Agree with the alpha being number 1. Just does everything right, and for shooting, it's the best feeling boot I've tried. The upper isn't the softest, but that's what makes it great, because it gives the structure and lockdown. And on your feet, it's one of the few boots that just disappears. The best word I can use to describe it is Connected: Connected to the ground, the boot, and the ball. One thing I've found, depending on the colourway, the coating of the upper is slightly different. The main issue I have with the Vapor 16's is that because its so ridiculously soft, there isn't much structure and lockdown. Plus the zoom air, whilst nice and a great experience, you feel higher up off the ground compared to other boots. The Puma Ultra's, I don't know, they just don't feel special. They don't feel as snug, and I'm just not getting any 'wow' factor from the upper.

The Vapor 16 has been fabulous to me. The way the upper immediately contours to the shape of my foot out of the box makes it a standout. The fit is snug and without distractions, imo one of the best fitting boots that I ever tried from heel to toes. A true second skin and socklike experience. Touch and feel for the ball is superb, comfort and break-in is the best of any Mercurial (and I have had PLENTY of Mercurials on my feet). The underfoot cushioning from the air zoom is strangely smooth, it’s a nice feeling definitely improved upon the Vapor 15s zoom unit that sometimes came off as lumpy. It’s quickly become a favorite of mine. I dare say it’s the best knitted Mercurial ever, including the epic Flyknit Ultra. Maybe I’m still blinded by the novelty of a new boot, but I’m beginning to doubt that to be the case. Every time I slip them on it’s an “aww yeah” type of feeling.
@unisport4 ай бұрын
Couldn't agree more - it's a phenomenal boot in my book too. I'm with you in saying it might be the best knitted Merc ever. Or, at least, it's the 16 or the 13 for me. I just think that as a SPEED boot, the tooling is lacking a little stiffness in the forefoot and the upper could do with a bit more lockdown to help with the responsive sensation as you push off. From a more general, holistic point of view though, it's definitely one of the best new boots of the year for me - alongside the F50 Elite Messi and Sokito Scudetta. /Jay

Jay, doesn’t it seem crazy that none of these boots come even close to how light previous speed boot generations were? Such as the 2014-15 adidas F50 that were around 150 grams. Or even the 2011 adidas prime which were closer to 140 grams? This generation of speed boots feels notably heavier to me and personally does impact how light and mobile I feel.
