  I will never undestand why Adidas and Nike made the best football boots ever around 2014 and then just moved on, making only worse ones...

  The contrast between Hypervenom Phantom 1 and 2 is crazy! I have no clue what they were thinking with that one?

  In terms of the hypervenom 2 it wasn’t just Neymar but a lot of the pros specifically Ross Barkley,Harry Kane and a few more I can remember just asked Nike to give them original hypervenom phantom 1 uppers which they did

  I think in Fellaini’s case it’s mostly due to the Visaro 2 rather than Visaro 1.<br><br>In terms of adidas X-speedflow.1 and X-speedportal.1.. it wasn’t just Karim Benzema. Scott Mctominay wore a few games with the X-Speedflow.1 at the early phases of the 2022/2023 season. Aaron Wan-Bissaka literally spend almost the entirety of the second half of the same season with a pair of X-speedflow.1<br><br>Other known examples of footballers not liking their boots or making some wild customization<br><br>Harry Maguire who switched to puma king ultimates since last season and his kings had leather uppers <br><br>Then lastly during the 22/23 seasons a lot of high profile names Joshua Kimmich,Vinicius Jr(the most high profile of the bunch), Federico Valverde,Luka Modric and for a brief while Bruno Fernandes all wore Vapor 14s for a while <br><br>Gareth Bale’s adidas boots be it the X or f50 adizeros were made with the uppers materials of the 2013 f50 adizeros

  I remember the same for Van Persie when the LZ released, he sticked with the AdiPower and won the PL. Even for a LFC fan like me it was something back then.

  That grey orange is beautiful. I had that one but really hated wearing it. Was uncomfortable. Preferred the Mercurial vapor X

  Nahh the HV2 were fine, just requires like 2 training sessions for break-in.<br>If anything they are comparable to the new pred 26.<br>I understand the contrast to the HV1 &nbsp;and that pros wear new boots every game but they were fantastic on field.

  I noticed you are using the Tiro Pro ball, can we expect a review coming soon? I have always been curious about this ball and how it compares to other match balls. Additionally, can we get a detailed comparison between a derbystar and the Brilliant super TB and UZ? I know the derbystar is hand sewn but what else is different? I notice that you always say the UZ or TB are the best balls on the market, why not the DerbyStar?

  Hey Jay! I wanted to ask you a question, would you prefer laceless or laced adidas predator league (predator 26, the lucid red colourway)? Also, do laceless boots lose tightness over time?

  I tried to wear test the new predator 26 league and after two sessions my ankle is purple and my Achilles feels not great so I’d stay away from those given the chance again lol. I really love my 25 elites so I wanted to try the league, pro and elites for the 26 but I’ll definitely be going back to old reliable. The heel on that boot just gives me issues and honestly wasn’t worth the wear test. Nike has some good budget models and you can’t go wrong with a copa mundial for similar money at the outlets
