    If you're into football boots, than you'll definitely have noticed that it has become a bit of a trend amongst the younger generation of pro footballers to rock older boots! Why are they doing this, and perhaps even more importantly, should you?

    Football boots from 2014-2018/19 are just elite

  • @BEL19VE13
    @BEL19VE13 Před rokem +22

    My theory is the players find a boot with fit and touch that is unmatched for them, and if newer models can't top it they will revert to their "old reliable". Fit is everything for the top players and some will sacrifice weight or new tech to get it. I imagine the next revolution in tech will be boots custom built - sole plate, stud patter, upper - to the geometry of individual players.

    I've had a pair of tiempo legend 4s in my boot rotation for over 10 years now. If I ever spot a pair on the resale market, I think I'd risk it and pull the trigger. They're just so good, to me

    You hit the nail on the head with the over inflated resale prices. I got a brand new pair of the Hypervenom Phantom in the 2014 World Cup colourway for £80 back in 2016. I’d now have to pay £250+ for the exact same pair!

Both of which i have had for 20 years . I just cannot bring myself to take to the football pitch in boots that would be better suited to appearing on strictly come dancing. That is just my view , Im sure people love the newer boots but im just a dinosaur that survived the Comet strike. Very entertaining and informative program you post. Keep it up. Best,Gerry.

      the models that you mentioned are durable and comfortable. Lots of young people are discovering it now. And honestly weight of football shoes are not really that important for adults - so no real advantage in new models.

      There's definite value to OG Hypervenoms, but I'm not sure that $700, especially if they're used, is a realistic value. Understand that "asking prices" are just that, and not necessarily a true determination of real value. In other words, I don't think there's an active market of people paying that much for boots.

    Old vintage football boots are better than the modern football boots ! I wish I could purchase the Blue mercurial Talaria boots !!

    Good to see,A pair of boots worth 1k to Auba is nothing to have fun in without a contract

    The materials are shit now...football cleats used to be amazing, Kleather supple w nice weight behind em for a rocket shot, now evrythings crappy tpu and some composite fo plastic materials that crack the plate after 1-2 hard szns.

    The only reason I’d wear older models (mercurial fan) is that the newer designs are horrid, imo. Superfly 5 was ugly, 6 was ugly (except for the ones that had the swoosh on the sides only and not the toe box), vapor 13s were sweet. Not a fan of 14 and 15s. If 14s didn’t have the translucent upper and the ‘speed wing’, they would’ve looked nice, even 15s could’ve looked nice if they didn’t have that huge ass air branding on the inside.

    The newer models look terrible and for a casual player leather boots are harder to find I get it lighter is better for pros but I miss the older ones.
