My Play Test Review of the Vapor 12 and Superfly 6 is live ruclips.net/video/QoZApmjo_DU/видео.html Check it out to see the boots in action and to hear what they're all about!
I feel like the Superfly is now a much better option for AG surfaces. I was really curious if they implemented the anatomical soleplate onto the new generation, and this was helpful, thanks Josh!
As someone who plays on exclusively on artificial grass and has the obra, tiempo VII, and hypervenom, I've never tried the mercurial line because of the thin structure of the shoe. thanks for the review, i'm definitely going to have to try these!
Yes please listen to him, I don’t recommend using FG superfly’s on AG surface because your studs will got caught on the AG surface and will make you twist your ankle. You might not believe me but it’s very true, I had recently sprained my ankle with FG boots on AG boots and it was because of the exact reason. And now I’m out for 2 months, so no high school soccer for me unfortunately. (You will most likely get a high ankle sprain and you don’t want that)
Josh great video and good to see you reviewing AG boots. Could you please do a comparison video comparing the Nike AG soleplate against the Adidas AG soleplate. An actual play test etc would be amazing. Maybe throw in some other AG plates too as AG is not talked about enough considering how popular the surface is.
Josh, have you tried the Mercurial AG soleplate on natural grass, Neymar style? I want to try the Mercs but I have a history of knee injuries and those aggressive chevron studs scare me!
I liked the AG-R stud patterns a bit better than the AG-Pro ones. The AG pro ones do the job for sure, but the AG-R ones were a bit more comfortable for me. I do see how AG-pro is more advantageous with being usable on grass as well. I just got a pair of Evopower Vigor 1s in the AG version from Europe and their stud pattern is okay, but they aren't as good as the AG Pro ones from Nike.
Would there be any disadvantages, in terms of durability/performance, by using this boot on natural grass frequently in addition to playing on an AG field?
Can you go into detail about what Nike said about how all sizes of their mercurials used to be based on a size 9 but now they’re not? Curious about how that might affect the fit for people like myself with a bigger shoe size.
They simply tweak the shape more specific to the size. That has always been the case, but apparently the amount of change there is from size to size is more significant than it was before. As I said in the video, they still fit tight like any other Mercurials, but they're definitely a little wider than what we had from the previous generation.
So nervous just brought these boots except in the academy black out colour way and hoping the sole plate won’t peel like most of the FG pairs. Josh do you think the sole plate will peel on the AG-Pros or do you think they should hold up well. I will be playing on AG and FG by the way but mostly on AG
i have a little problem i bought few months ago my mercurial superfly 7. i play a lot on AG pitches 5 times a week but my FG boots are broken to past. i know its better to take AG boots but does AG boots also broken realy fast ?
hey Josh! I got some Predator 18.2's that I bought because of your awesome review in the only variation, FG. And I've had, as you said, some problems on my knees because I play on AG, and also because of the genetics of my family. Do you know what I could do in this situation? Nice video btw, as usual!
Those are technically FG/AG, along most of the other lines from Adidas. If you're having knee problems that you thin are being caused by your cleats, it might not be a bad idea to start wearing turf shoes. The traction won't be as aggressive, but it will be easier on your joints.
Gonzalo Blanco Get a Pair of Shoes that has a AG-only Soleplate, works better. I have the Ace 16.1 FG/AG and the Tiempo Legend 6 AG, and the shorter AG studs feel nicer. Or a Turf variation.
Do the vapor 12 Elite and Superfly 6 Elite fit as wide as the hypervenom 3’s? Hypervenoms are perfect width for me, but always wanted a mercurial, but they never could fit and need an Ag since I play 95% on field turf! Who knew it would be so difficult to find AG cleats... Great vid!
Hey Josh! If someone wanted to invest money into buying an AG stud-patterned pair of boots from Nike, which one would you recommend the most? Mainy from the last gen Mercurials, the hypervenoms and Magistas. And what do you think about the AG specific - not the FG/AG - boots from Adidas? They have a lot of studs.
It would all depend on what type of fit and feel that you're looking for. Regardless of whether you need FG, AG or SG boots, that is what needs to be the main deciding factor.
I asked this right before you explained in the video that those boots share the same stud-pattern and construction in the AG variants, so yes, it's kind of irrelevant in that matter now.. :)
Hey Josh, do you think the superfly will be discontinued? The reason I ask is because this time around the superFLY doesn't have any FLYwire... Now it's just a mercurial vapor DF basically
Soccer Reviews For You I mean in the future, if this perhaps is the last MV Superfly. What are your thoughts? I love your content, btw... and those intros, just hilarious! 😂😂
I don't think any single one is the best. For that money, you can buy any turf shoe out there, so it would really depend on what type of fit and feel that you're looking for.
Can you play with these on real grass in terms of durability? Will anything happen to them while playing on real natural grass as they are not designed for it?
Hey Josh, quick q. Ive been thinking of buying a pair of AG boots but I've been finding 2 different types: AG-R and AG-PRO. Do you know what is the difference between these 2? Thanks a lot in advance.
Using on fg is interesting. I had the ag pro in the superfly v last year and the studs would easily get filled with mud if you were to use them fg. Does that effect the boot? I never used mine fg but just walking in grass would get mud.
Do u think that stitching line in between the 2 sole plates will rip/be durable enough for the abrasive AG surfaces? Also most do u think they internationally left out the "sandpaper" like material at the front of the boots usually to cover the stitching between the upper and sole plate?
+Soccer Reviews For You is the durability worse than other boots because the soleplate is underneath the upper and the grass will come into direct contact with the upper and not a plastic soleplate?
AG studs are still a relatively new thing, and most of these guys wear FG stud patterns all season long, so changing for a game here or there, they just don't do it. They also don't have to be worried about their cleats not lasting very long since they can get a new pair whenever they want.
I have a pair of superfly4s AG-R that still fit me perfectly in a size 9Us. Went ahead and ordered a pair of superfly5s AG-Pro in a size 9 us as well as I thought they fit the same. They fit me way to small. I also ordered a pair in a 9.5 and they will fit me too small. I still have the superfly4s in the size 9us and they still fit me perfectly. If the sizing is supposed to be the same how come the 5s fit me so small?
If I’m playing on both ag and fg pitches (4 times per week on ag and once on fg) should I get the fg pair or the ag pair? Also, will the ag be effective on the fg pitches since I can’t get 2 superflys?
Are you going to test the different colours? Are there any difference? If I buy these 400$ cleats will it make me play better than those poor kids in Brazil that play with bare feet

I will admit. That intro was actually cool

1:41 , man that's genius 🤓
Dam that intro was cool....................................AF
I just bought these shoes based on your review. It’s a lot of money to spend, so I appreciate how in depth you went.
That was the best intro ive seen lol😂😂 Keep up the good work👌👌
I love josh he’s actually quite funny
Josh should be in the x games
Josh I think this is officially my favorite intro that you have done keep it up bro! 👍
I've been waiting for this one! Money review as usual Josh!

seconded
And here i am looking forward to another intros compilation video
That intro 😄
The most baddass intro of all time had me SHOOK
Love the intro keep it up josh

I love the opening and the "w" comment.
Im really digging these. Might have to cop a pair. Also, this was a very well thought out review. A+
I was the first person to like the video and it was amazing
oliver shiff lol u weren't the first. LOL
Josh, have you tried the Mercurial AG soleplate on natural grass, Neymar style? I want to try the Mercs but I have a history of knee injuries and those aggressive chevron studs scare me!
Yup. It works fine. I talk about that in more detail in this video ruclips.net/video/fe5J6rBb5uw/видео.html

Great video josh 👌👑
Would there be any disadvantages, in terms of durability/performance, by using this boot on natural grass frequently in addition to playing on an AG field?
Copped these! Should arrive next week
Finally a good intro
What if he did the 720 with the string bag
Nice and funny intro Josh it's funny cause I didn't expect it
joshperfect trickshots
Where would you play football?1. Big ground of sand2. Small ground of very short artificial grass
Whichever surface is the smoothest.
AWESOME SAUCE!!!!! That spin move, in the beginning, was legit! Do AG boots have better traction than the FG boots on the ball?
I'd say it's about the same.

Perfect match
Diego Vazquez im pretty sure everyone was thinking the same thing

Superfly360 technology? Superfly 7 will have the SueprflyONE technology.
So nervous just brought these boots except in the academy black out colour way and hoping the sole plate won’t peel like most of the FG pairs. Josh do you think the sole plate will peel on the AG-Pros or do you think they should hold up well. I will be playing on AG and FG by the way but mostly on AG
String bag facts are all I need
Had a few knee issues so staying away from blades, so this might be a perfect solution to this allow me to wear mercurials :)
I think this colorway makes it look a little better
Great video, can you please talk more about the tech specs on that string bag though??
i have a little problem i bought few months ago my mercurial superfly 7. i play a lot on AG pitches 5 times a week but my FG boots are broken to past. i know its better to take AG boots but does AG boots also broken realy fast ?
If i used the AG variation on FG would that ruin the shoes quicker?
No.

Hey Josh. I was wondering since the puma future 18.1 says it's ag/fg. so does that mean I can wear that on both ag & fg?
also what do u prefer ~ puma future or these?
Yup.
thanks but reply to this
Is that a serious question 😂
Scott W ya kinda because sometimes they lie
So for you which is better to use on firm ground the ag pro or the fg ?? I mean that neymar does makes sense?
Josh, can you do a top 5 string bag video, please.
best intro yet
Do the vapor 12 Elite and Superfly 6 Elite fit as wide as the hypervenom 3’s?
Hypervenoms are perfect width for me, but always wanted a mercurial, but they never could fit and need an Ag since I play 95% on field turf! Who knew it would be so difficult to find AG cleats... Great vid!
No. They fit tighter than the Hypervenoms.

This is a Superfly.
Soccer Reviews For You I mean in the future, if this perhaps is the last MV Superfly. What are your thoughts?
I love your content, btw... and those intros, just hilarious! 😂😂
That fucking intro got to me😂😂
Sick intro!!
This is the Superfly 720... degrees Fahrenheit! *airhorns and whatnot play*
josh may I ask that can you wear the mg moulds on ag/fg without worrying about durability, safety and etc
What do you think is the best turf shoes on the market under 200 dollars
I don't think any single one is the best. For that money, you can buy any turf shoe out there, so it would really depend on what type of fit and feel that you're looking for.
if i wear ace 16.3 at a 10.5 and i have a little free space throughout the cleat then what size should i get for these 360s
Would this type of stud pattern be ideal for Sunday league fields that are hard and sandy with just patches of grass
Yes and no. If the ground is legitimately that hard, I wouldn't think that you'd even need anything with studs at all.
“This is dude perfect and this is soccer cleat trick shots with josh aka sr4u”
Can you play with these on real grass in terms of durability? Will anything happen to them while playing on real natural grass as they are not designed for it?
no
You are saying this is the best Superfly ever, is the new Vapor XII the best Vapor ever as well?
I think you could make that argument.
Josh, do you happen to know if Nike will be releasing an X TF variation any time soon?
Yes.
Hey Josh, quick q. Ive been thinking of buying a pair of AG boots but I've been finding 2 different types: AG-R and AG-PRO. Do you know what is the difference between these 2? Thanks a lot in advance.
Both made for the same playing surface. AG-Pro is just the newer option from Nike.
Thanks!
More Ag boots pls!!!
Using on fg is interesting. I had the ag pro in the superfly v last year and the studs would easily get filled with mud if you were to use them fg. Does that effect the boot? I never used mine fg but just walking in grass would get mud.
Normal FG studs wouldn't have a hollowed core, so if the middle gets filled with dirt, it doesn't change anything in regards to traction.
Do u think that stitching line in between the 2 sole plates will rip/be durable enough for the abrasive AG surfaces? Also most do u think they internationally left out the "sandpaper" like material at the front of the boots usually to cover the stitching between the upper and sole plate?
They should hold up fine.
the soleplate of the nike ag -pro is only for 4th generation artificial ground or also works for 1st 2nd or 3rd generation ag?
This video should help you out ruclips.net/video/5Z9l35yg7Io/видео.html
WOW!
Nice vid just bought em
+Soccer Reviews For You is the durability worse than other boots because the soleplate is underneath the upper and the grass will come into direct contact with the upper and not a plastic soleplate?
No.
Hey Josh why do pros still opt for regular FG cleats when playing on AG fields (i.e. MLS or in some stadiums in Europe)?
AG studs are still a relatively new thing, and most of these guys wear FG stud patterns all season long, so changing for a game here or there, they just don't do it. They also don't have to be worried about their cleats not lasting very long since they can get a new pair whenever they want.
Thanks!
Does the Superfly 6 pro ag have the raised lip and same stud pattern
Can you do a comparison video on the Flyknit Ultra and Vapor 12?
I will be doing that, yes.
Would you buy the same size in the AG as you would buy in the FG?
Yes.
Thanks for the answer.
Should I buy nemeziz 17.1 pyrostorm pack at 80$ . Getting a deal out of it or not ??
They're solid boots.
Can Nike create an fr/ag top model boot so annoying they don’t
What are the best sole plates to wear if I play on artificial grass everyday? Because I don’t like that all my boots are splitting on the sole plate.
AG.
Soccer Reviews For You thankyou for the reply! Amazing video!
I’m mostly play artificial grass but can’t get my hands on ag. Is it ok to wear fg on artificial grass
I wouldn't recommend it.
Hey Josh wondering when the play test is coming out
This week!
I have a pair of superfly4s AG-R that still fit me perfectly in a size 9Us. Went ahead and ordered a pair of superfly5s AG-Pro in a size 9 us as well as I thought they fit the same. They fit me way to small. I also ordered a pair in a 9.5 and they will fit me too small. I still have the superfly4s in the size 9us and they still fit me perfectly. If the sizing is supposed to be the same how come the 5s fit me so small?
The sizing is the same for the Superfly 4 and 5, the 5 just has tighter overall fit and a lower volume toe box.
I have the vapor 11s with this stud pattern and studs
Imagine if they did the Microsoft naming thing where it goes from 360 to one
I have that boot it feels the same as the other studs
Josh did you know that puma also Released a low cut future 18.1 netfit?
Yes, I have a pair on the way for review. Video coming soon!
Is there going to be an sg or anti clog version of these boots as it always rains in Wales
Yes. There will be both SG-Pro and Anti-Clog SG-Pro versions available.
Is the Superfly 5 and vapor 11 the same fit as Hypervenom phantom 2
Sizing is the same, the fit is not.
What is the difference between a nemeziz 17.1 and a nemeziz 17+ that u can’t laze up on the 17+
I go over the exact differences in this video ruclips.net/video/c3RYtkV7rS8/видео.html
My AG vapor 11s wrecked my toes so I hope the anatomical sole plate fixes this for the vapor
Scott W the sole plate is the same on both shoes, and the sole plate wouldn't affect your toes, that would be the fit.
it affected how the vapor 11 AG's fit around my toes, I owned AG, FG and SG so I would know!
Are the Mercurial Proximo 2 ic good, and should I buy them?
They're solid.
Hey josh can u wear these on turf fields
If I’m playing on both ag and fg pitches (4 times per week on ag and once on fg) should I get the fg pair or the ag pair?
Also, will the ag be effective on the fg pitches since I can’t get 2 superflys?
I'd go for the AG-Pro.
Or u could buy a pair of mg boots
Do a video for a fake superfly or vapour
I have the Phantom 3 low fire pack in the AG-Pro variation
Is the weight different to the fg Version?
Slightly different.
Do u think i can wear these on wet natural grass?
Yes you can.
Are you going to test the different colours? Are there any difference? If I buy these 400$ cleats will it make me play better than those poor kids in Brazil that play with bare feet
There are no differences between the colorways aside from the way they look. They're also not $400.
Will there be a low cut AG version? (Assuming it will be cheaper)
I would think so.
When do u think the veloce and victoty will be available for ur review
Likely around March 1st. I'm hoping to have the takedowns in for review very soon!
