[@AlexBegg1]

Hey man, thanks heaps for these videos. I play in northern Australia, always on real grass and occasionally in wet/muddy conditions. Sounds like the AG plate is the go for me. Thanks again, your videos are a huge asset 🤙🏼

[@NoahCavanaugh]

No worries mate! Aye that's awesome! 🇦🇺 Definitely a class pickup - might just get another pair of SG for when it gets really muddy, but outside that I'd go AG for sure

[@derbyyank13]

Finally picking mine up soon!

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Love to hear that! Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

[@derbyyank13]

@@NoahCavanaugh Thanks!

[@garycard4966]

Got these in black white and gold . Absolutely perfect for AG and finally a pair of boots that fit mg wide feet 👏👏🙋‍♂️

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Class mate! Love to hear that

[@dsanchez9703]

This silhouette is so cool in white with the all grounds sole

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I agree!

[@giovanniaiello-pang194]

Got the blackout pair in AG and absolutely loving them! ~7ish hours in them and I haven't seen any durability issues - knock on wood it stays that way

[@NoahCavanaugh]

That's class mate! 😎

[@khoidoan1009]

Managed to grab the Luna, in this colourway. They are definitely staying in my rotation.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Class mate! They're awesome aye

[@andrewc9524]

I gave this a shot with the AG plate instead of FG based on your recommendation! So far so good, except one brutal blister in my middle toe 😢. hoping they break in pretty quickly as the gripnit is so awesome!

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Love to hear that mate, bummed about the blister though! I've got calluses everywhere on my feet so if you wait long enough you'll be able to get into anything 😂

[@BeastRo]

Can you comment on the durability? I had the last year's model with AG soleplate. The soleplate cracked on both feet, right under the ball of the foot. These seem to have the same soleplate which scares me away a little...

[@andrewc9524]

@@BeastRo so far so good after one month at 2x training sessions + 1 game a week. Only complaint is I got one random blister and it bled through and stained the boot. Boots are very comfy now tho.

[@JRa_17]

Hey mate loving your videos. I have the NB Furon V7+ FG and they are great but the ground is rock hard here in NZ at the moment. Would you recommend the GX2's in AG for hard ground? COYG!

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Definitely mate 🤝

[@JRa_17]

@@NoahCavanaugh Cheers!

[@DaniellMilton]

Hey Noah, can you make a video on the feet exercises you mentioned near the end of the video? Also, any idea why Nike have only made the Luna 2 and not the GX2 available for custom on Nike by you? Cheers

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I can do my best mate, yeah! I got a pair of Luna 2 ID already, they're out!

[@LucidHimself]

Hey Noah, big fan of the channel. I play on both FG and SG, FG probably 70%+ of the time. Do you think the AG plate will hold up fine on Soft Ground pitches?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

SG is different from FG - I'd go for the AG and then get an actual SG pair that will do the rainy/muddy days

[@LucidHimself]

doesnt FG usually perform better on softer pitches than an AG would though? I can only afford the one pair at the moment@@NoahCavanaugh

[@shrldonc]

Can u wear the phantom 2s with narrow-normal feet type? Thanks mate, great video

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Yes, I reckon!

[@ophrasbankaccount7716]

thoughts on using these on turf AKA really short artifical grass. I currentl have the Phantom GX Elite and I have to say I think my knee isn't liking the long FG studs. I'm 24 btw so i don't want to be that guy "I was good until that one injury" lol .

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Totally fine mate! The AG is built for that

[@schumacker5986]

I have a pretty wide feet and I was really concerned about it. I bought the Gxs around two months ago and they are amazing for wide feet. Since the start of my experience with them they have shaped pretty well around my feet. My only complaint for this boot is the stud pattern which seems to get better with the AG model. Overall it's perfect for wide feet.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

That's amazing mate! Glad to hear it.

[@legocantbuilditself5034]

Noah can we still expect a video of you outing laces into the adidas x Speedportal +? I recently just caught 2 pair of them for $90 and was wondering if I should put laces in them.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Probably not mate, I don't have the boots anymore! I put laces in mine and it worked just fine 😎

[@legocantbuilditself5034]

@@NoahCavanaugh Do you think the cleats will hold up if I put laces in them? I'm a little worried about the upper ripping where the lace holes are poked.

[@Saviolgol]

Noah…appreciate the videos. Furon v7+ or these? I know they’re different “categories”. I’m looking at AG plate on both.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Nah that's a great comparison bro, not sure to be honest. I'd probably still pick the GX cause I love the gripknit but the Furon is a close second for sure

[@tobiasljunggren7001]

Hi, if you go with the Ag-variant on Furon, know that it adds about 45 grams of weight if you compare it to the fg-variant. I have 2 pairs of furon with fg but they get butchered on ag-pitches Gx2 ag on the other hand actually shaves about 5 grams, when you go with the ag-variant. (190-195 grams)

[@mhmd127]

u shouldve gona for white & black with gold or the fully blackout colour

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I prefer these!

[@nicoco23cr]

Would you recommend the GX2 AG over the Tiempo Legend 10 or the Mercurial Vapor 15 ?I play twice a week on AG and each Saturday on natural grass.Thx in advance.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

For my feet, yes! 👍🏼 That all depends what you prefer and what actually fits your feet the best! This AG plate will be just fine for FG too

[@jimmyzambrano7436]

can you do a review on the puma ultra pro hg ag? its a like the puma ultra ultimate but it has a tongue, they never released in the us, only in japan.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I can try mate, although I don't know if you'll like what I have to say about the Ultra 😂

[@williamarthur1491]

I know you mentioned you would recommend true to size Noah, but I tried on half a size down in the Nike store and they seemed to fit perfect for me, this may not be the case when my foot expands after playing but just wanted to hear if you thought going down half a size could be feasable ?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Okay, great! If they fit 1/2 size down then there's no harm in going for it! They'll stretch a little bit as well so you'll probably be fine

[@skalim_]

hi Noah, i have the mercurial Fg now but i need some Ag, which one do you recomend to me?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

If you fit in the Merc, go for the AG version of that!

[@jiraya74]

Hey Noah , do you think the Phantom GX 2 Elite AG is better for strikers than Mizuno Alpha Japan AG ?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Your position has absolutely NOTHING to do with the boots you wear. If you fit in both boots, pick which one you like the look of better! If you only fit in one or the other, go with that one! If you don't fit in either, find something else that actually fits you

[@lilfgogo330]

So you recommend the AG for Artificial grass but real grass aswell? Because I have to play on both

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Yep! Especially these. Or go with a model that has conical studs

[@theanimegod1bbontiktok794]

Where do you buy your boots at I always have a tough volume finding them in my size ir thr ones that I'm looking for. (I wear a size 13.5 US in adidas)

[@NoahCavanaugh]

All over mate

[@ant111_]

I have very wide feet. Currently I am wearing the wide size in the Furon V7 and I’m getting blisters on the mid foot from my feet overhanging out of the boot. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks for the video!

These GX2!

@@NoahCavanaugh love that ❤️

[@afsanafedayi3069]

Which one do you prefer the mad ready pack phantoms or the vortex one?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Vortex 100% - the Mad ready is dope but I don't really like the paint job on the GX.

[@Sandu_111]

I have used the mercurials for a few years and i dont have the widest feet. I like the lockdown in the mercs so will these be too wide and loose?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Probably mate! Unless you went down 1/2 size

[@cozopwtf]

whats your favorite cleats is it the mizunos??

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I have a lot of different ones I enjoy

[@empoweredbychrist777]

Would you prefer these or the new tekelas from new balance?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

That's a tough one! Probably these cause I love the grip aspect

[@alialbari8278]

Hey Noah, my foot size is in between a size 9 and a 9.5 US and my feet are on the narrower side. Do you think I should go with a size 9? especially due to the extra space in these in the toe area.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I'd go with a 9 for sure brother 🤝

[@afsanafedayi3069]

But what do you majority play on grass or turf because those are two major differences I feel like I should have both pair because I played both on grass and turf so

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I have both because I play on both!

[@maxkuchma7903]

Hey Noah, is there a big difference in studs length between fg and ag? Thank you

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Yes, the studs on the FG are about 2x longer

[@princessarias1333]

How do you put foam pad on your heel of your soccer cleats??? Pleaseee

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I don't, so couldn't tell you!

[@slap_7511]

Would these be worth over the fg version if i found the fg ones on sale for 212€? It feels like a significant price difference but im not sure how they would hold up on fg pitches

[@NoahCavanaugh]

These are AWESOME. Definitely my prefered model over the FG model 🤝

[@kazzpapi]

Hey Noah, weird question, but, bought these, played in them. The left boot feels perfect, the right one however has heel slippage, almost as if they are 2 different sizes. Had the same problem with other boots. Ever experienced something similar, any tips?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I'd venture a guess that your right foot is slightly smaller than your left 😅 Have you ever been properly measured? I doubt it has anything to do with the boots!

[@kazzpapi]

I see. Nope, i mean it looks like length and size wise they are the same. I guess the heel might be smaller on the right or something as im quite flat footed, so maybe the right one is more or less flat footed etc which would affect the lockdown. Thanks anyways

[@sethblack8828]

Does the ag model taper a lot less in the toe box? I have the fg and I don’t like the way it squish’s my big toe in.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Not really, no! They're the same upper and shape

[@fjkdksjdjsj]

Is there a big difference between wefoot normal grip socks and the thin version

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Just how thick they are!

[@stefanoleone7936]

Are there any boots similar to the phantom gx out there from Adidas? Not willing to buy gx2 as my feet are too narrow and there is too much spare material. Thanks

[@NoahCavanaugh]

No, I'd go for the furon instead

[@tudorruiu1067]

I want to buy an ag pair, but I think puma mg outsole is better. What do u think?

[@gmolina]

I'm on the same boat... Puma's MG outsole is better. However, if these fit you better and you play on nice AG fields, the Phantom might just be better for you. Personally, the Future fit me better than the Phantom so it's not really a choice for me. Straight up Future MGs for me all day long.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

The Nike AG outsole is better than the Puma MG, but the Puma MG will probably be better than the Cyclone360 on AG surfaces.

[@ridingwithsam]

The puma sole plate will separate real quick. Trust me.

[@gmolina]

@@ridingwithsam Just finished playing the winter season, all on AG. 7 months of practices and games on the same pair, no separation whatsoever. Separation is different for different players. Striking and running habits can have different outcomes on different pairs for people.

[@animeglassesguy7253]

Are there any issues with wearing AG plate on natural grass? Less traction and grip or do these work relatively well like a Fg boot?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

None at all

[@animeglassesguy7253]

@@NoahCavanaugh thanks wah tossing up which ones to get, gx2 AG or predator elites :)

[@anonym_2129]

Better than GX 1? I love my gx 1

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Depends on your foot shape mate - they're a tad wider than the GX1 so they fit better out of the box for me

[@Lenart-hy1ih]

Witch boot is better for a winger? Mercurial vaper 15 or the phantoms (ag)

The only thing that matters is what FITS you the best mate, so whichever ones out of those two! Both great boot models.

@@NoahCavanaugh thank you

Probably just fine! I'd try on both true to size and a 1/2 size down just to see which fits better though

[@tom-luismarin3826]

Do the Luna 2 fit same, so are Luna 2s good with wide feet?

Hey, I’m looking to switch from the Tiempo Legend 10s to the GX2 AG. I currently wear a size 9 for all Nike boots. My feet are slightly on the narrower side. Would anyone kindly care to tell me if I’m better off going half a size down on these or should I stick true to size?

9 mate

@@NoahCavanaugh thank you Noah 🙏🏽

[@Main_Bola]

Hey puma future or ultra for winger?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Neither. 1) Your position has nothing to do with the boots you wear. 2) Neither boot is best in it's category and not even close to the top. 3) Find boots that FIT you the best.

[@poetanderson3]

Excuse me sir, there are in fact people who like the Cyclone360 plate aka me. I think it is a bit more responsive than the AG model. BUT I will concede, that most people will Probly enjoy the AG plate more

I have tried these and they are abslolutly not for me , too stif , compression IS high level even more than the superfly in same size.
