I've had both and definitely prefer the copa mundial's. They were very comfy and lasted ages. The nikes gave me massive foot blisters and the sole starting hanging off after about 10 months. Would not recommend the Nike's.
Daniel Johnson Thanks for letting me know, I have some old Tiempo's and front glue of the boot is starting to give up. I'm going for the Mundials next month I think.
I still have a pair of Ronaldinho 10rs and at almost 10 years old they are still some of the best cleats I've ever used. Based off that I went with the Premier's and I'm expecting good things. Though I love the classic look of the adidas
The reason why Copas have been so succesfull is that there haven't been "upgrades" or changes.It is still a bestseller. The slighty "heavier" copas do not affect speed..it is a question of feel. Nothing beats the comfort/durability of copas
Thanks for this review, although it being 2,5 years old :) I just bought a pair of Premier's (blue/white limited). And you are right on the money! Loving them already. First pair of Nike cleats ever. They give me such a throwback feeling although it's a modern cut shoe. Prefer them over my 'leather' 2015 F50's. (weird comparison I know, but I wanted real leather shoes next to a synthetic pair) This just gives you pure comfort. Nice addition to my collection.
+Tom Cutler played my first game on them this weekend. Performed as expected: extremely comfortable but very much a modern cut boot. Good feeling overall. As a midfielder i would wear them everytime. But im an attacker, so gonnna cycle between this ones and synthetic. (when I want a barefoot feel)
I have Copas and you can play with them in any weather wet, snow, dry the copa is the perfect boot I also play with a Adidas F50 but I always wear them from time to time and they are perfect
Great review, thanks, and dead on about sizing. Despite years hearing about the Copa, I held off because it just felt too clunky. The Premier seems the best of both worlds: classic leather boot, lighter with modern details, and no BS colors/graphics. Just got a pair so can't honestly review the play-ability but the fit and feel out of the box is really nice.
Great Vid Josh. Put things into perspective nicely. Will the Nike Premier come out with other stud patterns, SG and AG? Or is it just this stock standard layout?
I have used them both and there are a couple of differences: The leather on the cola is much thicker than that of the nike premier. The last of the premier is better than that of the copa in my opinion. I personally think the Premiers are better because i have anything but wide feet, so the last of the Premiers made it for me. I really enjoy them. So for me the Premiers are a little bit better.
I heard you mentioned that the copas are good for turf. What about the premieres? Ion going to college and I have the 11pro's which obviously aren't the best for turf and I'm not too find of the idea of having turf shoes for turn. I like have spikes. Are the premieres also a good choice if I wanna play on turf? @vuvojosh
If the Premiers retailed at $150 and came with a string bag, they would be everyone's favorites. I do like the fact that the Copas are a German made product and they are more durable, but they are 25% heavier and 25% more expensive. I would rather play in the premiers tho. I Train in the Premiers... Play in the Legend. My Copas don't make it out of the closet too much anymore, and when they do, they go back in for a while.
I started with Mundials, now I have lots of boots but I always get another pair of Mundials for every size shoe I go up :) then give my old ones to shelters
Its still amazing how well built the copas are till this day, but id get nike premier. Josh you are 100% correct. weight is now a standard element on weather or not someone will buy a pair of cleats and over all i think the nike premier will out sell the copas just because of that
The copas are just better bro. The premieres don't last nearly as long. Wouldn't recommend. Also the leather is super thin compared to the copas. Which helps if you ever get stepped on. Copas are the one
hi josh, is it ok to remove the insoles of the copas? i need a more supportive insole so should i remove the old ones or put the new ones over the top?
I personally have the Copas and i have really wide feet and they are very comfortable to me, but the Premiere also look very promising so it's really what you prefer.
Hi, It is an old video, but maybe you can see my message. I found these premier 1 models with a great price somewhere. I wonder, If I can wear those on AG pitch? What do you think?
Hey josh, random question. Why did you opt for taking the tongue off vs just tucking it underneath the laces? Wondering because I have a pair of copas and have thought of modifying them but I'm wondering if its worth it over just tucking the tongue in.
Hey Josh, I'm really torn between these two types of boots on which to buy. I know that the leather on both boots are exceptional and I don't doubt that I'd be happy with either. However I am not a footballer, I am a rugby player, so I would be purchasing in SG type sole. My understanding is that the only real difference is that the Premier's have a more modern/ light feel to them than the Copas (or World Cup's as they're called in SG type). Does this mean that the World Cup's will feel slightly heavy/ sluggish when they're used in wet conditions, given that the leather is thicker and will absorb more water? I'm veering towards the Adidas because they seem like they'd be more durable, but it'd be great to hear your advice Thanks.
Hey josh! I think a review you should do would be to to a comparison of different leathers and stuuf, like the differences between goat leather, kangaroo leather, calfskin leather, and like all the different types
I have the Copa Mundials and their great!!! My only problems were the soleplate and the upper ripped and their a little heavy. But everything else is great!!!
hey josh, i have copa mundials that are size 9 and after a few times i wore it, the fit now is a bit loose. im thinking of buying the nike premiers, what size should i get according to my previous boot. i just dont want it too stretch alot like my copas. i hear everybody saying the premiers sizing runs small. I tried on premiers size 9.5 its a bit tight from out of the box, but yet again 10 is like the same thing its just a little less tight than 9.5.. im confused can you help me out. im regularly a size 9.5 or 10 depends on the shoe really. What your suggestions please hellppp.
I have a wide foot, I purchased a pair of indoor nike hypervenoms and my foot hangs off the sides and I end up wearing out the outside edges and almost falling off the soleplate of the shoe. Which would be better for someone with wider feet like me? I can't trust the soccer stores in my city, since they had no clue how to properly size my shoes. I was going to go with the copa mundial but you mentioned that the nike premier has a wider last, so would the premier better suit my needs? Also is there an indoor version as well? Thanks! Your videos help tremendously.
Hi Josh, Can you please tell me which is the best boot for wider feet? I know both are pretty decent, but looking at the sole on the Nike Premier, it's quite slimmer than the Mundials, so you'd expect the Mundials to be better right?
Mundial is just so classic, nothing flashy, but anyone looks good in it and has top quality.
You missed the the puma kings
I've had both and definitely prefer the copa mundial's. They were very comfy and lasted ages. The nikes gave me massive foot blisters and the sole starting hanging off after about 10 months. Would not recommend the Nike's.
You'd better be glad that any shoe would last you ten months! Most shoes aren't supposed last 5 months.
you dont know how to break in boots
Daniel Johnson Thanks for letting me know, I have some old Tiempo's and front glue of the boot is starting to give up.
I'm going for the Mundials next month I think.
+Ace Killer8 how... my preds have lasted for 1.5 years and my ace have lasted a couple months and have no stress marks
Well Duh they are predators..? and im refering to nike boots when I say they dont last long. 10 months for a boot is very good.
I still have a pair of Ronaldinho 10rs and at almost 10 years old they are still some of the best cleats I've ever used. Based off that I went with the Premier's and I'm expecting good things. Though I love the classic look of the adidas

Actually there was Around 1992
The heelcap was made longer
I owned premiers for a year and they completely ripped at the soul of my non dominant foot. Now I'm trying to buy some Copa's
+personal note: I did like those premiers ALOT tho while they lasted, (total lifespan for me was a year).
Years later but I’ve had a pair of copas for 9 years and they’re still awesome.
Thanks for this review, although it being 2,5 years old :)
I just bought a pair of Premier's (blue/white limited). And you are right on the money! Loving them already. First pair of Nike cleats ever.

@Frank.K I might buy the White and black limited boot are the premiers any good
+Tom Cutler played my first game on them this weekend. Performed as expected: extremely comfortable but very much a modern cut boot. Good feeling overall. As a midfielder i would wear them everytime. But im an attacker, so gonnna cycle between this ones and synthetic. (when I want a barefoot feel)
The Copa looks so much nicer on foot but the overall characteristics of the Premier make it a much more attractive boot to buy, imo
Nike Premier. Not a fan of the stitch pattern, but I really want to try the up to date "historical" boot with the modern update.
I’m watching this in 2018 😂
Bob Bankins. Me in 2019
I win
Zach Pace no me
abhijeet wahla u sure?
lol
I have Copas and you can play with them in any weather wet, snow, dry the copa is the perfect boot I also play with a Adidas F50 but I always wear them from time to time and they are perfect
Every boot you have , you will think it is perfect.
Copa is way better
The leather on the Premier looks beautiful
Great review, thanks, and dead on about sizing. Despite years hearing about the Copa, I held off because it just felt too clunky. The Premier seems the best of both worlds: classic leather boot, lighter with modern details, and no BS colors/graphics. Just got a pair so can't honestly review the play-ability but the fit and feel out of the box is really nice.
Really helped me decide what boots I wanted next , keep up the great work !
what is your choice ?
Great Vid Josh. Put things into perspective nicely. Will the Nike Premier come out with other stud patterns, SG and AG? Or is it just this stock standard layout?
I have used them both and there are a couple of differences:
The leather on the cola is much thicker than that of the nike premier.

I personally think the Premiers are better because i have anything but wide feet, so the last of the Premiers made it for me. I really enjoy them. So for me the Premiers are a little bit better.
great videos. i like how you are so calm when you are talking in the videos.
Hi everyone! I would get the Adidas Copa Mundial but nothing wrong with the Nike Premier. Hands down would get them both.
USANA Athlete
Both cleats are awesome. But Copa is pure class, so, yes, Copa for me ;)
their is a reason the copas have been around for so long. they're arguably the best boot of all time
I have both and i Love the copa mundials a lot more!
No offense, but why would you change something that isn't broken?
I have the premiers! So amazing! And perfect leather for perfect touch!
great video. a bit off topic but how do you feel the premier compares to the asics x-fly k?
I heard you mentioned that the copas are good for turf. What about the premieres? Ion going to college and I have the 11pro's which obviously aren't the best for turf and I'm not too find of the idea of having turf shoes for turn. I like have spikes. Are the premieres also a good choice if I wanna play on turf? @vuvojosh
but the copa are made in germany while premier in vietnam. thats why i bought the copas and plus copas look OG
Hi Josh. From right out of the box, which do you think would fit wider? The Nike Premier or the Nike CTR360 Maestri III?
If the Premiers retailed at $150 and came with a string bag, they would be everyone's favorites. I do like the fact that the Copas are a German made product and they are more durable, but they are 25% heavier and 25% more expensive. I would rather play in the premiers tho.

Trey Newton shut up m8,
Stop dissing my m8 Mr. Copa
Hey Vujojosh I bought some new Premiers, and was wondering if I put my leather food before or after breaking them in
hey josh so does kangaroo leather comes from anactuall kangroo leather?
Great comparison, I'm just curious, do the Nike premier come in a soft ground version?
If these coming out in AG I will definitely be getting them
I started with Mundials, now I have lots of boots but I always get another pair of Mundials for every size shoe I go up :) then give my old ones to shelters
Hey josh ,
How do you think is a proper way to tie the cops mundial that it can be tight and comfortable for a great control and shot power ?
Keven Figueroa Watch this video czcams.com/video/fXpBraljD5g/video.html

The copas are just better bro. The premieres don't last nearly as long. Wouldn't recommend. Also the leather is super thin compared to the copas. Which helps if you ever get stepped on. Copas are the one
Hey Josh, Is the Leather on the Premier thicker than the leather on the Speciali 4?
i've got a large toe, so i always get blisters on my big toe.
Do the premiers have a big toe box like the copas?
hi josh, is it ok to remove the insoles of the copas? i need a more supportive insole so should i remove the old ones or put the new ones over the top?
I honestly don't know how you don't have more subscribers....
anyways which shoe would you recommend more for really wide feet?
the Copa mundial
I personally have the Copas and i have really wide feet and they are very comfortable to me, but the Premiere also look very promising so it's really what you prefer.
The Nike Premier is a nice boot, but it doesn't have the class or the history of the Copa Mundials
Copa mundial are more better if u want a power shot
I love your videos, keep it up
josh do you know if nike have plans on releasing the tiempo premier in sg?
I removed the sole on my copa's not knowing that it wasn't supposed to come off. It actually came off pretty easy.
Congrats on the 40k Subscribers Josh :D
Both pairs have been great for my refereeing endeavours
Hi, It is an old video, but maybe you can see my message. I found these premier 1 models with a great price somewhere. I wonder, If I can wear those on AG pitch? What do you think?
Great vid josh
Hey josh, random question. Why did you opt for taking the tongue off vs just tucking it underneath the laces? Wondering because I have a pair of copas and have thought of modifying them but I'm wondering if its worth it over just tucking the tongue in.
timberswiss3 It just eliminates a little bit of extra bulk across the top of your foot. Just a personal preference thing really.
Nike lasts a year, adidas many years.

Thanks.
fazer990 The Copa is just a heavier shoe in general, but I would give it the edge as far as durability is concerned. It's your call.
hey josh what would be your pick between copas , premiers ( 2013 version) and legend 6 ? considering all have the same price tag !!
Of that bunch, I like the Legends the best.
Hey josh! I think a review you should do would be to to a comparison of different leathers and stuuf, like the differences between goat leather, kangaroo leather, calfskin leather, and like all the different types
Again a goos video man! Keep it up!
hey vujojosh i've been thinking about getting trusox but was wondering if they would be a way to replace wearing double socks
Can u do a review on wich cleats are the best for a goalie to use???? Thanks
2019 anyone?
I have the Copa Mundials and their great!!! My only problems were the soleplate and the upper ripped and their a little heavy. But everything else is great!!!
hey josh, i have copa mundials that are size 9 and after a few times i wore it, the fit now is a bit loose. im thinking of buying the nike premiers, what size should i get according to my previous boot. i just dont want it too stretch alot like my copas. i hear everybody saying the premiers sizing runs small.

+MadJDMTurboBoost There's no indoor version of the Premier. I would take a look at the Adidas Copa Indoor.
Hi Josh, which boot is more durable? The premier or copa mundial?
I would expect the Copas to last longer.
Just the video I wanted!!!! Can't decide which one to get!!!!
Can you make a comparison video of the Premier and the King Finale?
do you know when they come out in the UK???
Hi Josh,
Can you please tell me which is the best boot for wider feet? I know both are pretty decent, but looking at the sole on the Nike Premier, it's quite slimmer than the Mundials, so you'd expect the Mundials to be better right?
Dylan Townsend The Copas will be wider.
Thank you so much for replying, you've really helped me there thanks! :)
Great Review!!
Are you going to do the play test of the CTR360 Maestri III?
do a comparison vid of the Nike Premier and Nike Tiempo Legend 4
Which are better for people with a wider foot?
Would you prefer Nike premier or Victory Vi ? I'm worried that the traction of the premier won't be as good as the victory Vi what do you think ?
The Premier is a much better quality shoe. They're entirely different though.
could you do a comparison video on the copa mundial and puma king top di firm ground
So whatever happened to the Nike GS line? I know they were a concept, so were they just disregarded?
Could you make a vide showing how to fix a flat soccer ball?(if you know how)
i keep on getting grass and dirt stuck in the front of my tiempos, will this make the leather rip off the sole plate?
Would you get the same size for premier as you had for copa or would you get a different size? Ex: Copa 5 1/2 would you get a 5 1/2 in Nike Premier?
Can u please make more videos about Copa mundial cleats
June 2017!
diego maradona wore copas thats worth something
Josh, will there be a ag model from nike premier?
Top vid. Subscribed.
which are better i need a pair?
if you are a good soccer player you dont worry about weight..just for the people that think lighter soccer shoes will make them faster.
It would be awesome if they came out with classy color ways with the premier
hey josh, is there a difference between the copa mundial and the world cup boots? other than the sole plate?
The uppers are pretty well the same.
Soccer Reviews For You how about sizing? Apparnelty they are different?
how do you compare the mizuno morelia II mij to those two?
If money is not a concern which one would you go for?
The Morelia is what I would describe as the middle ground between the Premier and the Copa. I'm a big fan of the Morelias.
Copa Mundial over Nike Premier any day! Can't beat the classic look, especially in the limited "White" edition!
would the nike premiere be better than the tiempo ledgends?
do a overall review on addidas vs nike football gear
Can you do a review of the Hummel Roma vintage boots please!
can you do a review on premier vs gloro..? I'm thinking of buying one of them but I'm not sure yet
+Abisai Hernandez Possibly. Although I will say that I personally think the Premier is the better quality shoe.
Which one do you prefer josh?
Finley Camille The Premier, I mention that in the video.
I agree, that would be the absolutely perfect boot for me since I'm an adidas fan boy.
As for the sizing, did you have to go down a size for the Premier?
olympia The Premiers actually run half a size small. I talk about that in the video.
Evospeed leather, adizero leather and nike mercurial leather finish or synthetic comparisom for all these new speeds and their differences
How does the Adidas Gloro 16.1 FG compare to these two??!
They're not as good in my opinion.
Got a nike premier I, I won't lie its the best boot I have ever worn hands down .will try but the copa mundial to compare
can you do a comparison on the copas and the puma king top di
amazing shoe, would be cool if the came out with a red or blue clorway like the diadoras from the mid 90's.
good vid but why would u wanna remove the tongue thats what makes the boot so classic and vintage because you dont get them anymore
