10 years ago, Nike released knitted football boots took over the entire industry! It goes down in history as one of the most significant and impactful technologies ever introduced, with the world of football boots forever being changed. 10 years later, and true knitted boot options aren't quite as abundant, but there's no question in my mind that Nike still isn't dominating the space!
In today's video we discuss why the Nike Phantom GX 2 Elite, along with the mid-cut Luna 2, are hands down the best knitted football boots of 2024. We discuss the good, what I'm not such a big fan of, how they compare to the competition, as well as how they stack up against the OG that is the Magista Obra! What do you think are the best knitted football boots right now?

Love your videos man! Just wanted to say I’ve been watching your reviews for nearly 10 years now and I still enjoy your content. Best in the business, a true goat of the boot nerds community 😂✊🏽 we can always count of SR4U

AG soleplate

[@BenDover-zq6ey]

I’ve noticed that Nike products definitely do not get heavily discounted anymore. I think Nike is doing what Chanel does, and avoid big sales to make their products seem more premium.

[@LucasOyinlola]

Great vid w video

[@poetanderson3]

I would argue that the New Balance Tekela v4+ LOW is actually the best knit boot on offer. It has a more pliable upper & more neutral soleplate. The knit is arguably softer & the GX2/Luna2 is VERY voluminous boot & if your foot is narrow/low profile, the boot has SO MUCH dead space & becomes sloppy

[@dowhatyouregoodat]

New balance have any size 15 models?

[@richymanzo9817]

@@dowhatyouregoodatwhy don’t you fucking look it up ?

[@mihirjoshi199]

Doesn't the Furon V7 also have the same super pliable upper as the Tekelas?

[@poetanderson3]

@@mihirjoshi199 similar but tweaked slightly

[@Feanaro5503]

That soleplate could hurt you even standing on the AG in your house 😅

[@klutch...]

*I've tried all these synthetic "elite" models and I still like leather better. Leather molds to your foot like it was custom made for you*

[@Uraniumm]

Josh, are you going to review the puma future 7 match?

[@triip405]

No

[@josephfrancis1924]

Why would he review the match boots, I swear he only reviews ultimate or elite boots

[@GoodWillRacing]

The GX1 was soooo comfortable but way too tacky/sticky for me. No amount of time got me used to it. Makes sense though as I prefer leather. Bring back the hypervenom 3!

[@OnyxOrc04]

Faaacts! I loved those green and salmon (I think its called salmon idk tho haha) coloured ones

[@taliban223ms3]

I want hypervenom 1 for the memories

[@anc3stral.]

Hi Josh, im a keeper that play often on ag surfaces a little old and rough and i constanly do split saves, so the front and sides (especially where the thumb is and the inner side of the shoe) of the foot are subject to quite violent rubbing. Is this shoe durable enough to withstand these constant abrasions or would it be better to opt for a shoe like the new Tiempo? Thanks u.

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

I’m not sure that any boot in particular is going to hold up better or worse in that specific area. Or at least it would be impossible to predict. I don’t see why these would be any more or less durable than the Tiempos though.

[@anc3stral.]

@@Soccerreviewsforyou oh ok that's if they are on similar level that can be fine. I mean not even k leather shoes can endure a full season on me xD, thanks for the response.

[@shah7ad]

Hi Josh, been a long time follower. I'm getting back on the pitch after about 5 years. Could you recommend a budget boot that's like the Vapor 9? Thanks :)

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

Closest thing to a Vapor 9 is the Skechers Razor for sure. On a budget, possibly a Pro tier Mercurial or a takedown model of the Mizuno Alpha

[@p.eriickk]

Anybody have laces recommendations, I need a replacement pair that is preferably 36 inches or shorter for my boots

[@mihirjoshi199]

Hey Joshi, comparing this upper to the latest NB Tekela V4, which one is more pliable, thinner and flexible?

[@r0b3rt_959]

Tekela V4 hands down

[@mihirjoshi199]

@@r0b3rt_959 Unfortunately, they dont have a turf version and I play on really bad astro turf. Does the Furon V7+ Pro tf give the same pliable upper? would love to hear your thoughts.

[@Flash4ML]

How are phantom takedowns? I like them a lot, especially the look of the black and white colorway, but the price is wayyy out of my range. Is the gripknit only on the top end version?

[@poetanderson3]

The Pro model is basically the GT(2). Good model if you like that boot. Gripknit is for Elite model only

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

Much thinner and more rigid upper, without any additional grip. More like a Phantom GT than a GX.

[@Flash4ML]

@@Soccerreviewsforyou what a shame :/ Thanks for the answer 👍

[@natehovan552]

Would you recommend x crazyfast+ or vapor 15?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

I would recommend both of them. Picking between them is more so going to be dependent on what type of fit and feel that you’re looking for because they’re quite a bit different in that regard.

[@wajidhussain5305]

Phantom GX have the best colour options of any Nike boots

[@morada1728]

The gx2 Luna are so stiff and tapered AT the toebox i don't understand why so much people say it is a wide shoe , it is not. Same size 10us the vapor and superfly are wider than these shoes at the toebox be aware of that if you did not try them before buying

[@Mulloz1809]

Josh do you think you will change your mind when the new Mercurial lands on 3rd July? Plus, I agree, AG soleplate.

[@TannerMcCoyOfficial]

July 3rd? No way they wait that late no?

[@Mulloz1809]

@TannerMcCoyOfficial Yep. Realease to public Wed 3rd July. That's the date confirmed on FootyHeadlines. Its a UEFAchamp release, ready for epl 24/25 season in Aug

[@jacksoncoopa]

with the 360 soleplate, are these safe on newer turf?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

I wouldn’t recommend it. Bladed studs on turf are typically never a good idea

[@jonathanrios8603]

Do you know if there is a boot similar boot like the OG Nike Mercurial Superfly V DF FG?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

Nothing in particular comes to mind in terms of what’s currently available. The current Superfly wouldn’t be a bad choice if you’re a fan of the Mercurial series in general and looking for something somewhat similar in overall shaping.

[@anonymoustv5770]

too wide for me, but really good boots

[@p.eriickk]

What would ur recommendations for light and thin uppers (knit)

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

This would meet that criteria, as would the NB Tekela v4+

[@mihirjoshi199]

@@Soccerreviewsforyou what about the Furon v7+ pro?

[@p.eriickk]

🙏🏽

[@jjfernandez5044]

is there anything modern close to the vapor 13 elites ?

[@nickortiz215]

Wondering the same thing. The best boot ever made imo

[@FATALDEATHZ]

Every single time I play in these as well as the previous gen, I end up with the worst blisters in the same spot. Switched to Asics and is 10x more comfy than these

[@dimitarkirilov1691]

I'm from the furure, in 2027 Nike will make a mid cut tiempos

[@shadyhammam5226]

With the fg soleplate I’d go as far as saying they’re some of the worst boots on the market. The shape of the boot feels off and the soleplate is just awful. Never tried the ag so I can’t speak on that but it’s sad to see the direction they took with those boots.

[@kianbensend]

Hey Josh, Someone said in terms fit and touch on the ball, the New Balance Tekela V4+ low and the GX/Luna 2 are good comparative replacements for the Adidas Ace 17.1 and the Tiempo Legend 10 is a good replacement for the 2015 Adizero. What are your thoughts? Would you agree with those comments?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

I can’t say that I would necessarily compare any of those boots to be honest. Both GX 2 and the latest Tekela are excellent boots though

[@tn7328]

Puma Futures are much better for me.

[@sirenbrewingco.3235]

Can’t understand why any company would make a white AG boot. They turn dirty black and look awful after one session.

[@JFHernandez84]

Not the BRONCO!!!

[@josephlawrence1858]

Not with that joke of a soleplate

[@Poopypoop-zl2qx]

Hey Josh, I am wanting the haaland colorway but I play on artificial grass more. Should I get the ag soleplate or just go for the haaland color?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

The AG model is definitely the way to go if you regularly play on turf

[@the.big.melooo]

6th comment cuz I’m like that

[@S_ppy]

Please give me old boot SR4U me and my brother in Zimbabwe need boots please help us, even just one pair🙏

[@suk4ed]

this boot is ugly

[@daddycumsack]

i think the overall fit (i have a flat slim foot) of the pringan phantom gx was better but i think the new model has a slightly better grip and slightly softer upper after breaking them in
