Okay, I can confirm these are by far the most durable boots I have ever had. Ordered a pair of AG boots, used them on pretty hard 3G surfaces for the past 2,5 years and the boot proves to be literally undestroyable so far.
These are excellent boots. After years of wearing Kaisers/Copas/Nike Premier I felt it was to time to outlay a heavier investment in a modern football boot. These are light, satisfyingly responsive (wear thin socks) and suitable for those with wider feet. Two suggestions: Firstly, I'd recommend going half a size up from your official size as the toe box is perhaps otherwise a tad too tight. Secondly, I favour the AG stud pattern over FG. Still plenty of traction, but not overly aggressive and easier on the joints.
Leighton Gardner I saw some pics today of someone that somehow got some early idk how?? 🤔 but I hope they’re real bc they look SO GOOD. Looks like they’re made of flynit!
good review Jay but out the box these boots have one little problem for me. I also know someone else who also had this similar issue. The part where the striking element meets the toe box formed an awkward crease that dug into my knuckles and hurt like shit while playing at first. What I did was breaking them in slowly. I soften up the creases with lil bit of water and wearing the shoes walking around for a while. That part then stretched, molded to my feet and stopped digging into my knuckles. Now the boots are very comfy. Hope this helps if anyone else is experiencing the same thing because these are definitely the funnest boots from nike right now, after break-in period.
I find the phantom venoms fit a half size small, it's very tight in the toe box compared to my vapor 13s and superfly 6s. The liner Nike used around the ankle on the venom is the hardest and most uncomfortable in the Nike line up. I love the grip and shooting fins but the vapor 13s are just a better boot overall
Dont get me wrong these are amazing boots, they really feel natural on feet. I love the sole plate, and the upper is actually more flexible and softer than the vapor 13s. It's really just that liner around the ankle that bothers me.
@@charliegilson7941 I find adidas fit a bit wider and half size bigger than nike. so If you can't try them on, go with the same size you wear in your adidas or half size bigger than usual for those
I ordered these yesterday and they are coming in tomorrow 👍. I wasn’t sure to get these or the mercurial vapor 13 and I’m glad I made the right choice 😂
Loved the venoms until the fly wire cables on the exterior side of the boots would kill my pinky toes giving them bruises. Moved to the new mercurials and absolutely love them now
I was watching this video when I was on the Nike website looking at this boot. I wasn’t entirely sure about the boot but then the boot bag was shown and I ordered it straight away. can’t go wrong with a boot bag
I had the best team training session of my life today. I also wore my game over pack venoms and everything I shot went in. Great technique no striking element yes. Not really all technique.
Dude. JMacaroni. I just put my k-leather Laser IIIs back in my bag because I’d been in a rut with my aggressiveness, Nothing like a good power boot to fix the old mental hiccup. Damn I till love those things.
are they any certain boots you would recommend if I was only looking for lockdown, preferably with a glued or non movable insole as well. my last boots were the original furons and as you know they were basically a solid plastic, but they held my foot down super well and i really liked the sole plate on them as well, but I cant find anywhere that has a pair for sale anymore
Tiempo Legend 8 would probably be the most padded simply down to having multiple layers, but I think the MIJ Mizuno Rebula 3 would be a better overall option while still having a padded feel.
Having a pair of phantom venoms, they are my best pair of football boots I’ve ever had, too bad I can’t play at the moment due to a sprained ankle I got while also playing in them 😂😂, not the boots’ fault though
I am currently wearing the red color way and is the best boot to curve. It is kind of difficult to get under the ball because of the big toe cover on the boot. That to me is a concern but Still a good overall boot
I've just took delivery of these in the AG version in my usual uk 9.5 and find them a little big, I've now ordered a size 9 to compare before deciding what size is best, anyone else had to go a half size down?
Go half a size up from your official foot size. I'm size 8UK so I go down to 7UK for Kaiser/Copa, but on these the toebox is too tight for 8UK and so 8.5UK was re-ordered and they fit like a glove. Wear thin socks and wear them gradually 👌👌👌
*wear them in gradually Yes, these are also decent for wide feet. Been trying to get into Mercurial Vapor's for years, but they're just too narrow. With the right size and a patient break in time, these will prove the responsive gloves you're after
Phantom venom is the only boot that jeffery does not promote his sr4u laces on because he knows how much effort it takes to replace them😂😂
I don't think the market is ready for double ACC..
Me: *shows my friend a video about football boots*
Josh: *makes a joke about acc*
Me: *laughs*
Friend: *visible confusion*
Hahahah facts
also the string bags
Who's Josh?
@@patric3766 oh u mean jim?
robert gullett i think u mean Joseph
I currently wearing the venom in the black/gold color way and they are brilliant
Best colorway
Black Lux I guess
Did you have to go up a size from your usual soccer shoe sizing for the venoms?
@@JfaJosephR9 no. I'm a size 10 and got size 10 and they fit perfectly. they are on sale on nike for 149.97..gold and white colorway..the rest are 250
rusofxx wow that’s strange, I’m normally a size 10 and it’s too small might have to go to 11
Thanks Jay-Z I’m gonna get myself a pair of Phantom Venoms, found a great sale price on the red colourway
Picked these exact pairs of boots last week. Absolutely love the fit and feel of them.

Have the Nike takedowns for the new generation of mercurial been released yet? I'm itching man 😥😥
Leighton Gardner I saw some pics today of someone that somehow got some early idk how?? 🤔 but I hope they’re real bc they look SO GOOD. Looks like they’re made of flynit!
The release of the takedown models have been delayed by Nike due to some issues. Josh made a video on it not a while ago.
Takedowns with flyknit my oh my dreams do come true
Leighton Gardner not flyknit, more like a mesh
Same! Taking ages!
Inject the ACC into my veins already
Thanks for the video Johannesburg! I almost forgot about these.
Hey mate,
Will you be reviewing the Diadora Baggio 03 Italy OG boots???
Bought these a few days ago. Awesome pair of boots.
Do You recomend them?

You put them in hot water or cold water ?
@@Imgordinho just a lil bit of cold water.

If I wear uk11 in Adidas x then what size should I get in these phantom venoms anyone thanks

Have the launch colorway. Possibly my favorite boot since the Hypervenom 1 ❤️
I use predators in the size 8.5, If i were to buy these should I buy a half size bigger or the same 8.5?
I ordered these yesterday and they are coming in tomorrow 👍. I wasn’t sure to get these or the mercurial vapor 13 and I’m glad I made the right choice 😂

last time i was here mizuno boots were the best of the best, hypervenom and magista were also big
Josh can you please do a review of the new Serie A ball 2019/2020
I just got the Venoms today, but it hurts around the ankle when i shoot and switch directions. Is this normal, and does it go away?
Petter Lind mine did as well. Give it some time, it will get better as your feet Get used to it
Nick Hvidegaard Nielsen thank you
Are you going to review the Phantom Visions in that same Colorway?
It's basically a Laser 5 and I love it
The target on the bag reminds of that video of Wayne Rooney drawing a target on a camera and hitting it with the ball.
The swoosh on the venoms look like the diamond play button but in a different color
Hey Josh I want to buy new football boots and I am thinking about phantom venom or predator 19+. Which would you suggest?
I much prefer the Venoms.
I much prefer the Venoms.
I like the old way you introduced football boot better than the new way!
I want the world's first "double acc" football boot
Dude. JMacaroni. I just put my k-leather Laser IIIs back in my bag because I’d been in a rut with my aggressiveness, Nothing like a good power boot to fix the old mental hiccup. Damn I till love those things.
I need a mid cut version for ankle support
Are these the Nike Phantom Venom Elite Black Volt colourway ?
I just ordered the bright yellow/green colorway
What is a wearable finish
Hey Jonte, plz make a top 10 list of best performing cleats for the new 2019-2020 season
are they any certain boots you would recommend if I was only looking for lockdown, preferably with a glued or non movable insole as well. my last boots were the original furons and as you know they were basically a solid plastic, but they held my foot down super well and i really liked the sole plate on them as well, but I cant find anywhere that has a pair for sale anymore
The new Mercurials are what I would go for.
Why you didn't change the laces Josh?🙈✌
I am going with the Mercurial’s !! BUT if they come out with a quad ACC boot, then I would bet the first to buy it ! ( Not a chance )
When are you going to review the tekela v2?
Hey Josh can you please make a video on the difference between pebax and tpu soleplate and the pros and cons of each.
Hey Joshua King, I am looking for the most padded modern leather boots. What do you recommend?
Tiempo Legend 8 would probably be the most padded simply down to having multiple layers, but I think the MIJ Mizuno Rebula 3 would be a better overall option while still having a padded feel.
Hey i got the vapors in 46 which size i should buy (Venoms) ?
What should I get vision or mercurial?
Mercurial
imo first generation hypervenom phantom was the best from the line
Did you have any problems with the inner sort of tongue ripping on the inside of the boot?
0:16 I chocked on my acc fork
Are these volt phantoms leather ?
Having a pair of phantom venoms, they are my best pair of football boots I’ve ever had, too bad I can’t play at the moment due to a sprained ankle I got while also playing in them 😂😂, not the boots’ fault though
Same here 😂. I've only really played one match with them and i love them . But i injured my hip/thigh flexor .
Great lookin boot, really nice! The problem is still this cover on the laces. They should release a new one without this.
You should review the new balance tekela v2 and new furon
I have the phantom venom club i wonder is it good becouse from the experience i have its prety desent wats your thoughts
Sorry *decent*
Mizuno Morelia Neo or Phantom venom??
Arguably the best football boot nike makes now? Still? Even after vapor 13’s launch?
He sayed the best perfoming nike boot is the vapor 13
I am currently wearing the red color way and is the best boot to curve. It is kind of difficult to get under the ball because of the big toe cover on the boot. That to me is a concern but Still a good overall boot
That doesn't make sense mate
What doesn’t make sense mate?
@@gavinchao2149 how do the boots make it hard to get under the ball?
The toe cover below the laces is taller then my old cleats which were easier to shoot with
1:16 the part of the boot he’s holding is taller then my other cleats
Such a cool boot these, also the best colour-way
You need to review the Asics Menace 3 best boots in Australia in my opinion
This fantom venom has "ФУТБОЛ" (football in russian) label just above Nike logo ))
Can you put coupons for kids sized shoes
Is this a bad cleat for a defender
Josh..what about the takedowns of the vapour 13
I've just took delivery of these in the AG version in my usual uk 9.5 and find them a little big, I've now ordered a size 9 to compare before deciding what size is best, anyone else had to go a half size down?
what boots do u usually wear?
Do the Adidas X 19.3 laceless next
When u gonna review new mercurials takedowns
I'm desperate rn
If i get nike to add acc on my school report will it instantly make it better 🤔
Hey should I get size 8.5 for the Nike premier 2 if I normally wear size 9 so I can stretch them out?
Get them size 9, I have them
Luca Peluffo do you’re stretch a lot?
Hey Josh what about the Phantom Visions!!
Hey Jah can you put ag cleats on your website to buy?
Just bought the green colorway for $80 , yes the pair with ACC 😂
Nike’s gotta make an ACC pack for the meme
Make a play test of the phantom vnm
Am I getting T90 vides right now ????
I'm size 9 in vapor 12 elite, same size with this?
Yes
Are you gonna review the newest color way of the vsn and venom the volt color ones
He probably gets them for free so why not
Does anyone else see the ua zipper boot in the phantom venom???
Hey j money what is your favorite football boot
They didn't put acc branding on the new mercurial so all of the acc leathers what they have left , they put it on vnm . 😛
Hey josh I'm currently looking for boots under 150 and for wide feet?

Of course how we can forgot ACC?!
anyone else get a blister on the side of their ankle? i’ve only played with them twice because of the blister

Those boots are have more grip then the spider man boots
I already forgot about them, though

Does this model fits wide feet?
Go half a size up from your official foot size. I'm size 8UK so I go down to 7UK for Kaiser/Copa, but on these the toebox is too tight for 8UK and so 8.5UK was re-ordered and they fit like a glove. Wear thin socks and wear them gradually 👌👌👌
*wear them in gradually
Yes, these are also decent for wide feet. Been trying to get into Mercurial Vapor's for years, but they're just too narrow. With the right size and a patient break in time, these will prove the responsive gloves you're after
Hey Jeff does Nike make ACC string bags too?😂😂
They do actually! Check out Jesus' review on the latest tiempos
Where's the adidas pack?

That was me until last Thursday. Messi 15's until I got the predator 19.1.
yes
Great guy!!!
Is phantomvenom just hypervenom
It's hypervenoms replacement
Previous videos you said the new Mercurials were the best Nike has to offer
thats why he said “arguably the best” not “the best”
