If I remember correctly, metal blades were banned in a lot of schools because they developed razor sharp edges from walking over concrete and other hard surfaces around less specialised sports fields. One of my friends had to go and get stitches in his shin after an encounter with some Adidas Predators when we were in school in the late 90s

Kieran is slowly turning into a goalkeeper

i live in australia and kangaroos are legally pests. They are extremely over populated and are still used in many products here, and their meat can be found in most butchers. Interesting that other countries ban it but not Australia itself.

I remember watching football on TV here in Brazil before 2010’s, metal blades were always a topic in rainy matches. The main problem was the knee injures that were way much susceptible to happen

I totally understand the metal boots. Playing baseball growing up, we used metal spikes after a certain age. If you got stepped on, WOW they hurt like hell. But, the ground grip interaction was insane, and they technically were legal, so we all dealt with the random spikes to the top of the foot

One tiny correction: Inter's kit has a snake on it, not a dragon.

"Using K leather is inhumane" *sick montage of skills*

Interesting that kangaroo leather is banned in the states but most footy boot used in Australian Rules Football use kangaroo leather. Even though Kangaroos are a native animal here in Aus, they are considered pests as well. Culling Kangaroo population isn't unheard of and Australians often eat kangaroo meat

Great vid, one small correction from an American viewer, Kangaroo leather was banned by just the California state government. The federal government refers to the governing body of the entire United States, who have discussed a k-leather ban but haven't done it

2:00 "UEFA want to be politicaly neutral"😂😂😂

God bless to the 1% who see this comment

8:55 “It was banned in California by the federal government.” As an American I feel like helping you out here, to tell you that that’s the equivalent of saying “It was banned in Germany by the EU government.” In the United States, the term “federal government” refers to the governing body of the larger United States, which would be unable to pass a law that would only be in effect in a single state. Anything specific to California would be passed by the California state government. (It’s kinda like how the UK has 4 countries in it, except the US has 50.) I know this may sound nit picky, but I just wanted to inform you about the terminology here. Not trying to criticize you, just telling you about American government :D Great vid mate, really enjoyed it!

Keep up the great work Kieran🙌

little do they know that kangaroos are actually a huge pest here in Australia

love the way you start and end the videos , keep working this way mate

Banging video and great edit mate

Ahh I remember the days of the bladed metal studs, some guys used to grind them down till they were sharp like knives

In Argentina, for about a decade or so, the AFA made a rule that Goalkeepers were banned from wearing pants and socks of a different color than the rest of the team. So, if the team they were playing for were wearing yellow pants and black socks, for example, they were required to wear those color of pants and socks too. Only their jerseys were to be of a different color from the rest of the team. That rule remained from the early 70s until the late 80s. And I really couldn't tell you why they implemented such a rule.

The gloves seemed way too grippy

Did any of these products surprise you?

This does not change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.

UEFA also banned a Benfica kit that had the Club Anthem written in it, albeit almost invisible has it was red on red.

You could do an entire series on UEFA kit bans/modifications

that kangaroo leather ban is bizarre. They are SO abundant. There's nothing inhumane about their farming haha.

Keep it. Up man hats off man😘😘😘👍 Loves your content

Love your vids

Hey Kieran Can u pls make a video of all the football kits and boots you have and your training gear too....many of us will love to see it 🥰

Please make more videos bro lov your content

Anyone know where i can get the inter miami tracksuit top he's wearing in the second item review.

Banger video lad!!

I literally tore both my ACL's wearing those exact same predator cleats. The first was my left, when I was 16, then recovered fully in 6 months, started playing again using vapors, then one game I forgot my vapors because I took them out of my bag to clean them from the previous week as that game had some nasty weather, but i had my old predators in the bag, wore them and tore my right ACL in that game. Never bought an adidas product again after that second injury.

I used to have predators with steel blades the exact same ones. I loved them

Keep up❤ make more videos like this

Appreciate the effort of flying to the Arctic just for the 5 second clip at 2:35.. that's dedication fr

hey Kieran where and how can i buy a jabulani and the wc 2018 ball

Have you seen them Imotana custom fit boots? Should deffo get a review up of them, compare to any other custom fit boots there is available

Out of all the boots Ive ever worn by far the best and most comfortable were the kangaroo leather orange boots i had.

Bro deserves a oscar for that ball clip

I'm glad we've finally got clarity on metal blades, some say they are banned, but then with retro boots everywhere I see them most weekends on people's feet. I can't find the ban anywhere. So they aren't banned just frowned upon. Thanks fella! Also, I think you test was a little harsh, surely it should have been metal studs v metal blades???

8:02 … I hate you both. 🤣 But anyway, those Metal Blade Boots were scary; I literally FLINCHED during the kicking test! 😰

Smooth my boy

Still got our metal blade predators! 😅🙌 Only boots that work on grass during the winter here in England! 😂 The Palermo top is still 🔥

Hey kieran! Im lucky to be early, so i just wanted to tell you that im your huge fan since 2018 and ive loved evey one of your videos(im a gk aswell so i liked ur gk series) and one time you replied to my comment when i recommended something about the cut music. So love from georgia 🇬🇪

That Miami top 🔥🔥

I love those metal bladed boots had the pred manias sg bladed when in Germany loved em lol

Great job

Video idea: try recreate the goats best goals!

What app do you use for the kick speed

Much love man❤

bro literally went back in time in the winter to get that snow clip ☠☠

Got to say I grew up with metal blades and got cut open a hell of a lot more with the plastic mercurial ones

The grip on those gloves were insane… Sheesh

I don't think colourful boots are anywhere near as popular now as they were 10 years ago. Everyone use to wear vibrant and extremely light boots, now it's gone back to black and quite often leather-style boots.

The gloves seem way too grippy love your vids keep up the hard work Kieron

Only Americans would ban something that's made from kangaroos (a actual pest), yet approve cow leather.

Deadset playing real footy (rugby) there’s nothing more I love than me metal studs the sound on concrete was unreal plus made the rucks fun

Loved metal blades when I was playing as a dirty defender in semi pro.

It wasn't a dragon kit, it was snake for the serpiente di milan

Love mullins f*** the tories boots😂, absolutely class!

Hey Kieran it's me again from the last video I just love it when you make videos about football products ❤️❤️

Ajax's " Bob Marley" shirt, got 3 little birds on the top of the back. But it was not aloud by the UEFA. So they had to play their matches without the 3 little birfs referring to the song

Yess he posted

We have just over 2 kangaroos per person here in Australia, not exactly a shortage of them here 😂

The heading back to the keeper is considered unsportsmanlike. It’s the same if you score by doing that.

The Predator year 2000 and 2002 metal blade are the real deal, they were sharp, thin and very long.

The header to the keeper trick is smart idk why its banned

Nice vid

When my family wants to order kangaroo leather cleats we order from out of state so we could still use them in California it’s just hard to get ahold of

Why I feel like without seeing video that intro was like copa mundials or kangaroo leather lol, which I did get me a pair here in cali through loop holes and moving pieces lol

Several things about the last one 1. I thought there was a surplus of kangaroos? 2. Kangaroo =evil, but cow is fine? 3. Is this synthetic leather made from plastic? I suspect it is. I thought we were supposed to be reducing plastic pollution? Natural is better, it'd at least be biodegradable.

Nice video so far.

had my foot broken by metal blades, but damn if they didn't grip well

I'm in California and I'm getting k-leather cleats next week. 😂😂

What are the blue gloves from, like where did you buy it, it’s beautiful

Him:You can’t dive for a tackle My brain:GAVI??

It was getting 2 footed by an opposition player wearing metal bladed boots that shattered my leg and left my leg permenantly bowed.

The blades were ruthless in high school, specially after 6 months when they sharpened up

when i trained football we had to get health checks.The day before i got my check i bought some new tiempos and my friend gave me some studs and i was the reason they got banned.I was a Cb and i was deadly.During my debut match (to make the team) the first half i got a yellow for a tackle.During the second half i almost got yellowed again in order for me to not get benched my friend dived and got me a free kick.I scored the free kick and took my shirt off and did a knee slide.I didnt know that i would get yellowed so they let it slide (lucky me) and on the 75 th minute the other team were about to score but the other cb clutched and saved it.However they did get a freekick.They almost scored but me and the cdm used this as a counter attack opportunity but we lost possesion.On the 89th minute the lw attacked but i fucking skinned him and he couldnt play for 3 weeks so i did get a suspension.My gaffa asked to see my boots and saw the studs.Since the studs were also nike studs the tiempos almost got banned but luckily only the studs were banned.Holy shit i was a menace.

8:54 it wasn't banned by the federal gov't (Nation wide) just Californias state gov't(State specific). You can get them in every other state in the US

This was a very nice video!

Next video: “alright there is a type of coke that some players use and today I’m buying it” *intense sniffing*

This guy is so underrated

I used to have metal stud boots! Understandable. Being a defender made things easy for me when your 8 defending like a king semi scaring some other kids with them

Kieran, I git the Man Utd green shirt because i thought it would be a good colour to wear so my parents bought it from $100 from JD and i really likes the shirt so much that i start to wear in public. Mines is in a kids size and i guess i got a banned man utd kit???

I have a pair of really illegal/banned football boots. Metal studs and there are only 6 of them on each boot... They are also BIG. Yet to lose a man vs man situation with those bad boys... the amount of grip you get is just stupid... but they are not fast to run with.

Keeper gloves do look super nice

The gloves are dope

I miss being able to buy K Leather boots here in CA.

I had no clue that the phantom elites that I have been using for the last 6 months were banned, wow

Cameroon national team shirts connected to shorts? One love armbands?

Another one was AJAX three little bird - bob marley edition shirt. they did not allow to add those birds there (uefa)

i really don't get why they banned thermal pants. one of my knees is sensitive to cold, if exposed to cold air for too long it starts hurting, i couldn't imagine playing in cold weather without thermal pants underneath shorts

what is the name of the new balance k leather boots that were banned by california goverment

I remember when a Italian rugby player had his calf sliced open because of metal blades

Using a bread knife to open a box at 02:48…😂…ironic given the video topic

That Inter Milan kit 😍

What is that pink and black kappa jesey called? It looks awesome

Is that a Holme FC top you are wearing?

I used to have K-Leather boots by Japanese brand Svolme and its so comfy to wear….

nice Norwegian beanie 😂
