PLAY TEST | Asics DS Light X Fly Pro 2

[@RegenTonnenEnte]

Thank you they are now on my shortlist! It's a rather long list though

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Love it mate! 😂 haha it's always a long list!

[@Sabundy]

Great video. Always cool to see you cover ASICS.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Thanks mate! I appreciate you tuning in!

[@galford4793]

Hi. I was buy Ultrezza 2 and they are great. Fit very well, touch is good. Transision between synthetic leather and real leather is ideal, better then Mizuno Morelia Beta. Sole is also perfect. I feel more faster player on AG type pitch. The last argument is the price - it is very affordable, even with shipping from Japan.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Love it mate! Glad to hear they work for you!

[@wanmuz8819]

I went from being a tiempo, t90 and copa boots fans to an asic fan just by one purchase. The ds light x-fly 5. Seriously why do no pros wear it? It baffles me it's complete 😂. But for those who wanted to try I'd recommend the normal ds light since it's affordable at roughly 70-80$. Leather in the front synthetic by the mid. But it molds to ur feet like a subway wrap for wide feet. The drawbacks are: 1) it's limited to the Asian market not that many in the us. 2) if u plan on using them in AG pitches, be sure to no go that aggressive cuz it's leather. But overall, asics for me over nike and adidas bro. Thanks to noah🎉

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Thank you for this mate! Super insightful 🔥

[@muhammadilhamie8476]

Very help of information by watching your videos on the DS Light X Fly Pro 2. I am in need of this boot reviews 🤩. Much love from Malaysia bro ❤️.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Thanks for watching!

[@ao3732]

I went TTS with x fly 5 and fit was perfect. way better than half size down. I think the toe shape is a little different in xflypro2, and in TTS they felt roomier than xfly 5 and not as secure heel. Very minimal differences otherwise. The one that fits your foot shape is the better one really.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

THat's class mate! Thanks for the feedback! 🤝

[@jadecolanes7042]

Thanks for the detailed review of another rather obscure boot, Noah! Ive been planning to get this boot but Ive been held back by the exposed mesh in the soleplate. Do you think that it would be sturdy enough to withstand wear and breakage from pitches that are littered with stones?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

No worries mate! Yes, absolutely mate - no issues so far with these

[@davidbugarin]

Asics DS Light X Fly Pro 2, Mizuno Morelia Neo4 Japan non-beta, NB Tekela v4+…you gotta bang one, kill one, marry one. Go.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Bang DS Light, Marry Mizuno, Kill Tekela

[@frits8649]

Love the asics and mizuno reviews. Looking to get a pair of Asics. What's the difference between DS light X-Fly pro series and the DS light X-fly5?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Thanks for watching mate! 🤝 Pro series is their focused "speed" boot, whereas the X Fly 5 is their "do everything well" boot.

[@yuanyao6115]

Great play test Noah！luckily，asics'football boots in China are very cheap.It's about $100

Hey noah, great video! I just want know your opinion between ds light x-fly 5 or pro 2 is better for me, my position is number 6 which is hold midfield. Your answer will be important to me, tq

Thanks mate! Don’t care about your position, just your foot shape 👍

[@joshratnam40]

Great video again! Would you buy these over a Japan mizuno model and what are your game day boots?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Thanks mate! Check the description 👀

[@_jinlee]

Do you consider the sole plate suitable for AG pitches? Comparable to Nike’s AG line?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Yes, I do

[@hiddenleaf414]

Hey Noah do you know if Adler is going to start making more sizes for their next run/order of their boots? I have a pair of Yamatokyos but I could easily go down another half size so I don’t wanna start to use them if I can return and wait for a correct size. Currently their smallest size and a half size too big for me.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

That's what I've been told! Hopefully they can make more sizes very soon

[@SimoneCapoccia]

Hey Noah, do you know how much more in grams the x fly pro 2 weighs less than the x fly 5 ? Also what are the main reasons you prefer the x fly 5 to the x fly pro 2? Thanks!

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I don't mate, but the Pro 2 is slightly lighter than the X FLy 5. I don't pay much attention to the weight of the boot, because at this level of performance, it doesn't matter AT ALL. It fits my foot better 😂

[@NightmareChronicles49]

Which one more comfortable? Morelia 4 beta elite or dslight xfly pro 2?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Really depends on your foot shape mate, but as long as you get the sizing right, I think asics fits more people

[@Rayoblanco10]

What are your current matchday boots?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

It's all over the place mate, trying to test everything I can in game!

[@gus6391]

I need some help with some new boots my crazy fast salah edition sole plate snapped in half 😭so I’m wondering the new tiempo legend 10 emeralds, new balance furon v7+ or the tekela v4+ pro ?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

YIKES! That's a bummer mate! If you like the crazyfast, I'd go for the Furon!

[@AML91368]

what boot would you recommend with wide toe boxes?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Tekela v4+ or an all leather boot like the Morelia 2

[@Eden-ss2jn]

Love the asics review. Also how would you compare the mizuno morelia 2s with the adidas predator accuracy in terms of length and width? Im looking to get a pair of the mizunos but I have some worries about the fit.

Same length, Morelia 2 is wider 🤝

[@coach-marc-football]

Hear me out Noah. The umbro medusae pro is one of my go to boots for training and wet field conditions. Very similar to these ASICS. It’s a boot from 2016-17 ish, k-leather in the forefoot, light as any speed boot, decent comfort and lightweight responsive soleplate. Only things it was missing are a good synthetic leather for sides and a more plush heel liner for more comfort. Umbro had a good formula with the first Medusae. Anyway, you, Jay Mike and Pep are my idols. No particular reason!

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Love to hear that! Will have to try and get a pair! Unfortunately they don't sell them anymore but I might be able to find some on the re-sale market 😎

[@CognizantCheddar]

My burning question: Asics DS Light X Fly Pro 2 versus Asics X Fly 5. Which would you rather play in? So far as I can determine, the only real difference between them seems to be that the X Fly 5 has a heel lift, and the X Fly Pro 2 does not. Is that true?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

DS Light X Fly 5 - fits my foot better and is one of my favorite boots on the market 🔥 Neither have heel lifts, but the soleplates are different

[@CognizantCheddar]

@@NoahCavanaugh Oh, so then the X Fly 5 gets you up on the balls of your feet only by curving the forefoot of the soleplate up, I assume? I'm misinformed about the heel. Thank you for clarifying.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

@@CognizantCheddar Exactly right!

[@nathanielhope6696]

Nice touch with new video effects with the circle highlights 👍🏼 Appreciate all the work you do to put the videos together. The script and presentation keeps getting better too but still keeping true to the straight up honest review. Much respect.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I appreciate you mate, thank you!

[@derbyyank13]

Appreciate the shoutout! They're such a great pair of boots and I am always so tempted to load up on them. Great video.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

No worries at all! 🫡

[@poofs12]

Bought these boots on ebay because of your reviews, would have otherwise never thought to try Asics. I went down half a size, fits perfectly, very snug and will break in nicely because of the k leather. Can not reccomend these highly enough to anyone looking. Wore these yesterday for a pick up game and can confirm they are 🔥🔥🔥

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Love to hear that mate🔥 So glad to hear they're working for you!

[@_cru8368]

If you’re playing on natural grass, can you feel a poke through the mesh part of the undercarriage sole of the shoe? They seem great. I just can’t figure out how to fix that mesh thing is under the cleats.

[@williamreiter7520]

Debating between the X-Fly 5 and the X-Fly Pro2 for my son--a speedy rugby wing who does a lot of kicking. Has worn Tiempos for years and currently wears Miz Alphas. Wants lightweight boot. Should we consider the weight difference between the 5's and the 2 Pro's when deciding?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I'd probably go for the X Fly Pro 2 so long as it fits!

[@hirhirr]

hope you will review the X fly 5 limited edition (pink ones) I think you would love them

Hi Noah, why in the sizing chart you wrote a 9 us for those but in this video they are 8.5 us?

hmmm I'll have to look at that mate

[@williamreiter7520]

Lockdown is important, too.

[@Jake-ek6pz]

Hey Noah, what's the most responsive sole plate out of everything you've tested recently? Appreciate the reviews as always!

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Probably either the Alpha, Razor, or Vapor!

[@haseeb10742]

Any chance you can do one of those 3D foot scans or just a simple measure yourself and share it with us? Would help in getting the right size I think if we could have that and compare to our own

[@NoahCavanaugh]

26.7cm in length, almost exactly 11cm wide

[@alexkantioler1565]

Hi Noah, I made a comparisol between gx2 and the vapor 15. It was very strange because the vapor is a lot tider in general but fits wider/rounder in the toe box. I would love the gx2 mainly because of the supersoft upper. But the toe box is so pointy I don‘t understand why they made it like that?! Thats a huge issue in my opinion… what do you think about that?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Not sure mate! Probably just a matter of 2 different teams within Nike working on the boots

[@alexkantioler1565]

But can you confirm what i mean? I had the sg version of both boots and heard the ag of the phantom would be a little wider in the toe box area…

[@garysingh5216]

Do you think this model is better or is the ultrezza 3 better?
