However, NIKE basically never listen to Chinese customer's voice and their boots are easily damaged on AG pitches.

Thank you. Was waiting for this. Wish you had gone a bit more in depth on the AG version (2g/3g). As far as I can tell that is the surface most people play on, hence it should be reviewed the most but it always seems to be left out. Also it sucks they didn't keep the external heel counter, really affects the design. How does the boot feel to actually play? Does the extra weight feel like a hindrance at all?

Great video, thank you so much for this. Just had one last question, I only play on artificial grass (with the rubber pallets) and I really wanted the Foldover tongue version to add to my rotation. I have Tiempo Legend 9 Elite AG, Premier 3 Turf and Mizuno Morelia II Japan. Do you think the FG version would be really risky or is it manageable if used in rotation with the above mentioned boots.

@tn7328 5 ай бұрын

Yes. I used the FG with the tongue and its damaged my legs from all the impact. There's also too much friction.

Can you make a review on the predator 24 elite turf there a 140$ and are supposed to be the same quality as they are “elite”

@user-yn6pv8vd5n 4 ай бұрын

I think it depends on what type of ag your playing. I played on some good ag pitches were they merched rubber pellets with sand and the pitch was pretty deep. So you could play on it with an FG stud pattern so I did that and it felt good. But I also played on some other ag where it wasnt that deep and also had stud pressure at times and it didn’t feel that great so I bought an AG boot. So it depends. And the FG of adidas used to be fg/ag anyway. So I think you can use it on AG. Unless its an old/short AG pitch or turf

@rafalpaliga1775 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for this review! I play only on ag surfaces and the outdoor pitch we use is a good quality soft surface, however, the indoor turf, even though it looks almost identical as the outdoor one, feels little harder, and the Puma Future Pros MG sole plate feels a bit soft and not very supportive. Should i buy the 2g/3g or TR model that is $100 cheaper? I do have to say that i enjoy plying in lighter boots... thanks in advance for any feedback!

@ballist1x407 5 ай бұрын

The problem with turf boots IMHO is they are like trainers and honestly I can't get the same power in a shot like I can with boots. These 2g3g versions look like an ideal cross between ag and tf with the best of both😊

Whilst the 4g ag version might seem similar to the FG versions there is a world of difference when actually using them I found when playing on 3g surfaces. With the FG I found there was way too much friction and my feet were always dragging. I tried the 4g version with the copa pure 2 and they were completely fine: No dragging, no noticeable stud pressure and very light and nimble. I also have the 2g/3g version and tbh I wish I could send them back. They're great for very wide feet, and there's no stud pressure at all, but they do feel bigger and clunkier. Maybe it's a placebo effect from Jay Mikes reviews who hates them.
