All of the Academy versions of the Nike Vapor, Superfly, and Phantom are low-key useful for people that have to play on both natural and synthetic grass surfaces, because their cleats are designed for both FG and MG surfaces -- the more expensive Pro and Elite versions of these boots are recommended for FG surfaces only.
@@marek_2578 You're confused. What makes it MG is that the Academy has six conical studs, which are better suited to turning and twisting on synthetic grass
@@baboojadoo2554 mercurials have been known to fit very tightly, I can even say it from my own experience, you can play with them but there are more comfortable shoes (leather) for wider feet
I would still opt for the 14 academy. I know it feels cheap, but it's more comfortable and doesn't require breaking in period. In the end, you'd want to focus on the game rather than focusing on your feet. I have the 14 academy for my rotation during training or match, I guess I'm more a rounded studs folk than the bladed studs folk
This is a slap in the face to Nike Zoom air fans. Every athlete knows we spend nearly ALL our time on our forefoot! WHY Nike WHY! You might as well not even have it.
I wore the academy 15 for a couple of games after coming from pro 13 and I regret not spending the extra money. Academy material is cheap and fits wider than the pros. The extra room makes me feel less in control. Yes I’m already wearing grip socks
Super disappointed that the zoom unit isnt in the forefoot , like the size was to be expected , but nike could've atleast put the zoom unit somewhere that wouldve atleast had a similar effect to the elite
Totally approve, I get the point that it is a takedown model but of they could’ve put in in the heel they could have done it underneith the toes or forefoot( not the 3/4 length as on the higher models)
When are you getting an AG Elite pair? I saw Jay Mikes review and curious how the Air Zoom Unit feels on AG which is already bouncy from the rubber filler
Hey Josh....which is the best boot from the following 3 Superfly 9 academy , Vapour 15 or Puma 3.4? Is there anything else in this price range that you would recommend?
I would really like if the higher end models would have the MG stud pattern as well, as most fields nowadays, are different quality types of artificial grass.
Have u seen or tried to get your hands on the new adidas speedportals replacing the speedflow, ik they arent released yet but im seeing them pop up more and more places around the internet?
They definitely felt quality when I tried them earlier today. Better than the equivalent priced Adidas and the other Nike models. But not as quality as my old Veloce 2s.
This character development from Nike is ridiculous. They used to punish -poor- non-wealthy athletes who bought into the Nike hype at any pricepoint other than the absolute peak highest most overpriced. The top tier shoes were usually good-great, certainly never perfect, but the lower end shoes always injured me. Nike was str8 up crushing the dreams of young athletes. I hated them as a company, the shoes were always so bad it would've been better that they didn't even make them. Your vid on the Mercurial 15 TF Academy convinced me to try and buy them. Solid. lightweight and comfortable shoes. Are they perfect? Nowhere close. Are they the best turf shoe on the market while also being cheap? Yes. Am I commenting on the wrong video? Perhaps.
It annoys me how the boots have a gap near the ankle while ur on ur heels, grass easily enters, superflys aren't an option even with the sock for me because of my wide feet.
Can anyone help me find a pair of Adidas X16+ Purechaos, I really gotta get another pair but I can’t find them anywhere in a US mens 9-9.5. can anyone point me in the right direction?
@@gabe8176 I’ve really been enjoying them. They’re nice & snug and fit perfectly for me. They’re a lot more comfortable if you have some extra insoles around (same size or your foot won’t fit). A lot of my teammates get the elites over the academy’s but I didn’t even try the elites so I wouldn’t be able to tell you the difference. Overall, they’re working for me just fine so far. I’ll keep you updated if anything changes. We play mostly on turf btw
@@Jaycuubb Thank you for the respond.I still not decided yet what to buy. I've been really thinking of buying the tiempo 9 academy because I play a lot of times being a cb.So idk,but I will decide in the next couple days.

I like how the stud pattern at the heel looks like a smiley face. ☺️
Now I can’t unsee that lol
Same can’t unsee it

Cuz academy has smaller studs (cheaper)

Hey are those models good fro wide feet? They seems wider to me
@@baboojadoo2554 mercurials have been known to fit very tightly, I can even say it from my own experience, you can play with them but there are more comfortable shoes (leather) for wider feet
Actually ag and fg
lowkey would appreciate the reviews on the academy cleats as someone who cannot drop 200+ on a pair of footy boots keep up the great content!!
Nice to see Nike upgrading their takedowns . That slightly raised back is kinda visually unappealing to me tho. Just looks weird
Isn’t it fucked up how they do it purposely to sell higher end models
@@fwtoro4 yup 😹 and tbh I’m not a big fan of the new mercs. Look too much like American football cleats to me now.
@@chill_chimp_ they offer a unique feel or something and I lowkey wanna buy them just to feel it
If I’m honest since the Vapor 12 I’ve preferred the academy version as it feels like what I’m used to in a Vapor with no collar
Great video! Is a video on the elite AG-plate on its way? Can't wait to hear your thoughts on them.
Video coming soon!
Was waiting on this video good timing jake. Still want to see the vapor pro!!

thats odd the grip socks fixed it for my feet. you must have very narrow feet or small feet overall

hey josh, which takedown model is better? adidas x speedportal.3 or nike mercurial 15 academy?
When are you getting an AG Elite pair? I saw Jay Mikes review and curious how the Air Zoom Unit feels on AG which is already bouncy from the rubber filler
Zoom on AG is really works, IMO
When u play on AG 🙌
U can also see my newest video 💪
Great review as usual!
Do you do roundup videos where you recommend say the top 5 budget/takedowns?
Looking forward to watching!
The studs almost like vapor 5😍

Do you prefer to buy nike mercurial 14/8 pro or nike zoom mercurial 15/9 academy?
Have u seen or tried to get your hands on the new adidas speedportals replacing the speedflow, ik they arent released yet but im seeing them pop up more and more places around the internet?
ANOTHER BANGER!!
hi josh i hope you can keep reviewing these academy vapors every year, i cannot afford to pay the +230 as a med student so this is super helpful!
They need to bring out the £140 version if this colourway because £250 is too expensive but £75 is too cheap
Love your content
Great video! Thank you
They definitely felt quality when I tried them earlier today. Better than the equivalent priced Adidas and the other Nike models.
But not as quality as my old Veloce 2s.
Got these at my local Nike Outlet for $24.99 so I can’t complain🤷🏽♂️
I think it would be cool if you expanded your content into other footwear categories, like what you wear casually or when training
Nike already have that Nike have air zoom shoes.
Or do u mean like downgrading the shoes while there still air zoom?
are these supposed to be tight on the sides?? i wanna be sure before i return them.
Should I get these or the Nike Phantom GT2 Pro’s?
Which one did u get?
Once I saw the smiley face on the soleplate it was all over for me haha
Can we see the superfly 9 academy review? I ordered those and I want to know what to expect.
Video coming soon!
bro do your own review stop being lazy
he is reviewing from his pov not yours
How am I supposed to do my own review if I don’t have the cleats
@@larryrmirz you didn't understand what he said don't you? He said "I ordered" means he don't have the cleats 😂
Amazing value for the boot
do they even have air unit, while the academy only have ¼ air unit?
Can you do a review on the pro version Josh?
Can u do a review of the Pro tier?

Can you please review the Pro takedown?
Which is better zoom mercurial vapour 15 academy or the phantom gt2 academy
Folow!
When comes the Review of the Pro Version?
Been waiting for this video since the elites got leaked
should i get these or the phantom gx academy?
Shout out the smiley face on the sole plate
Would you say that these are similar material(synthetic upper) to the high end mercurial vapor 10's and 11's before they made vapors out of flynit?
Could u also compare the Nike vapor 15 pro fg
Can you do a review for the pro version?
I just recently bought these but they are digging into my Achilles and hurts what do I do to fix that issue
When will they release the pro variants for these colour ways not the black one’s
Are you gonna do the mercurial pro?
I’m thinking about getting it but I don’t know if it’s good enough to wear
Video coming soon!
Is their coming a pro type of this Colorway?
It annoys me how the boots have a gap near the ankle while ur on ur heels, grass easily enters, superflys aren't an option even with the sock for me because of my wide feet.
Do they run small ?
Will Nike release the Pro version of new vapor and Superfly for AG pitch?
if ur upgrading to elites should i get the same size as my academy version??
Hello i have a question, for dribbling these or the phantom gx academy?
I haven’t tried the phantom gx academy but I think the vapor 15 because the phantom doesn’t have the grip
Are the studs safe to use on AG, if you play alot on it? Cause I find the ag version to slippery on the pitch when its raining
This is late but they sell an ag stud plate version for every model of the mercurial, I currently own the ag mercurial 15 academy
Is there any difference between last year model to this model?
Yes! They changed almost everything
Where’s the video on the new Speedportal
Is good for Artificial Grass?
What is the difference between nike zoom mercurial vapor 15 elite fg and nike zoom mercurial superfly 9 pro fg?
Materials used
X speedportal when?
Is the upper on these the same as the upper on the indoor version of these boots
is the heel lining the same type as the vapor 14 academy?
Bro are they good for wide feet please reply😄😄😊
is this boot good for wide feet?
Hey josh are they smaller than the elite
Sizing is the same 👍
What’s a similar boot to the nemeziz 19.1 they’re hard to get now?
Bro please reply what shoe should I buy adidas x crazy fast.2 FG or Nike zoom vapor 15 academy FG/mg tell me beo
Probably the Nike what did you get ??
@@Northsmen I got nike bro
Does anybody know what happened to the Proximo line from Nike for the Indoor models?
Is this still a good buy in 2024??
They’re solid boots, although the new Vapor 16 Academy is an improvement
These hurt my feet SO bad. What can I do? Please help
Update, it wasn’t the cleats 😂 I had bone bruise
@@Jaycuubbbro WHAT!
Do these boots remind you of the vapor 10 top models in any way? That’s what I immediately thought of when I saw them.
Not really.

hey, i kinda wanna understand the remark at 3:11. Can someone please explain?
The hypervenom 2’s didn’t have a very good upper
For anyone with these, do i go true to size? Also if anyone played with them on turf I would like to know how you liked their performance
They run pretty small..I’m size 10.5 at most (10 smallest) and had to get 11’s. Haven’t used them yet though I’ll keep you posted! 🤙🏼
@@Jaycuubb how is it been?I really thinking about that to buy these.

Can anyone tell me how do I lace them cuh I took them out for wash
Josh from sr4u pls do one for the club models for the mercs for both the Superfly and vapor
Clubs are garbage, don’t bother…spend the extra money
Should I size up if I get these??
No they fit perfectly
It depends where you get them from
