I’ve always been a fan of the F50, which is my favorite adidas football boots. I mostly wear Nike; but these pro in particular haven’t worked for me in terms of fit. Had lots of space around the ankles. In my experience I’d go with the Vapor 16. Either elite or pro. Got my elite pair from the blackout pack and they really did a good job
something i found missing here is that the f50 while technically also being the FG version can be used better/safer on AG. buy those vapors only if you never use them on AG/turf
Hi Josh, how do you compare the 16 Pro Flyknit upper to the older Mercurial Elites like the Superfly 4. Are they similar or the Elites are still better? Also looking forward to your review for the 16 Pro TF as a lot of us only play in turf boots.
I went to try the pros and they feel very soft. Very tight like last year's mercurial but to me the upper feels like a leather in terms of slippery and the upper feels great. Definitely doesn't feel like grip knit in fact it's very slippery but still a great shoe. Studs feel cheaper too
@@riichobamin7612 fair enough. Honestly I like the FG/MG stud pattern on the academy boots better than AG-pro pattern on the Pro and Elite models. Mercurial Academy boots are far away the best value boots on the market IMO.
I had the Phantom Luna 2 pros (just a GX 2 with a higher sock) and they were solid but after about 6-7 months of use (granted they were getting beat every day) the outsole started coming off and ripping which I guess is to be expected but they were still a solid boot
Hey Josh, I’ve seen a vid where Puma is gonna release the Puma Ultra with Nitro tech, similar to Adidas’s Lightstrike Pro, will you be reviewing that soon?
I bought the Pro version with MG sole, I was disappointed by the weight of the shoe which is 260 g (size 44 EU), Maybe it's the sole's fault? I also add that I got huge blisters behind my ankle... maybe the FG version is different? How can I solve the blister problem?
I really like all your reviews but is there an issue with your scale ? Your previous review for the f50 pro thats you did before weighted at 205 grams, now it shows 209 grams.
I'd have to go back and check, but I would bet I weighed other foot in the pair. Manufacturing tolerances are far from perfect, so weight variance of a few grams from shoe to shoe, even within the same pair isn't uncommon. 4 grams is almost nothing in the grand scheme of an entire football boot.
The pro is the model under the elite which is the highest model. The pros will be more expensive but use better materials than the leagues by far. The construction is also different.
If you want a padded, more leather-like upper, the Messi version would be a good choice. If not, these are more along the lines of what most people would expect from a pair of speed boots
Bruh i was thinking abt when he was gonna make this video
Yah

Why wouldn’t you recommend the vapors if on AG/turf?
@@emilyaadams14because the FG version IS tô dangerous to use on ag or turf, that's why there is an TF and AG vapor 16
@@danilocosta845why is it dangerous?
You can get bad injuries like acl@@noahhhhhhbbb
Studs break, you can get stuck and get injured, you can slip because they are so long etc..@@noahhhhhhbbb
Thank you man! Love your reviews, i am following you for years from the beginning! Very helpful!! Cheers take care!🫶🏽💯

Petition for Premier 3 vs Copa Gloro II
Can you do a video for the Academy versions too please ?
Yea would be nice
He already did
@@mikebitcoin2024 no I meant a versus video

Could we get a puma ultra 5 pro and NB furon v4+ destroy review???
can u do the same with academy for superfly/vapor and league for f50
you should review the predator freestyles, they look really good but im not sure about the quality on the pitch
Could you do the vapor pros vs the gx2 pros?
I had the Phantom Luna 2 pros (just a GX 2 with a higher sock) and they were solid but after about 6-7 months of use (granted they were getting beat every day) the outsole started coming off and ripping which I guess is to be expected but they were still a solid boot
They also Updated the IC models. I already bought them abd they feel great. Would be curious about your thoughts about that as well
How do you tie your cleats
I play mostly on AG, would you rather recommend the AG version of the mercs over the normal f50 in this situation
Yes, absolutely
@@Soccerreviewsforyou thanks!
Great video Josh
Can you do a video or short on the new predator mania I want to know what you’re opinion on them are
random question but do you like the vapor 13 or the vapor 16 better?
Hey Josh, is the upper on the vapor 16 pro turf the same as on fg version? And do you plan on reviewing the pro turf model?
Hey Josh, I’ve seen a vid where Puma is gonna release the Puma Ultra with Nitro tech, similar to Adidas’s Lightstrike Pro, will you be reviewing that soon?
if you love and miss the superfly 4s then the vapor 16 pros are a must get
Hi josh can you make a video on the adidas predator league with the fold over tongue
by any chance could you also do this for the third tier?
I have a serious question. Which boot is better Crazyfast + or vapor 16
The Crazyfast+ would be a great choice if you were after something as lightweight and thin as possible.
I bought the Pro version with MG sole, I was disappointed by the weight of the shoe which is 260 g (size 44 EU), Maybe it's the sole's fault? I also add that I got huge blisters behind my ankle... maybe the FG version is different? How can I solve the blister problem?
I haven’t tried them myself, but I would assume the soleplate is where the extra weight comes from

Are both basically the same in ag?
Gun to your head what would you pick for AG?
The Nike Tiempo legend 10 elite
Nike phantom gx2 elite
Predator elite AG
What would you pick?
What do you think is better Nike mercurial vapor 16 pro or Messi f50 pro?
I actually compared the two recently in this video ruclips.net/video/s2_HpSmc0Fw/видео.html
You gotta review the ultra 5 pros!
Which one should i pick vapor 16 academy or vapor 15 academy
Both are bad i would go to pros
As somone who uses it its not that bad js VERY harsh on my toes @TTruman
Please compare the academy boots too please
Vapor 16 Elite are too good, it’s crazy how good they are!
Once upon a time I might have said Mercurial, but this time it's F50 for me between these two.
Guys Mecurial vapor elite 15 or 16 which is easier to put on and a bit wider?
16 is wider
Either of these chumps vs the takedown Alphas?¿?
Older i get, less i can tolerate budget boots. Tend to hurt way too much, esp at heel.
Please review Maxed“ football boots
whats better F50 PRO or F50 League?
The pro is the model under the elite which is the highest model. The pros will be more expensive but use better materials than the leagues by far. The construction is also different.
adidas F50 Messi Pro or one of these boots?
If you want a padded, more leather-like upper, the Messi version would be a good choice. If not, these are more along the lines of what most people would expect from a pair of speed boots
@@Soccerreviewsforyou wow thanks for the fast reply. my last boots were the kaiser 5 so i think i will go for the f50 messi pro :D
Shouldn’t the puma ultra be included???
💀🙏🏽
Depends, does it suck?
@@phu5005yes, yes it does
Vapor 16 pro vs 14 pro?
Sorry 15 is the winner
Make someone ambidextrous wear both
Wow never have I been this early ✌🏻🤣
I have wide feet but the murcs are better
air zoom 16 or adidas f50 messi
Both amazing boots, but so different when it comes to fit and feel. It would really depend on what you're looking for in regards to feel.
Sweet
Im tired of merc design..f50 is the way
Those f50 ugly
Ye a
