NoahCavanaugh I wear the Rebula cup MIJ true to size and they fit perfect - how do these compare to those in terms of fit? I was looking for a more reasonably priced pair of back up boots. I really appreciate the help!
I have wide feet. Should I get EU 42.5 or 43 since my feet are 26.2cm? I do struggle to get the right fit boots in these past years. Can u suggest any ideas?
@@NoahCavanaugh I do want to but there's no new balance sold in my local so I have to order from abroad like UK or US. But I do think that EU 43 from New Balance should fit me well.😉
My old boots decided to give up last week, so I've been on the hunt for a new pair. Only the limited edition has that much leather. The other colour ways have considerably more synthetic patches. Now, I can get the premiers in the UK for half the price of the 442 V2. It's a tough one.
Depends on what you want mate - there are pros and cons to both! I prefer the 442 because of the shape and how light they are, but I wear my premiers every once in a while still and they're great.👍🏼
@@rask3545 pretty sure, only the limited edition has mid boot leather the black and white have synthetic midfoot leather. It's not officially mentioned anywhere, but the reviewers noticed it. Watch the gold ok be review from this fella he sort of says it too
thank you for your great review, are we going to see the review after one month ? at the moment I'm in doubt between copa sense .2 vs this boot, I ordered both of them, I know they are both good for different play style, but I would like to hear your recommendation. and I have a fairly wide feet also :), tnx anyway for your great reviews and contents
They do great! I did an entire set of sprints in them with proper turning at full pace and I didn't have any issues. I actually really noticed the ability to pivot with the conical studs.🔥
Man I wanted those gold ones! Remind me of my Morelia ULs that I love but I’m afraid to wear and get scuffed up 😂 Not surprised they compete well with the Tiempos, I don’t find the leather quality on those to be all that premium even though they’re k-leather.
For sure! They're a really nice looking pair of boots... especially in person! I would have to agree with you - I think they're durable and really comfy, but they definitely don't feel as premium as previous generations did!
I feel like you have been more into leather boots, perhaps because they feel MUCH more comfortable instead of the fly knit or synthetic used today but im looking forward to the full test soon 🔥
It depends on the boot for sure, some leather boots really don't fit me even if I think they're a good option for some people! I'd say the quality of knit boots has definitely gone down though since the HV3, Magista, and Vapor 13s went away!
@@NoahCavanaugh such a shame to see the “popular boots” not fit me or people with flat and wide feet because we wanna wear what our favorite players wear but once you try some of them on, you really just wanna take them off and that’s why I’ve been a fan of leather boots, I’d also love a long term review maybe after 6 month or a year of your tiempos because i listen to your opinion on what boots fit you 😅😂
I'm sorry, but I cant get past the exaggerated excitement about the box and the white paper inside. Get to the product, who cares about the box. Seriously!

Could of easily broken them in more they are leather so stretch a bit.
Hey Noah random question: which boot do you think is better or more comfortable? These new balances or the puma z 1.3?
Good question! For my feet, it's an EASY win to the New balances. That being said, I know a lot of people who love the Future 1.3s. It just depends on your foot shape!🤝
