For as long I've been reviewing football boots, I've always stressed the importance of using the proper stud pattern for whichever playing surface you regularly play on. In 2022, artificial grass is extremely common, where as AG specific boots and stud patterns are not. While I can't make them more readily available, I can tell you which ones you should be looking at.
In today's video we take a closer look at the new Nike Zoom Mercurial Vapor 15 Elite with the AG-Pro stud pattern! It brings pack the slightly longer hollowed out AG stud design famously worn by Neymar a few years ago, and combines it with the new Air Zoom tech of the latest Mercurial, making for what I would argue is the BEST AG soleplate and stud pattern ever made! It's a bold statement, I know, but let me explain why I think it's so good.

Tore my ACL my freshmen year of college. Used a pair of FGs on a natural grass field, in a cold 45’F day. Ever since, I’ve worn exclusively AG boots no matter the field type. My ankles hurt less after playing, my knees are healthier than ever and I actually feel lighter on my feet when I wear these on AG fields. Buy AG Boots

The AG pitches I've played on are just not as soft and a bit older. So if the AG you play on is grass like and FG could work, then these AG pro are top notch. I'll be trying out the Vapor 14 AG specific model to see how it holds up next.

They've kept a more bladed shape, not as agressive as the Pred Edge design, but I question why they would deviate from the design they had standardized on a few years ago. The carbitex insert is amazing to see added, but I don't understand the stud shape change they made.

I've noticed I'm a bit more sensitive to the impact on turf since turning 30 and while some of that can be down to footwork and training being less regular, I think some of it just comes with the miles my body has on it playing on turf most night of the week every winter for over a decade here in the US. Very excited to see how they do, and the bar is set very high by this review. As stated in other comments if Nike would sell AG in the US they would absolutely clean up in the market when it comes to AG.
