I currently wear a US Men size 9, for the adidas predator accuracy.2's. When I went to the store to try these on the size 9 was too loose ( in the heel) but the size 8.5 was too tight (in the toe box). I ended up ordering the size 8.5 which is a bit tight and a bit uncomfortable. I was wondering if it will loosen up a bit if I daily them almost everyday for school and club practice? And if not should I return them and get the size 9, even though it's loose and doesn't feel as secure? I also forgot to mention I tried the FG model at the store but ended up ordering the AG model, if that changes anything.
Hey Noah, was wondering if you experienced pain in the toe box when breaking them in. Like pain in between toes and blisters in top of your toes. Just got these and have experienced a lot of pain in my toes. With the GX1 I felt nothing
@NoahCavanaugh did you feel that the outside of the toe box was really cramped and narrow? Because the boot feels great everywhere else but the outside of the toebox.
Hi Noah, I had the chance to try the GX 2 Elite FG and they fit me very well, very roomy, but the Luna 2 Elite AG were very tight and shorter. Could it be because of the type of sole or because they have a different shape because they are Luna?
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 👌🏽
I had Phantom gx I in 43 and it keeps giving me blister on the toes after few matches so I finally gave up on them, for the phantom II I took size 44 I feel it’s a lil bit long and wide for me that I have to tight up the laces so much that the lace area is squeezed. but after the first match I still had blister on my toe, at this point I just don’t know what’s the right size for me
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’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
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.
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
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?
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)
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
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 🤝
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👍
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
@@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.
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!
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.
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?
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💙
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
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?
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?
does not your white and gold gx 2 get dirty for playing in ag i ask this because i bought white gx 2 and i played in mud so this knit got so dirty and it does not come out so i think to buy new ones for only ag
sorry, I just love watching your reviews. it’s totally unrelated. but I shaved my head because of you and I dig it ahahaha. I bought the mij Morelia 4’s. tried the tiempos prior to my purchase but they weren’t as comfy as the older tiempos when ronaldinho wore the gold and white ones. these boots look dope. might consider on my next purchase.

Hi Noah, I had the chance to try the GX 2 Elite FG and they fit me very well, very roomy, but the Luna 2 Elite AG were very tight and shorter. Could it be because of the type of sole or because they have a different shape because they are Luna?
They're the exact same boot, one just has a collar on it mate - I would guess maybe different sizes? DIfferent pair of socks you were wearing?
@NoahCavanaugh It was exactly the same number, the socks could be, but I felt a very big difference

Is going down half a size with the AG sole plate to acheive a better fit a good idea with these? Normal size feels slightly too big.
Sure thing!

Yep, but you'll probably find they're not great for narrow feet mate, I'd stick with the Vapor 16!

Deciding between the gx 2 ag or adidas predator elite, play both ag and fg. Recommendation?
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
Just bought these but in the rising gem colourway!
Love that mate!
What’s better for wide feet gx2 or tiempo 9 or 10
GX2 by a landslide
How do these compare grip wise to the gx 1 is it more noticeable?
Less noticable mate, I've talked about it in this video and my play test! Gotta watch those 😎
@@NoahCavanaugh ok thanks I will
Have you done the sg player version?
I haven't, no
So Noah, which boot(s)now in market can get 9/10 or above point from you ?
Thanks
Not many!
@@NoahCavanaugh what are they ? Are you gonna take any videos about it ?
Would you say they would fit for a narrow foot or just avoid?
I'd go for the new Vapor instead! Basically same construction but more narrow 😎
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?
Nope! They fit the same
Does the gx2 upper rip more easily than the predator elite asking cuz I'm a defender?
Both should be pretty durable bro
@@NoahCavanaugh so which one would u choose as a defender ?
hey which one is better phantom gx 1 or gx 2 with cyclone 360?
GX2
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?
These feel more aggressive to me!
For you NOAH, phantom gx2 or asics ds-light fly 5???
Both are excellent 🔥
Do you think f50 or phantom gx 2 which one is better
They're both great boots mate! Depends what fits you better 😎
hey noah, do you think the stud pattern on the crazyfast is ok for ag? not too aggressive or long?
I found it totally fine yeah! 👍
Super interested in what you have to say about the new Puma Ultra Carbons, crazy expensive but the full carbon sole plate is wild looking.
Coming soon!
Mate is this good for wide mid foot 🦶
Did you watch the part about shape and fit? sounds like you didn't 👀
I had to watch this back to compare with vapor 16s because we share the same size and foot shape😅
Fair enough! 🤝
do you prefer gt2 cleats or the gx2?
GX2 no question
Is it just me or has dirt gotten stuck in between the upper and the sole plate
Definitely 👍 just part of playing football
I wish the ag colorways were more accessible
Agreed mate! Especially with so many people playing on AG all the time
Closest cleat to the puma future z 1.2 FG?
Probably the Luna?
By how much do they stretch after tons of use?
A little! Not too much
How do you keep the boots clean?
water and a sponge
Noah Im Size 8 with wide feet, will it be good for me?
yes
What is the work of strike skin grip element in adidas Predator
🤔?
How do I clean this gripknit
water and a sponge 🧽
Do ypu prefer the first phantom gx or the gx 2?
GX2 upper and GX1 soleplate
@@NoahCavanaugh sounds like they just have to mix the 2 now
How long does the gripknit last?
A WHILE 👍
Is it better than the phantom gx1?
I prefer it, yes!
much more better! I had problems with getting the GX1 on, but these feel incredible out of the box :)
what would you rate 1 to 10 for ag soleplate???
Probably 7.5/10
Is the base plate flug-free phantom gx2
flug?
Gx2 or vapour15 for wingers?!
Your position has absolutely NOTHING to do with the boots you wear. What matters is what FITS your foot the best
I cant afford elite you reckon pro is almost as good should i buy a pro
I haven't tried them yet mate, not too sure!
does not your white and gold gx 2 get dirty for playing in ag i ask this because i bought white gx 2 and i played in mud so this knit got so dirty and it does not come out so i think to buy new ones for only ag
Of course they get dirty! That’s the whole point of football boots mate 😎
Is the Mizuno morelia neo 4 beta for very wide feet in the toe box
Not particularly
sorry, I just love watching your reviews. it’s totally unrelated. but I shaved my head because of you and I dig it ahahaha. I bought the mij Morelia 4’s. tried the tiempos prior to my purchase but they weren’t as comfy as the older tiempos when ronaldinho wore the gold and white ones. these boots look dope. might consider on my next purchase.
Love that 😎 Enjoy!
Ah been wondering where this one was, as always enjoy your videos.
Glad you enjoyed it!
