Nike's NEW AG boots - what's changed?

[@Neroda]

Glad They've gone back to the previous AG studs. Had them on my HyperVenoms. Felt better to me, however it depends on what 3G/4G pitches you play on. Not all of them are to the same standard so grip may vary.

[@emmo119]

The right move. Now Nike needs to sell more of these in US. Majority of the pitches are AG/turf yet they push FGs for every boot variation. I tore my meniscus specifically from wearing FG on AG. I've been wearing AG ever since and have been holding onto my hypervenom 2s with this plate. Only way I've been able to get AGs have been through eBay and UK sites willing to ship to the US though which is not also available. FGs are safe for pro pitches and/or quality grass pitches even if slightly wet. AGs are even safer on harder ground/grass and reduce the impact on your body. Companies really need to promote that this is actually SAFER for athletes and they imo would make more money because consumers would have to use 3 boots (AG, FG, SG) and if they couldn't afford it then AGs are the default based on geographic location. I imagine it's wishful thinking though.

[@tusharpatil9400]

well said mate.Ppl should take note.Everything you said is true.FG boots really do risk injury on turf/Artificial grass with aggressive stud patterns.Need to see more quality AG boots with conical pattern sole plate which are much fewer number.

As someone who plays almost exclusively on AG. I prefer the "AG-R" over the "AG-Pro". A lot of the AG pitches i play on are shallow meaning if you wear FG boots there is a lot of stud pressure. I have had the AG-Pro sole plate before and it was ok but the past gen AG sole plate is >>>>. Nike overall is a joke though when it comes to the AG boots. There are a TON of AG pitches in the States and Nike doesn't even release the AG boots on the Nike US Website.

[@imranqamar9226]

I'm surprised Jay didn't mention that the Vapor 14 AG stud pattern which this replaces was itself almost identical to the AG stud patterns that immediately preceded the AG-Pro ones. So Nike seem to have been flip flopping between these two. I wonder if it's driven by sales data, performance or player safety.

[@ranjanharris3929]

I'm a bit disappointed with this move back to the AG-Pro stud pattern. I have played on this outsole with for years with the Superfly 5, 6 and Phantom GT and now primarily play with the AG focused outsole on the Superfly 7 and like it better. The main difference I find is the reduced pressure points on my foot with the 17 studs vs the 13 studs, the softer material on the studs may play a part as well. I only play on AG surfaces currently and dont feel much of a grip difference between the two patterns. I just wish Nike implements the 17 stud AG pattern on one of the other boots in their lineup so players still get a choice for their AG outsole like with the previous generation Mercurial and Phantom lineup. But overall, I'll still happily pick one of these two AG stud patterns over the very many "FG/AG" options out there. They work wonders for my knees and have helped me avoid serious knee injuries compared to several of my teammates who have not been so lucky.

[@TheJDM3]

The tiempo would be a good candidate for the 17 stud AG outsole since its FG outsole is the least aggressive of the bunch and already kind of like the hybrid on these vapors

[@GoodWillRacing]

I’ve really liked the AG-Pro on the Phantom GT. If you look very closely the studs (15 if I recall correctly) are ever so slightly shorter than any other AG-Pro tooling.

[@Altair.1187]

By the way, a cleat that suits you is most likely not going to suit another player. It depends mostly on the type and size of your foot, superfly hurt my feet and I think it's because I have a little bit wide foot, you most likely have rather a more narrow feet.

[@All_About_the_Benjamins]

@@GoodWillRacing also the AG-Pro tooling of the Phantom GT didn’t have any bladed studs, all of them were conical so that made for a safer tooling than that of the AG-Pro of mercurials.

[@nicknguyen7870]

I think Nike thought they could revert back to the 13 stud config, cuz they thought the new air zoom unit would make up for the 4 stud difference (going back to and pushing the hybrid fg/ag setup vs niche ag tooling = mass appeal + more sales) Edit: I feel you though!

I’m glad I got a pair of AG vapor 14 as someone that plays on both FG & AG pitches and can afford to buy boots for both surfaces then the Nike’s AG tooling of Vapor 9,10,&14 & Superfly 8 > AG-Pro tooling of mercurials. But if you play on both FG & AG or play mostly on AG pitches and can only afford one pair of boots then the AG-Pro tooling is a good compromise. But if those AG pitches are really old and worn down then AG will be preferable than AG-Pro when it comes to safety.

@@wydsafi because it works lol. Just because you have dirt in the studs doesn’t mean they won’t penetrate the ground. If the pitch is sloppy then ya FG (or even SG maybe) will be the way to go but most of Nikes AG-Pro tooling (except the Phantom GT because those studs are shorter) will work on most grass pitches unless they are more of a softer ground.

I can comfortably say that most human beings today play on turf/AG, but on the contrary most Football stores sell FG studs or indoor.

But yeah, I agree with the safety loss on AG Sole… but so far I’ve been playing on at pitch for about a month and feeling great, sooo….🤷‍♂️ Your choice! “Mercurial FG” Do not use Nike FG 15 on fake or artificial grass!!!!! I don’t understand Nike on this one!!!! If you look at the studs, it’s already scary on your mind😳🥵 and that’s true! The studs should be used only on RealGrass!!!
