I am going to buy the hypervenom phantom 3 elite do they cause blisters because they have a leather like heel liner and me having haglund's deformity am scared they will cause me blisters
Got a pair of the first ones, loved them especially for my wide foot, bought the second ones knowing it was the exact same, simply for collection, I’ve gone a bit crazy with the collection now 😂 love the videos man as always!! 🤩🤩
My son wore them on artificial grass for practice and games for a full season and they held up great. You wouldn't be able to tell they were worn on an ag surface. I will definitely buy another pair when needed
I wish they would just release these without calling them the Phantom GT II sort of how they did it with the Hypervenom II. I’m okay with slight refreshes, but I’d like there to be significant changes before they call it a new generation.
Hii James, I feel for you. I too agreed on a lot of your points on the improvement video. This feels so subdued and they kinda defeated the purpose of "Generative" texture. Although got to say, having the gt 1's finally on hand, enjoyed them a lot more than I was expecting.
I’ve got terrible issues with the heel, had mine since November and whenever I wear them my heels are usually bleeding by the end of the match/session. I’ve heard that bending the heel inward can soften it up and make the heel more comfortable but I was warned that it would take hours of bending to soften it up
@@ervinbitiqi6600 do u mean the og hv or the hv3? I had both, never had any blister issues using them, but didnt like both of them because they werent very durable and abit too heavy for me.. favorite boots from nike in the past 5 years are the vapor 12 and 13 hands down.. They really messed up the vapor 14 tbh
Hahah the start of this video! I did not expect The Mighty Ducks reference. I'd say it seems as if Nike sent out the GT2 to fail. They didn't really do anything to win over new fans and I'd be surprise if they kept the current ones. TF Socks spotting! Excellent video! You gave the boots a lot more time than I would have!
I think the fact that Puma and Adidas have launched big name new speed boots at the same time isn't going to help either! It seems a very un Nike thing to do and I hope it's not the start of a new approach from them.
@@BootWizard Yeah, competing speed boots from other brands will always take the attention awway. It wouldn't surprise me if the marketing budget for the GT2 got yanked in favour of the Legend.
It feels like Nike took all their product development funds and spent it on the Mercurial and Tiempo. I am just wondering what they are going with the Quadfit technology.
Been wearing the Phantom Venoms for 2 years and just ordered these, gonna be returning them w/o play test because they’re a lot stiffer than I expected
Great Review! I saw your videos of Sizing with Both GT and GT2 I have quite a wide foot, and currently wearing the predators 20+s on 9Us the Fit is perfect with around half a thumb in the toe Box in length, looking to get either a GT2 or the GT should I go 9Us on these or go down half?
Great review, looks as if nike weren't bothered, not sure but haven't they released the new tiempo and looks as if they've concentrated on that, minimal changes to the boot and it just looks as if it's another colourway of the the GT 1, this is poor by Nike, when they could have done better.
I absolutely agree with all your points and I'm not even sure concentration on the Tiempo has worked as adi and puma have both dropped big speed boot lines that seem to have stolen the spotlight.
Can never believe the big marketing machine. I was playing with my Predator Adipower on today and scored a beautiful one-timer with the rubber element gripping the ball just the right way. Please just bring back some of these older boots, we'll all be happy. To them, the one piece synthetic upper is the easiest, most graphically adaptable and cheapest way of making boots. That's the reason they are pushing it on us.
Honestly not all the older boots are as good as people remember, nostalgia plays a massive role in that and I don't think that's an approach that would suit everyone. Of course ease of production and costs are part of a companies plan, however if that was the sole reasoning Nike wouldn't have stopped making the mercurial line out of flyknit as that's probably one of the cheapest methods they have right now. There is still innovation and there is still an element of driving silos towards what customers want.
I recently bought puma future 5.1. I have pretty wide feet and bought these because they are very wide. Somehow the outside of my feet’s still hurt like when I use narrow boots. What should I do? Take out the laces maybe?
Great reviews James. Waiting for you to review the new Ultra and the Speedflow. I’m trying to decide which one to buy for my kid. If I go with the Speedflow it will be the.1
Ultra is coming next, hopefully by Wednesday next week and then the speedflow afterwards, unfortunately too many releases in a short space of time and it gets very expensive to buy them all at once
I really love the look and the phantom line but I don’t have a wide foot and I’m a size 10 so should I half size down to a 9.5 to make it a perfect fit?
Great video! Do you think the Phantom GT boot is the most similar to the original hypervenom? I haven’t bought a new boot in about 6 years and I was hoping to get something similar to the OG hypervenom since that’s my favorite boot of all time. Based on your other videos it sounds like the Furon V6+ might be a close match to the hypervenom. Thanks!
As I say, don't worry about how much space you have or don't have in length terms, if you can wear them comfortably with as little room as possible then thats the right size for you.
Hey BW would love you to do a Tiempo 9 video, I'm wearing the original phantom GT at the minute but looking to switch, a wizard approved link would be nice too 😉 cheers
Just bought a pair of the elite first GT’s. They feel great everywhere except for the heel, which is very tight. Anyone know if they stretch much? I’m guessing if it’s looser elsewhere my heel won’t rub as much.
Can you pls review the nike phantom gt academy dynamic fit tf because whenever I want to watch a review on them there only the type without the collar which is the one I don’t wanna buy if you do make a vid on them I would really appreciate it and even if it’s a ic version that would be alright 😁😁 and would you recommend nike phantom gt academy dynamic fit tf on wide feet, my feet are about 10cm wide
Can anyone compare the PHANTOM GT to the Magista? Magista was my ultimate boot. I have wide feet. I have Phantom VSN 1s but they’re less comfortable than Magista was. And I tried on a pair of Phantom GT once and they felt way narrower. Anyone else think they’re narrower than old silos? Or was it just me? Thanks!

I got them in low cut

Hahaha happens to us all, A small collection turns into a big collection very quickly.
My son wore them on artificial grass for practice and games for a full season and they held up great. You wouldn't be able to tell they were worn on an ag surface. I will definitely buy another pair when needed
Fantastic to hear, always great when you get that kind of value.
May I ask if you bought an fg or an ag variation?
@@safrianrival9257 fg.
I wish they would just release these without calling them the Phantom GT II sort of how they did it with the Hypervenom II. I’m okay with slight refreshes, but I’d like there to be significant changes before they call it a new generation.
Totally agree, no name change and an update and I don't think people would be as disappointed

I enjoy the GT1 A lot I think it's a very good boot and this one doesn't mess with that much, it's just a shame it was such a minor update.
My lad loves the OG Phantom GT AG that you recommended the link you gave we hot it at bargain price. Thanks for that man.
You're very welcome
@@BootWizard You're a dude!
I tried them at the Nike store yesterday. They did NOT fix the heel. They are still a deep blister machine!! Switched over to puma and I’m so happy!
Ah shit, I just bought a pair of the originals and that heel feels really tight. Don’t they stretch at all?
Honestly I had no issues with the heel but I do know a few people like yourself that had an issue with the heel. These are identical to the GT1

Have tried the hypervenom phantom elite low cut dose it cause blisters like the gt

@@BootWizard Yeah, competing speed boots from other brands will always take the attention awway. It wouldn't surprise me if the marketing budget for the GT2 got yanked in favour of the Legend.
Would you rather play AG/Turf Boots on natural grass or FG Boots on artificial grass? I cant decide which version of a football shoe to get
I will almost always go FG if the option is there and the ground isn't too hard. FG for natural grass, AG for AG, hardly ever TF on anything.
For me, TF is for Artificial grass.
Much releif on my knee.
@@bangbon3703 so you say if i want to take care of your body i should always play with right Boots and dont mix it?
@@Milan-cf1xe For me, Im a bit overweight.
So TF on AG Field isn't have "Stiffness" on Sole plate which i find it quite releif on my knee&ACL.
@@bangbon3703 what is tf?
It feels like Nike took all their product development funds and spent it on the Mercurial and Tiempo. I am just wondering what they are going with the Quadfit technology.
I am really hoping for a return of quadfit, it's a tech k really believe in
Been wearing the Phantom Venoms for 2 years and just ordered these, gonna be returning them w/o play test because they’re a lot stiffer than I expected
This may seem random but do you prefer the phantom gt 1 or vapor 13? I can’t decide what to wear for next season
There's a whole debate to be had here but the short answer is that objectively the vapor 13 is a better boot
Great Review!
I saw your videos of Sizing with Both GT and GT2
I have quite a wide foot, and currently wearing the predators 20+s on 9Us the Fit is perfect with around half a thumb in the toe Box in length, looking to get either a GT2 or the GT should I go 9Us on these or go down half?

Wow, Your video customize much better than last year.
Thank you

Hi James, thanks for the review. Do you have any plans to come up with your own measurement size charts for football boots?
I do have plans, it's just quite hard to do and I want it to be as accurate as possible. I will have something eventually.
@@BootWizard All the best James, I think this will be of great value to all of us.
Great review James! Disappointed to see such a minimal change for a sequel to the GT 1.
me too, I thought the GT had potential and I feel like the line is a bit dead now.
These look great. Do they crease at the mid foot like the GT1's?
They're basically the same as the OG GT so whatever creasing you got on those with your foot type it will be similar here.
When you make a video about a whishlist for the phantom gt2 but nothing makes it to the final product 😂💀
Hahahah, not a single thing 😂😂
Great reviews James. Waiting for you to review the new Ultra and the Speedflow. I’m trying to decide which one to buy for my kid. If I go with the Speedflow it will be the.1

Get mercurials Superfly or vapor, those will be good in your size.
Hey boot wizard I was wondering if u could give me info on the durability of the phantom vsn 2 elites as I was looking to buy them
So far no problems for me, nothing major. Soleplate is on the thinner side but I haven't had issues.
Do you think the puma future z 1.1 tf or the adidas x ghosted.1 tf is better
Depends what you're looking for I like the Puma
Great video! Do you think the Phantom GT boot is the most similar to the original hypervenom?

It has some similarities without being excessively similar
Good thing is now the og GT will cost less 😁
100%
I like the barca jersey on you because im barca fan 😄
Anyway good video again
Thank you
Are you going to do a fantasy league again?
Haven't decided yet. 🤔
Are the Nike vapor crew socks good grip socks ?
Lovely stuff. Shame fit hasn't been fixed
That would have been ideal, but, we are not so lucky it seems 😭
Can you make a video on how much room to leave in the front of your cleats. Thanks and enjoying the amazing reviews.
The short answer is that the boots should be as tight as possible without being uncomfortable
@@BootWizard is half a centimetre enough space in a laceless boot?
As I say, don't worry about how much space you have or don't have in length terms, if you can wear them comfortably with as little room as possible then thats the right size for you.
I use 10 mens and have wide feet should i go up half a size or go true to size on the gt2 pro?
Are going to review the future z 1.2
hi what boots do you think are better Nike phantom gt or vapor 14
I'd be tempted to go for the vapor.
Hey BW would love you to do a Tiempo 9 video, I'm wearing the original phantom GT at the minute but looking to switch, a wizard approved link would be nice too 😉 cheers
I don't actually review leather boots I'm afraid so no Tiempo review. I hope you get sorted out though.
Not sure if you mve done it yet but Man utd 21/22 kit review ?
I haven't done it yet but I do have it planned
Just bought a pair of the elite first GT’s. They feel great everywhere except for the heel, which is very tight. Anyone know if they stretch much? I’m guessing if it’s looser elsewhere my heel won’t rub as much.
Some people have had issues with the heel, it will get better but I wouldn't expect a huge change.
They won't stretch much but make sure you wear them around the house for a while first.
Bro if you compare the durability of mercurial 13 with 14 academy what pair is better?
There's unlikely to be much difference.
@@BootWizard but the materials on the 14 aren't better than 13 or are the same?
@@gixi430 they are totally different materials buy in the end the durability is still likely to be similar
Can you pls review the nike phantom gt academy dynamic fit tf because whenever I want to watch a review on them there only the type without the collar which is the one I don’t wanna buy if you do make a vid on them I would really appreciate it and even if it’s a ic version that would be alright 😁😁 and would you recommend nike phantom gt academy dynamic fit tf on wide feet, my feet are about 10cm wide
Honestly with the DF Vs non DF versions on most boots there is hardly any difference and most of the time no difference at all.
Can anyone compare the PHANTOM GT to the Magista? Magista was my ultimate boot. I have wide feet. I have Phantom VSN 1s but they’re less comfortable than Magista was. And I tried on a pair of Phantom GT once and they felt way narrower. Anyone else think they’re narrower than old silos? Or was it just me? Thanks!
They don't have as much stretch that's the main issue you're probably facing
i am wearing phantom venom 42.5 and it fits my feet, do I have to get 42 on phantom gt2 elite or stick true to size?
i never got the gt 1 so im planning to get the gt 2
Hope you like it
I just came from practise my foot collected blood and it hurts
Ouch
Why does he only have 8k subs
It's an excellent question!!! haha.
anyone else get deadly blisters?
A few people reported blisters for sure
Bring back the vsn!!!
always wanted a GT with quadfit!
Awesome
7.4 ounces for the gt 2
The man is back!
So lazy...Nike is losing it xD
Indeed a bit lazy.
Awesome
👍👍
