Is Nike tech going backwards? - Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 vs Vapor 14 Elite

[@soubido]

But they made ACC in three different languages on the Vapor 14, so I'd say the new one is definitely better.

[@connallmcerlain1539]

[@turbofarmproductions]

at 4:53 you said the vapor 14 is "objectively the better upper" while pointing at the vapor 13 which you were actually referring to. Owning both, the vapor 13 is way more comfortable and natural. Just pointing this out for the kids on here.

[@kubakusmierczyk4318]

i play in vapor 13 for 2.5 years, i bought 5 months ago superfly 8 (vapor 14 with sock) and i played in them about a month, after that i sold the superfly 8 and i go back to vapor 13 in my opinion this are the best football boots ever made and i tried some of the newest shoes but it is not the same as vapor 13

I've had vapor 13s for almost 2 years playing on FG/AG fields. Amazing shoes, best fit ever. The studs seem to weaken but still wearable and playable in important games. Not planning to upgrade to 14s at the current price. I'd go with discounted 13s(any color)

[@marco7838]

I have tried the mecurial vapor 13s a lot and used the phantoms but for both the side of my foot (the inside of the boot) sinks into the side of the boot. Its really uncomfortable only there. Do you think it will be better to go for an Adidas speedflow .1? My feet are quite narrow

[@andrewpalmer1873]

It is quite bizarre wearing both boots for a session. If you got both pairs, I highly suggest giving it a go; just for the experience. After doing so, I came away enjoy the the 14’s more but also thinking the 13’s were better. Although 14’s fg are better then 13’s fg on artificial grass pitches... even though your not supposed to play on those with either boot.

[@blackaaangenaam7840]

everybody olays fg on ag

[@lefonwastaken3393]

The upper will just come down to preference, but visually, the 13 looks so much better. The see through design on the 14 looks very weird. 14s also look like riced up boots with those speed wings

[@harveyymcmb]

The changing of the upper coming away from the fly kit has killed the mercurial.. the boot simply doesn’t hug your toe area as well as the 13s.. I bet everybody who has 14s can agree the shape of the boot when you have them on is flapping over the sole and not snug.. reason why so many footballers are leaving mercurial: haaland, Reece James, Kyle walker the colourways and design look great but the tech is not as good as 13s

[@All_About_the_Benjamins]

Haaland and Reece James both wear Mercurials, with Reece James still wearing the Vapor 14s to this day(mid October, 22) as was Haaland for the longest time, until he switched to the Vapor 15s early October, 2022.

I feel like a good way to know if a new gen boot is better than the previous is how quickly players switch from the old get to the new gen. Ex: a bunch of pros havent switched to the x ghosted after all this time and im pretty sure son switched back to the older gen for a couple matches

Wearing the Freaks without spikes and upgrading to the Nike mercurial elite 13 i found them to be perfect no blisters and pain compared to my freaks which gave me blisters to the point I was in pain, I loved the speed flows and the other boots like the speed flows but love laces scoring 152 goals for my team with the mercurial and loving the comfort and fit along with the feel of not much of a difference between the 14 and 13 to be honest. The boots you should get aren't one's people say the best you need one's that you enjoy wearing and comfort is a massive part in buying a boot alongside anybody can play in a boot and get different performance out of them.
