For as good as I think they ultimately are, there have been quite a few complaints about the latest Phantom model. Blending elements from the original GX and Luna, the GX 2 and Luna 2 aren't exactly what everyone was hoping for. But what if I told you that Nike has already fixed all of these problems?
In today's video we take a closer look at the AG-Pro version of the Nike Phantom GX 2 Elite, boots that swap the OG Luna soleplate that so many have complained about, for the OG GX soleplate, along with a more familiar stud pattern! We talk about how this changes the fit, feel and experience, along with how the AG-Pro model compares to the FG one.

Nike have the best ag sole plate. Not too aggressive and circular plastic studs.

[@All_About_the_Benjamins]

I actually think the Nike AG-PRO soleplates are a little too aggressive, I prefer Nike’s regular AG soleplates like the ones on the Vapor 14, Legend 9, and the Academy models.

[@tn7328]

@@All_About_the_Benjamins The studs on the tiempo 9 are longer. AG-Pro has very short studs

[@TH-dg7mn]

Just got the triple black colorway in AG-pro. Best boot I’ve ever had!

[@mwf650]

The gx AG soleplate reminds me of old diadora sole plates

[@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw]

Me too, my Maracana had a similar plate

[@superfly3628]

Elite boot knowledge, you're absolutely right

[@NotoriousVictorious]

Love all your videos Jared

[@allimann693]

I can’t find the AG version you’re showing in the video. I’ve checked on the Nike app and website. Can you please share where you got them? Thanks 🙏🏾

[@j222lian]

4:15, here I sit with a medial meniscus tear because my GX2 fg got caught in the artifical grass. Just ordered AG lmao.

[@orionbasecamp8748]

Would you recommend the ag or fg soleplates for me because I spend around half the time playing on gras with the other playing on turf. I'm not sure what kind of turf it is that my school has but it isnt astro and i have never had problems with fg soleplates. The Pile height is 2 1/4” - 2 1/2” I am mainly not sure because I like the responsiveness of a stiff plate as well as the easy change of direction with blades.

[@eerovainio413]

Will you also be making a video about the SQ soleplates, since they're 'interesting' on the new gen boots

[@leekellehern7]

I don’t think of a pair of boots have ever screamed “buy me” more than these on release. probably the best boots I’ve ever put on my feet straight out the box. needing boots made for ag is a big deal breaker for me so between these as the predators the gx 2 is a clear winner for me in ag model. 👌🏼

[@npc2k]

Did you size down or tts?

[@leekellehern7]

@@npc2ktrue to size was perfect for me

[@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw]

Why do you like these over the Predator 24 AG?

[@leekellehern7]

@@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw The ag solplate is so similar to the fg soleplate so I don’t see them as a great option for ag pitches, unless it’s a 10/10 pristine ag pitch. The Nike ag soleplate imo is much better for ag surfaces.

[@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw]

@@leekellehern7 fair enough, i have the speedflow.1 in ag with the same plate, the studs are definitely shorter than the fg and you get more. That said, you are right that this particular ag plate is better overall. Wish adi would hollow theirs out and shorten the studs more. There is a new AG option for the current Pred though that i would love to try and looks incredibly safe and comfortable

[@KeeperCharlie]

I wonder some of the pros actually went for AG sole plate instead of FG

[@All_About_the_Benjamins]

So far they’ve been using the SG soleplate, which is also based off the GX 1 soleplate.

[@puntaflex76]

A lot of them use the soleplate of the tiempo legend 4

[@jimmychau6120]

They do use ag on training days

[@lordbraithwaite4919]

@@jimmychau6120oh really?

[@alexanderrodriguezcasco1131]

They protect Their knees. Remember, most of the time, they get training on sintectic fields.

[@larspernet173]

This video helped me a lot wit my choice 🤩🤩

[@phoenixf786]

the problem is that they no longer produce the AG-Pro version for Nike Pro, but only Academy low and Elite 😡

[@roymuscutt2960]

The GX2s i have in AG do feel a bit more comfortable...really good in the wet.. almost predator like grip. I would recommend the Elite as that is the only boot you get the full grip with. Same for the Mercurial, with Zoom 3/4 soles... always go Elite. The only one i'd say save money on is the Tiempo Pro now its not leather line of boots.

[@kristiancastillo1730]

Do you play in FG I want the AG but I play all in FG grasses I want to know if the AG is good on FG

[@roymuscutt2960]

@@kristiancastillo1730 All depends on how Firm Ground the pitches you play on are. In the UK, when its not wet or raining.. so really June to September AG boots work really well. FG studs are longer, i can wear them on AG pitches but my knees and heals dont like it.

[@costasjordanou7653]

Thanks! so it’s that time again for me, I have phantom vision 2’s FG SG and AG, I like to use the same boot on different surfaces so it feels as much the same for me as possible unfortunately my AG’s need replacing and I can’t get phantom vision 2s again, so after your help and advice I am going for the phantom luna 2’s in AG my AG phantom visions are size 10 should I go with the same size again or size up for these? For years I come back to your Channel when it’s time for new boots and your consistency and indepth information is amazing keep up the great work !

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

I’d stick with the same size. I personally wear the same size in both 👍

[@sevy19]

Wore my fg pair on turf field and less then a week there’s already signs or rips on the side of the cleats

[@growingsmilespediatricdent7452]

Josh following the link for the GX 2 Elite AG Pro coupon, I can't find a coupon for the AG's just the FG's. Any thoughts?

[@gabr131s9]

Nice comparison. I’ve been playing in phantom gt2 ag for last couple years, love the boots and I play both ag and fg fields. (The new GX2 AG is basically the same as the GT boots, just the GT we’re slightly stiffer overall). Recently bought a new pair and tried the hot water trick, and the upper became considerably softer. Can’t wait to get out and test them out

[@npc2k]

What hot water trick?0

[@gabr131s9]

Haha warm water trick to soften the upper of new boots

[@npc2k]

How do i do it thanka

[@Hadiahmed2028]

I’m a 14 year old and i use the Luna 2s is it fine if i use them on turf or will the injury chance be high even for my age

Hi Im Memphis

[@trampyfn5307]

Are they gonna drop any new colorways soon?

[@nicknguyen7870]

The only problem with the AG plate on FG is the hollowed studs, cuz of the extra mud =\

[@Feanaro5503]

A paper clip works pretty well for getting out the mud.

[@trampyfn5307]

​@@Feanaro5503how do you keep them as white as possible?

[@kristiancastillo1730]

Josh quick question if you could please answer I play mostly in FG but I don’t like all the bladed studs that come with the FG version if I end up getting the AG version don’t think I’ll have good enough traction to play on FG ? The AG version reminds me of the Hypervenom phantom 1 where the studs were all round ?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

You’re good to go! This AG plate is great on natural grass as well 👍

[@Jcob29]

So the GX1 was a FG/AG boot?

[@JuanMorales-lx2ck]

Can someone explain the difference between low cut/high cut boots . Sorry haven’t bought cleats since 2012

[@irishsoccerguy]

Yeah it's just whether or not the boot has the sock like collar. Hight cut boots have them. Low cuts don't. The phantom gx is low cut and the luna is high cut. The high cuts are extremely hard to get into so they are always worse than the low cuts

[@DD-jx9jd]

Josh would you recommend the ag soleplate for 2g/3g turf

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

I don’t love it on a super shallow playing surface since the studs are still on the longer side. It’s not that you couldn’t wear them, they’re just not ideal if you’re buying boots specifically for that type of playing surface.

[@tn7328]

I've used them for 2g/3g, I think they're fine. Maybe could do with a few more studs to relieve pressure but wasn't unusable

[@tuanfinland]

Are the soleplates bend the same way or the ag is stiffer?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

The AG model is less stiff than the FG version.

[@trampyfn5307]

How to keep them white?

[@nahyarr]

possible to change my FG studs to AG by sewing or any other methods? is it recommended?

[@muhammadhazarul]

If you have a nike ag boot lying around, i’d say convert it, but dont stitch it, it’ll ruin the fit and feel of the boot

[@nahyarr]

@@muhammadhazarul how to convert by not stitching? i dont get it, pls enlighten me

[@kubicix1265]

AG looks better. I don't know why but it looks like something is off with luna sole plate shape

[@leonlokonjones]

fit in the SG Pro? As it uses the tiempo SG pro soleplate?

[@npc2k]

Do i need to go half a size down for this?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

Nope, true to size 👍

[@Hoangsiuvlog]

I like ag

[@GKgoalkeeping]

I love how Nike have just abandoned the whole “the vortex stud pattern is to reduce ACL injury in female players”, almost as if that was a completely unfounded claim or something……

[@khoroshsabzi]

Is this a good boot for flat footed/wide footed players?

[@j222lian]

They're definitely a wider fit, like the Phantom GX 1.

[@khoroshsabzi]

@@j222lian Any idea if the Mizuno Morelia Neo 3 are more narrow or wider than the Phantoms?

[@AndreeRosaa]

Getting some T90 vibes

[@fpssaint]

If i have thin and flat feet do you think i could go half size down and be ok even though its a wide boot?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

I think they’ll work for most people. With that said, if you can go half a size down in a pair of boots that run true to size, that’s the size you should probably be wearing. Until you try them on, it’s always hard to say how they’ll fit you specifically.

[@All_About_the_Benjamins]

Get the Vapors instead, they also have them in AG
