Jankem, zippers on boots are actually genius because the ugliness of the boot distracts goalkeepers
This is epic lmao
Omg😂😂😂
I used to wear them as a keeper they were quite practical, as the laces would NEVER get loose, and lacing your shoes mid match with gloves on is impossible
Guillermo Fernandez Same, they are pretty good from a goalkeeper’s perspective.
QuestionMyDecisions hhaha
I remember owning a pair of F50.8s and losing a hard ground stud on an ag field and finding it a few months later when we played another match there lol
@@leatherandy why the hostility like why r u mad is just some words dude chill m8
@@nordickalewis3470 i am always chilled
Gavin star shut up nigga
😂 every once in a while we will find one or two of the studs at our practice field
8:13 I legit thought it was a stud less boot and was like yeah that’s definitely a fail 😂
2006-2015- Terrible tech amazing designs.
2015-2018- Great Tech terrible designs
terrible designs? okay then
2018: good design and good tech I can't think of any really bad designs.
Nothing beats the old adidas designs. They’re sooo sexy idk why 😍😍😍
But Flyknit was 2014
example that supports OP's statement (in my opinion - of course, this is all opinion): the hypervenom 2 graphic design and colorways, both before and after they changed the upper. it was like the worst elements of the 80's done in a really shit way. one for adidas: the x 15 design never really won me over either, but i did like some of the colorways... i guess. the orange primeknit x 15+ was the best, in my opinion.
Some jokes lose their purpose after hearing them too many times. But the *ZIPPER BOOT* never gets old. Keep up the good work Jedi.
top 5 most overpriced boots, can you make a video of that?
First 3 superflys, balenciaga boots and Gucci and YEEZY
You must have been very rich! When I was young, I played football bare footed.
pretty sure he wasn't very rich if he had to work in a football store back then
robert dean To be fair, I’m not being that serious.
However people can be very rich and still work in football stores, personally I want to work with plumbers, electricians, etc, because I’ll like to know learn and have more understanding. Secondly, others work in places that strengthens their hobbies, for example, I love super cars, football etc, I would love to work at F1 races and champion league finals, that means I can see or if I’m lucky touch an F1 car and see Lewis Hamilton or shake hands with Ronaldinho, fat Ronald, Ronaldo, Messi, Jay Jay Okocha etc.
Thirdly, did you hear how much he spent on boots?!😳! and what he wore as a young lad? Jesus, that’s rich to me.
All in all, it’s because he have all these experiences that he can advice us today.
So I wish I could, I would have been his friend to borrow some of his boot to play 😂🤣😂🤣
In fact, I don’t mind if he sends me a nice pair of boots now!
Send me one please! I want to show boat when COVID-19 is over and we are back to playing footie.
Great video by man. Keep it up.
I watch your videos then go and talk to my mates about boots, like I’m an expert 🤣😂🤣😂
More videos please.
Same
I have boots and use em in matches but I like playing on my feat in unofficial matches
A kid wouldn't have as much money as an adult
*I currently have a stomach ache and nausea, and my nausea got worse when I saw **_"the zipper boot"._** Thanks, UA.*
My predator absolutes were defiantly one of my favorite cleats I had growing up. I owned the shiny marron Beckhams. Such a killer cleat!
Adidas used tungsten because of it's high melting point... because my game was fire...
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The pure disappointment face tho lmao
The og predators... Beckham / zidane era 👌🔥🔥🔥
Those powerswerves are the best boots I have ever owned. Absolutely sublime first touch on the ball and incredible control during passing and punts. The extra weight may not have helped most but for a goalkeeper like me it was very noticeable. I wish I could buy them again because I would still wear them. I have my AdiPure 11Pro's now which are awesome but they aren't my powerswerves :(
Personally as left foot forward player, I genuinely could put a great deal of swazz on the ball from a dead-ball kick. Only really got issues when not opening the face of the foot to the ball when hitting it up the line if I failed to check my run slightly. I enjoyed playing in them. That said, as we all know, they could be divers lead boots. It's what you feel comfortable in and how you feel wearing them.
just found your channel again after a couple years and i’m so glad
Good for you Josh. Big improvement since I last seen this channel a few years ago. Nice job!
The F50/Carbon Superfly's were my Childhood. So your telling me they lied to me???
They were also my childhood, but unfortunately that doesn't make them good. The Vapor 4 SL is truly one of my favorite boots of all-time, but they're still a fail.
Those were my favorites too!!
i feel hurt that he thinks these are a fail
all brands lie you genious, wake up!!!!
Did anyone notice that on press release superfly 4 there’s a little plug where the laces go at the top of the foot but on the actual release there isn’t a hole at all
Should've put Lotto's "twist n' go technology" in the list 😂
BOOTBANTER I had a pair! Thought I was so cool 😎 I actually liked them so much that when the stud eventually broke off I bought the lotto model without the twisting stud, the Zhero Mito Due.
BOOTBANTER thats the only reason why i watched this, to see if it was here
I had a feeling that the zipper shoe was gonna show up
Hey man, me at 15 years old felt that 5% extra power from my predators
my problem with the superfly was that the heel studs fell of XD
what blows my mind is that growing up, all these boots where what I wanted but never got...
Probably the funniest video you've made IMO...laughed so hard the whole time.
I've been liking every video of yours that u made in the past 5 months.
How did I get through 15 minutes of this XD I don't even play football haha
talks about technology, design, marketing... is interesting from some other points of view
I got the evospeed freshes after they released for$150, but I was scared to use them intensely as they were my first top end boots and they were super light, would be interested to retry the evospeed sl-s.
My blue and silver Powerswerves back in 7th grade were the first top-tier boots I ever owned. Nothing like the Hypervenom Phinish 2.1s that I play in now, but I will always keep them and cherish them
3:18 i had those pumas when i was playing soccer in high school. They didn't last very long. they ripped from the bottom. another horrible thing is that when you get stepped on, it hurt so incredibly bad. Another thing was that when i kicked the ball, it started to hurt. it was like smacking barefooted the ball.
I was waiting for you to include powerpulse technology in one of your videos. Have you done one including the Nike Mercurial Superfly III with the "extendable" studs? That really seems like a failed tech.
those blue f50 tunits bring back so many memories. Lost a few studs, had a few screws go into my sole causing great pain. Most expensive thing that ended up in the rubbish bin.... Sadly my favourite brands of this era are no longer available Nomis and Valsport
Those predators on the top left, the red white and blue ones. Gosh. So sick.
I’ve got the pearl white Nike Mercurial from 2002-2003 and they’re still my fav boot hands down
ohh man I miss my F50 with the Argentina Uppers! yes the system had flaws but I think this idea needs to be revisited!
I've come back after a while I see you've stopped calling the cleats
I Like The Tech-fit X That Gareth Bale Wore They Are Really Good For Passing And They Are Light So It Makes You Shoot Better.
My friend used to wear f50.6s and I made fun of him. ( at the time I didn’t even play soccer, I just knew they were bad )
I actually loved my TUNIT’s. Had the Leather upper with blue accents. I used the ag studs on turf fields. Good times... good times. Still have my collection of uppers, however the chasis would always get screwed up after a couple months.
Had 3 of these. Tunit’s (both) were class, so were the vapour SL’s. Never ever cracked the carbon fibre on the bottom either. The pred’s were unreal as well, especially the Champions League ones. The Predator didn’t have to be heavier, it came with 3 different insoles
Liked the vid just because of the Zipper boots, Jurgen.
Oh god I had those exact blue F50 tunit boots, yeah, they definitely should be on this list, everything you say about them I experienced. They weren’t comfortable, the velcro tongue was just awkward, screwing the studs in was a massive pain in the ass and I lost studs til I eventually didn’t have enough studs left to actually be able to play and I just gave up on the things. It was super easy to strip the screws which basically rendered them useless and the little wrench they gave you was made of plastic and was super awkward when trying to actually screw the studs in because the things just kept popping out the wrench.
I still have a pair of Tunits! I can't even tell you how long I had them. I bought extra chasis plates, and just used the studs, over, and over. A few broke here and there, but they lasted forever. The warning was simply to NOT overtighten. I thought it was a great concept, but Adidas gave up on it. People were buying chasis and not the full boot.
I'm not a soccer player but I love sports technology so thank you for giving me a better look at soccer
I personally loved the F50 custom kits! I had a bunch of the limited edition upper soles from the 2006 World Cup!
One of the main problems I found with them, which he didn’t mention (but which was a huge problem here in the UK!), was that they weren’t waterproof.
Any moisture on the pitch would seep in to the boot through the stud holes in the “upper”.
My socks would be absolutely soaked within minutes.
@@TPRM1 lol! That's a massive fail
@@bazzaip2698 Ikr?
I didn't know about the change in powerpulse until this video 😂
The puma evo speed i love it.. had like 3 of em.. the material gets torn open by other players studs
I agree with everything you said about the F50 tunnit. What made it worse for me was that I loved the original F50s and the F50+!
I will never forgot my first carbon fibre sole plate on the superfly 4 and mine cracked after 3 matches
I had the f50.8 tunit for my last few seasons and they were by far my favorite boot. Never lost a stud or anything, I did however take all the studs out and cleaned the studs and boots after every use so maybe that’s why.
That zip cover is actually a great idea. Maybe not for soccer boots but for mountain bike shoes for winter enduro or downhill is actually a great idea.
The f-50.6 were great. I played at the highest level in the US from age 11 through my senior year at a division 1 college. Never had issues with these boots they were tough and got the job done for a year and a half. How much more can you ask for. My copas had to be replaced every year.
Is stitching the sole of Puma suggestion good before using? Juat aaking..
I don't think Under Armor makes ANY sporting gear - outside of their apparel. They just license the name.
Most companies don’t even manufacture their own products. They outsource production to outside factories. Under Armor just like Nike, Adidas and others simply design & prototype products in-house.
I didn't know that technology was in adidas predator 2007 until now. But that boot is my favourite football boot of all time.
Had the Puma 1.4 SL for a couple games after my old ones broke during a youth tournament. My parents just went and bought the only Pumas the store had without realizing the poor durability. I didn't realize until after a few games either but we did manage to make the store take them back because no one had told us that they were not meant to last for long.
Anyway they sure were the best shoes I've ever had in a game, can't really describe the feeling but it really was like not wearing shoes but still having all the benefits
I had Adidas F50s and the soles were rock hard and completely flat but you never got badly hurt by getting stepped on. Now, boots form to your foot nicely, but you can't caress the ball and it feels like your foot has a hole right through the middle of it when you get stepped on. Need some give and take. Not found a balanced boot for a long time.
You can say all you want about the spotlight 2.0 but they are good cleats for kicking field goals and they are really light
Conpared to hockey the price isn't bad ... I played AAA all my high school days and always loved the f50 even when I was losing a stud lmao I still use newer f50 shoes to this day. Played in predator a while too
I had the Puma Evospeed 1.4 SL and they are great!
Found the Evospeed SLs in a different colorway at an Puma outlet a couple of weeks ago. Was interesting to hold a pair in person, it was literally like holding paper. They weren't my size and they were still selling them $50 so I didnt buy them , but maybe I'll go back and buy them for shits and giggles if I see them again.
i loved those predator absolute i was rocking a red and white pair in college in 2013. i would wear them again rn. those power pulse rubber insoles would crack though. love um
Bruh, I had a pair of F50 tunits for like 4 years, if the sole hadn't separated from the upper then i'd still be using them now.
Superfly 4 are the nicest looking boots to ever be released (at least the outer sole is)
I would love to see a remade, better, modern version of the f50 tunit, since it’s still a good idea with the studs
I started off with the Mondel, then ADIDAS Maradonna, the finished my final 6 years playing in ADIDAS Predator's on my boot deal. Now I get the new Pred's for free as a coach as I wear them in the technical area on match days, with the rep giving me a new pair if they know we will be shown on TV highlights or get to the 3rd round of the FA Cup.
While I never fell for "Power Pulse", it's more for the kids. Those playing Park Football are better off with the heavier boot and leather upper, plus a more robust sole for protection.
Don't you think there's a connection between boots getting lighter and more Metatarsal breaks?
The things I would do for the Nike lasers in the background. My favorite boot of all time.
quite interesting thing is Indonesian brand Specs has released a boot with carbon fibre outsole for around 72 US dollars, which is astonishing (although it's still the most expensive football boots made by any Indonesian local brands)
Hello Jürgen! Just to let you know: On current generation SG adidas boots there is the exact same message on the soleplate as on the F50.6 Tunit. So they still haven‘t changed that
What about the Reebok swirl pattern instead of studs?? That was crazy
Loved my predator absolute!! You do get the non weighted insole too. Best boots ever!
Younger player
if the ball hit the metal zipper with enough force it could hurt quiet a lot
Zidane's all gold Predator Absolute in the World Cup was a thing of beauty.
Adidas tried to implement old tech. I had interchangeable studs in the seventies
The Zippershoes are GREAT for Goalkeepers! I used to wear them and I loved it! And actually, if the Zipper would fit, I would make a model without any laces at all! Just for the keepers! Id brand them as something like that. And the F50 was an awesome looking shoe :D (Looks is EVERYTHING!)
I used to have the first F-50 TuneIt. Luckily I broke on my way to a game while changing studs in a moving car. Best idea ever😂😎😜. I turned them in and got a pair Predators as the replacement👌🏽
i get that it's easier to read from the prompter, but it gets very uncomfortable, very fast when the guy seems to be looking past your shoulder for the whole video.
The f50.8 was one of my fav. Had amazing feel to the ball and grip was good too, by far one of my fav
1. T1emp0 legends
2. F50.8
3. CTR iii/predator X
Young playee
I had the rugby version of the preds and they’re still the best boot I’ve ever had.
Also in those versions the power pulse was transparent and it was a powder.
If I’m not mistaken the power pulse first came out on the predator pulse
I like heavier boots, as a defender I want to put full power on my tackles.
The zipper on the under armour boot is to protect the laces and stop them getting tangled up when tackling opponents which happens more than you think.
I switched from lightweight pumas to adidas when the sole of my puma boot split down the middle of the shoe (lengthwise!) after 2 months. They were horrible quality-wise
The translucent powerpulse window underneath the Adidas predator was also prone to cracking after a while.
I had a few pairs of Absolutes and never had that happen.
@@Soccerreviewsforyou Could have just been mine though, I did use the weighted insoles and played mostly on soft real grass surfaces. Had 2 pairs of them crack on me, one was the refunded pair for the first one. Nice video though, brings back memories..
I guess I'm crazy, because I had a later generation tunit and loved them. I never lost a stud, still have the full sets of all studs, albeit I only ever played with the soft ground set.
Can you still do the interchangeable thing with models that are out now? Like if you bought TPU studs and replaced SG studs on any adidas cleat
That's a very different, much more simple and solid system. Also, those studs are not meant or designed to be swapped out with plastic ones. The only reason they're removable is so you can replace them once they wear down, which will happen given that they're made from a softer metal.
That yung copa in the top left👌👌👌
I had predators but the special rugby ones they're my favourite boots ever..
The puma ones (retail $299 CAD) are like $49 at a local sports store in Toronto. They’re literally paper
Hey Josh. My nike tiempo legend elite boots just cracked at the exact same spot as you said the vapor 4 SL's would do. Is this a common thing?
If it's going to crack, that's typically the spot wear it happens. Age would be a factor at this point as well.
@SR4U did you ever hear of the Diadora Morpho? It was similar to the TUNIT but about 5 years prior. (I'm a bit older than you I think).
Adding the usar next to the name will be great to understand the time period
6:23 might be very useful for defence. Like the players in the back or the goalie
When I played American football Reebok made cleats with a zipper cover over the laces
Power pulse is crazy ballsy marketing. Gotta give em props for that
I had a pair of Nikes with the carbon fiber sole that actually lasted me years, eventually it did break where he said they often do but I had them for ages
I had those F-50.6 in black!!
Great vid, Adam(Josh)
I think the zipper boot is the most revolutionary tech advancement currently in football right now.
I was actually quite satisfied with my f50 tunit, the heavy boot wasn't a huge issue for me, since I've always liked to wear "heavy" boots as a goalie. But I overtigned one of the screws and it destroyed the boot.. I went out and got my self a pair of puma Evo speed. They were just not heavy enough for me. But then I got my self a pair of Copa Mondial.. Best boot ever, and they still work to this day, 7 years after I bought them :)
i always hated the preditor series. i didnt know why but my feelings were resonable
Wow...the revolution has begun, maybe next time they'll make a glass football boots like Disney's Cinderella....lol
Nike did try a fiberglass sole plate after their venture into carbon fiber. It was as stiff and uncomfortable as you are imagining.
What are the bright green Nike boots on the top left side of the shelf? They look great.
Nike Mercurial Vapor 3.
