I have the white ones of these and theyve been holding up really well on indoor turf! Fit real snug and i have a weird heel that makes it difficult for me to find good boots that dont blister for weeks. Lockdown and soleplate dont mix well if your laces arent nice and tight. If you’re too aggressive on a cut on turf youll feel it in your joints if you’re not careful. Definitely buy the AGs soleplate for obvious reasons. Other than that these boots are 👌🏽
What’s up! Love your videos! I’m a winger and have been debating between the Vapor 16 Elites and a pair of GX 2s. I’ve had a great experience with the Vapor 14 Elites and the Vapor 15 Elites but don’t want to spend a ton of money and regret my choice. Which would you go for?
Thanks so much for making this video, I just ordered these and came in today and they feel really good. At first, I was going to get the vapor 15s but after watching your video I’ve changed my mind because I also have wide foot where it’s big in the mid foot area. I wear my superfly 9 elite that I’ve had for a year and they absolutely cramp my feet😂. My vapor 15 academy feels perfect but are extremely beat. I don’t know if they are different in terms of width. Anyways thanks for making this video👍
I’ve been wearing superfly 9s for the past season and when I changed to phantom luna 2 elites fg oh boy the stud made such a difference (in a good way) the studs feel more aggressively pushing also in a good way.
@@Kai88988 Hm, I reckon I prefer the phantoms over the superflys. I’m not an expert and I’m not a reliable source of info since I had academy superflys and elite phantoms. I prefer the phantoms cus of the grip knit and just the softness and I feel more barefoot thanks to the mildly thin knit. But still your choice
im currently wearing the vapor 15s but looking to swap to the gx 2s, i really like the comfortability of the vapor how does it perform compared to vapors
Had both the tongue version and laceless version pred elite, bought the gx2 last week after Noah’s recommendation and they are so much more comfortable straight out the box! Constructed and engineered to a higher standard too in my opinion. Adidas look rough around the edges Nikes look beautifully finished
Depends what fits you the best mate! They're both great options, although if you fit in both and you only have FG options, go for the Predator, that soleplate is much better as a hybrid AG/FG than the FG model of the GX2
How do these compare in sizing to the predator’s? I tried the predators on and fit perfectly in a 9.5 (first time trying adidas cleats on). Should I get the same size or a half size smaller or bigger?
why would you get ag while playing on fg? Just don't these fg studs are very well made and lower the chances of getting injuries if u mostly play on fg get fg. You can still play on ag with the fg studs just be more careful
I think I'm probably going to be buying these because they're on sale right now, how bad is this fg soleplate on AG? I've played in Puma Future before too but the upper unfortunately separated from soleplate pretty quickly (not sure if this is the stud issue)
Did these stretch much for you as you broke them in? Just bought a pair and it’s pretty tight in the toe box (I’ve got a similar foot shape to you) but generally feels good out of the box otherwise
Hey Noah , amazing video , thanks ! Do you recommend leather cleats like MIZUNO MORELIA or ADLER or non leather boots like the NIKE GX2 ? I have a 11 year old son playing as a forwarder and winger and planning to buy a elite AG cleat for him.
No worries mate! I recommend whichever boots FIT your son the best 🤝 At the end of the day, his position doesn't matter at all - it's about his foot shape and the boots that best fit him. If possible, I'd have him try on as many boots as he can in store to figure out what suits him best.
I'd have a look through some of my previous GX2 videos mate, LOTS of explanation on that. I'd watch the play test first: ruclips.net/video/J9JlkToewq4/видео.html
Does the FG and AG fit differently? I’m flat footed and tried the FG in and felt my foot spread out a little more than expected. Hoping the AG has a wider plate?
Hey man looking to get these boots would they work on soft ground 3G and firm ground? I know what you said that it’s a bit lacklustre but would it still work? Thanks
if 9/10 is perfect, what is 10/10? 🤔 Also just picked up a pair of these in the atmosphere grey last week. Loving it for games, but prefer my morelia 2's for comfort/drills. Agree that it feels a little aggressive on AG. Overall very happy with the pickup!
I wish the two studs right in the middle of the boot was shorter. I wasn’t able to grab the ag version, but those two studs I feel a lot on the two turf fields I played on.
I am a skinny guy with skinny feet, I always liked the tight fit. The GX 2 is pretty much an upgrade from the original GX on everything apart from the lockdown if I understand correctly.. is that very noticable??? cause if the sifference is a lot I just stick with my original GX but if the GX2 is still somewhat tight I will try Please can someone help
It's not super noticeable, no! 🤝 Keep in mind the GX2 is not a skinny fitting pair of boots though. Just be aware! I would go for the Vapor 16 elite instead - same materials but narrower
Hi Noah! nice review. I have a question about adidas boots. I would like to know the width difference between the new pred and the 99 speedportal leather(midfoot). Thank you💙
yo noah! love the review btw. for context i commented on a video of yours about if you had any experience with the pro version of the mizuno morelia, because i was gonna by them. but i just wanted to say that i have been loving them, and im just dreaming about how the MIJ version would be like😍😅! the only problem i have had with the mizunos is that when i train very much, only using those shoes and not switching between different boots, my achilles gets very sore and it is painful cuz of the high heel that is a bit too stiff. but yeah, i have decided to rock with the phantom luna 2s now and i am very excited to use them this season! i only play on ag pitches, but i have buyed the fg version, but luckily i have different boots to switvh between, so i am thinking of the lunas to be my match boots primarily. why is the soleplate bad for ag, is it because the risk of injuries or? let me know Noah, and i love your work man! keep it up❤
That's so great to hear you've been enjoying them mate! In my opinion the Cyclone360 plate is just a bit too aggressive for AG, risk of injury, bad pressure points during play, etc 🤝
Nike actually made cleats for wide footed players ? The only pair of nikes Ive ever worn that fit were my OG Phantom 1s. Just bought a pair of mizuno morelia 2 betas frkm australia on ebay hoping those replace them 1s in comfort
Hi, I play in Germany and was wondering if you have any recommendation for turf grounds. We play on turf 2/3 times and I already own AG/FG boots but those get slippy on turf.
Flaws?? Please elaborate. It sounds like a reasonable comment, but can you really call things you may not "like" ... "Flaws" I'm not saying they're perfect boots. I AM saying people like to talk about phantom "issues". No pun intended
@@trolltracker I respect that people do indeed like to talk about the Phantom GX and Luna 2 in a negative manner, I myself made a whole video on that being an issue. However, I think my experience of reviewing boots gives me some authority to make observations about boots, and make the claim that I consider some of these observations regarding the GX and Luna 2 to be flaws. Of course, you may very much not be aware that I do review boots so that's fair enough. You'll also note I didn't say these were bad at all, I actually think they're a great boot (as stated above) and an improvement over the previous generation, but no boot is perfect. For some specific flaws as you asked, I believe the soleplate is too soft in the midfoot, that applies to both FG and AG models. Now you may call that a preference, but as the boot is built on a very wide last using a vet soft upper the narrowness of particularly the FG model combined with the flexible soleplate makes the boot feel unbalanced and disconnected, some stiffness and better width in the soleplate would have eliminated this issue, or flaw in my opinion if you will. So to answer your question directly, yes, I think I can call some of my issues flaws.
Thanks for the respectful, reasoned reply. I enjoy your videos and certainly value your takes. I will admit I'm sensitive to all of the *internet* negativity around recent Nike releases; in particular tiempo legend 10 (due to lack of kangaroo skin, of all things), and phantom Luna iterations (due to Nike wanting to offer a soleplate which is safer, and marketed to female footballers ~GASP~). It seems to me that many, many people who never even try these high-end boots have made up their apparent hive-mind. I find the GX, gx2 elites and Tiempo elites to be world-class despite the reviews online & youtube comments sections.
@@trolltracker I don't want to be promoting my own stuff on Noah's channel, but, I think you'd appreciate my GX2 video on this topic. It's called the odd problem with football boots right now, I put it up in February.
Hi Noah, how would you compare this soleplate on AG to something with a fully chevron studs like vapor 14 which I used to wear on FG and AG and they were fine on both surfaces?
sorry, I just love watching your reviews. it’s totally unrelated. but I shaved my head because of you and I dig it ahahaha.

@@NoahCavanaugh changed the insoles to a thicker one if fixed it but that made my heels get blisters, won’t be getting any GXs any time soon anymore lol. Don’t fit my feet.
Hi, Anyone here have the soul plate hairline crack around the side rim? Discolouration from white to yellow(white boots) My sons 12 week old boots have been cooked unfortunately. Don’t think 1 month is enough to obtain if these boots can handle Australian fg pitches. Warranty replaced thankfully.
these with a tiempo soleplate would rock my world
That would be NUTS! 🥜
Get the AG version and if you want a stiffer soleplate get some custom/orthopedic insert

GX2 no question
hi nice video! Do you think,that those have more toebox room or width at all than the phantom gt2 ?

A little! Not too much
Is the base plate flug-free phantom gx2
flug?
Yoooo just a question I got. When you do a long pass or a power shot does it hurt your foot since the upper is so thin and soft?
Nope!

@@NoahCavanaugh so which one would u choose as a defender ?

Theses make my insole bleed on both feet and I tried 2 sizes, 1 month in and still causes it. There’s a fold that cuts me
Damn! That's no good bro, maybe not the best boot for you? 😅
@@NoahCavanaugh changed the insoles to a thicker one if fixed it but that made my heels get blisters, won’t be getting any GXs any time soon anymore lol. Don’t fit my feet.
Hi,
Anyone here have the soul plate hairline crack around the side rim? Discolouration from white to yellow(white boots)
My sons 12 week old boots have been cooked unfortunately. Don’t think 1 month is enough to obtain if these boots can handle Australian fg pitches. Warranty replaced thankfully.
🤔
Happy to show pictures if you’re interested in the longevity issues of the boots.
“Way back with Hypervenom 3” 😢
Then there’s me with my superfly 6 elite…
haha those are a great boot too!
are gx’s your favourite boots?
One of my favorites!
nice
would love to figure out!
Does it get dirty quick
definitely if you play on muddy ground!
