Just 2 months after what was arguably the most hyped up and impactful football boot endorsement deal ever, it looks like Robert Lewandowski and Raheem Sterling might be following in Neymar's foot steps and leave Nike! Why is everyone leaving Nike? Who will they sign with instead? Is Nike mad? I answer all of these questions and more in today's video. Do you think Nike should let Sterling and Lewandowski go?

Because the phantom GT Came out does that mean that the phantom vsn 2 has been ditched because i haven't seen new ones come out since the GT Came out
Pls reply i rlly want to know cuz I am a vsn 2 person 😂
Who else has noticed how many players puma has picked up over the short offseason. So many players in the top 5 leagues have come back wearing ultras.
The same thing happened with Puma last year in basketball
Puma really leveling up there brand in every sports
@@tristanboivin8882 not just in sport they upgrading their sneaker game
Tbh they really have better shoes and boots than Nike and adidas
@@tristanboivin8882 the quality always been there its about time theyre getting the recognition they deserve
I keep up with boot drama more than any show on Netflix. I can’t get enough
We just can't get enough
Same bro better than any reality show
No one cares kid 🤡
Bet u can’t play the game
Why do you so that
Yeah 2 years ago I left too for adidas but I dont see my mention
Adidas sucks 😂
@@Istaypositive lmao I guess son, Messi, salah and many more suck too💀
@@SaucinFlores1513 boots don’t impact how u play
@@SaucinFlores1513 U stupid?
@@SaucinFlores1513 probably think defenders have to wear tiempos, and any attacker has to wear mercs lol
For Sterling, he tried to sign for nike but he missed the signature spot and accidentally signed a new balance deal

Too much unnecessary dribbling

Federer leaving Nike for Uniqlo was a big one too back in 2019. Even though it wasn't boots but still.
It was unexpected move
It's better that way tbh.
Cool didn’t know that
I respect it. Shows Nike that they can't rely on their name anymore
Federer has investments in Uniqlo so that was expected
Not too long ago, Nike's President or CEO (I forget the title) recently switched from long time OG Mark Parker to the previous top don of eBay. So in addition to the Rona locking everything down, he's coming from the angle of being entirely online and I think this is a trickled-down symptom of that. He's restructuring the internal leadership of the company by dropping out a lot of people at all levels and merging people's roles, so that probably affected a lot of relationships and I'm thinking they may make more of a focus on free online marketing than endorsement deals. Nike do need to inject some excitement into football boots though, because it seems like their market share could slip if other brands are getting extra busy with product and marketing.
Wait what’s chicken connoisseur doing here? My guy yuno😂
What're you doing here?
man lyk
Chicken connoisseur probably plays football in some limited edition af1
Not just a chicken connoisseur but a crep & football boot connoisseur as well, I rate that highly
Anthony Martial is another one who’s leaving Nike. He’s currently wearing all black pumas
No hes not i saw his Insta story of him holding a pair of custom Nike Blm mercurials
Made for him
Who??
@@adz_c3381 that was Rashford
Since switching to Puma he cant score a sensible goal from his foot. those cleats are whack and he should go back to Nike. smh. JMJMJMJM
@@josefmilitant3861 had those on when he was top goal scorer
People forget that Nike became the number 1 football brand with the biggest money move in history, when they bought Umbro.
Back in the days, Umbro was a really big name in the business, probably only second to Adidas.
With this deal Nike got all of Umbros endorsement deals including deals for clubs, national teams and players.
They know exactly what they are doing!
If sterling doesnt like the new phantoms why don’t they switch him back to the superflys or vapors like he wore in liverpool
I don't necessarily think that it's a case of him not liking the Phantom GT, he's just out of contract with Nike, so he has no reason to wear their latest boots. He's only stuck with the Venoms because that was the last boot he was wearing before his contract with Nike ended. Many players like the familiarity of playing in the same boots and only switching when they "have to".
Its not new. "New" sells better.
I miss the old hypervenoms. I feel like nike boots are just becoming tok bland, remember a few years ago there were so many different styles of mercurials, hypervenoms, tiempos etc. Now there are barely any variations. I think i might buy the 2016-18 orange and green hypervenims as my next boots
I loved my orange and black hypervenom high tops, possibly my favorite cleats ever
Hypervenom huh I want the T90s back
i miss the Magistad Not the pimple looking ones the first ones with the Grey wolf/Blue color way or the blue and black color way
Puma are really underrated and now coming back like the old times
Josh I think sterling was seen wearing Puma trainers.....😮 Puma could be having the best year of their existence man.
Isn't man city sponsered by Puma? That could explain the trainers
@@tgch0186 hello, i’m here to explain brian mcloughlin’s joke. so basically Sterling is supposed to have ties with nike. but he was seen wearing a pair of NBs. every athlete wears trainers from the same brand that sponsors the team. brain was simply making fun of the people who say this unironically.
And maybe his Jamaican heritage may come in2 play here
Puma has been doing Collabs with Kidsuper and the clothes are insane espeically the football boots
Is it me or after the Superfly 4 & 5 + the hypervenom (the good one) Nike just lost their hype? I feel like Nike boots are getting worse and worse every year (look wise)
True
They r still good tho quality wise
Facts. I switched to puma king platinum and man it’s a night and day difference. Kings are so damn comfortable. I’ve always been a Nike guy but man the new kings are so clean
@@Riickyrick10 pumas in general are comfortable most of their shoes require little break in time
What quality are you talking about? Nike is all marketing, their boots are made of plastic and sold at ridiculous price points. The best quality line they have is the Tiempos. Everything else is bright colors.
I haven’t watched Josh in years and man did he get big. Arms and channel
many goalkeepers who were under contract with nike recently left nike.... ederson, pickford, matty ryan...
Kyle walker has left nike also I have noticed that ederson has started wearing adidas boots instead of Nike
Ederson’s back in Nike’s now
@@dmur. damn it so close. Mission failed Adidas we will try again next time 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I swear he's wearing Puma now
You know if anyone asks me "why are you even following the world of football boot drama?"
I honestly have no idea why but I love it anyways
It’s just one of the things that makes football, football
I’ve noticed that Puma is slowly signing top rated players wheather if it’s Basketball🏀 or Football⚽️
Football, yes. Basketball, they’re miles off Adidas, let alone Nike!
@@BillyPhilipRwoth signed lamelo ball tbf

Yet they make shit kits for the african continent. Fuck Puma
@@BillyPhilipRwoth they got lamelo and Jcole (yeshe is rapper)

I think zack steffen posted on his story about sterling and how he is enjoying new balance
I stopped wearing Nike years ago due to one simple reason, they’re not comfortable
I'm with you on there
They just don’t fit properly👍🏼
Literally! Plus the fit varies per style. Adidas all the way
Do you have wide feet? I love Nike and they fit me perfectly and my feet are long and narrows. Adidas are too clunky for me personally
Tbh I love Nike but they basically just focus on the mercurial line and all the other lines are trash
Hey man hope you are well!
When other players leave nike: oh wow that's good, awesome
When neymar leave:moneymar
I don't know why people always think like that
Exactly they hate Neymar for no reason
@@legocantbuilditself5034 no, it’s the truth
@@legocantbuilditself5034 he doesnt hit refs wtf he pushed him but not even hard or anything
@@legocantbuilditself5034 thats just not true
Most of them must be barka fans
The only viewers disliked the video probably are from Nike community.
I saw a video on sky sports where Sterling was wearing puma trainers, maybe he’s also signing with puma
R9 to puma he could probably get his own boot which he deserves
It's surprising he hasn't had any signature releases with Nike. There have been a few one-off boots that he wore for a single match, but never anything released to the public.
Why is Adidas not signing any of the Youth? They are losing players too.
Ferran
Did adidas and puma own by the same parent company? It could be the parent company want to focus on puma more. I dont know. I guess.
@@TunaStrata nope. They're rivals now.
@@TunaStrata Dassler brothers. More than a rivalry, a family feud. Once a big solo company, the younger brother get out and created Adi Das(sler) because the older brother does not like his kid brother's (teenage) wife got involved too much making decisions in their family business.
Adidas just signed pedri
New Balance and Mizuno boots are highly underrated. I’ll take them over Nike any day.
Yeah , I do reckon . And I think the best is that mizuno neo Morelia model. Durable , light and comfortable.
@@dirkdigler595 its lit ngl..but my best boot was adidas nemeziz coldblooded..hell of a boot
Nike is trash nowadays, but their mercurial victory Iv Sunset colorway will always have a spot in my heart
Hey jake love your vids

I will be buying the nike hypervenom phantom 3 lows until there are none left. Favorite boot i have ever owned
You should do reviews on ASICS bc a lot of people get them recommended
I hope he will do that.

And what about Ederson's brand change ,does anyone understand why he's changing
Why?
Uhlsport gloves are actually the best
@John Adlam ohh yhea ,Unisport CZcams channel said the same thing about their gloves ,and mentioned they could do much more with them 🤔but he's also been spotted with Puma gloves 😮😥
@@TadeusCL do you mean in terms of grip? If you are than go check out Adidas Predator URG 1.0
Nike hasn't changed anything except the design and the colour ways for a decade which is a joke whereas Adidas and other major glove brands have been trying all of those big changes in terms of the grips and other stuff. Price-wise, Nike doesn't have anything good in terms of the price of their gloves as compared to other brands... Also, development of the brands such as The one gloves company and Kaliaeer are pretty distinctive too. I was a huge fan of Nike VG3 for a long time, but after I realized that they didn't show any changes I switched too lol. For Ederson, he would be the end of the deal with Nike or just sick of using them, but he was quite an interesting case because he trained with maybe more than 5-6 brands which is pretty unique. Now he seems to settle with Uhlsport.
Good content
Yes mate "football boots" I respect you for that 👏👏👏👏
Could you please review the rugby Adidas boots pls. Ik it’s rugby but want a good review on them
is it me or would the laceless nemeziz look fire on sterling?
I wore Puma’s almost all my childhood playing, switched to the Beckham adidas predators when they came out, I was 16, tore an ACL my second game in them, got back on the pitch six months later in Nike Vapors, tore the other ACL game 3. Never played with anything other then puma since, never had a major injury since.
Grow up
You have a problem if you think the shoes were the problem
@@davidkosiba624
It was going from old school round studs to blade style studs on the predators and vapors, both blow outs were from loss of traction when pivoting.
Believe whatever you want to, I don’t care. Im pretty sure I know what I experienced, and the injuries from it, still have the scars to prove it, and the horrible daily pain from those injuries, now that it’s 15 years later.
@@jays3583
Uh, ok? I’m in my 30s I think I’m grown up enough, thanks.
I sent my nike mercurial 14 back after 5 matches, already had a hole where the mesh joins the sole.
switched to NB furon v6+ pro
We all know the big reason why many are leaving Nike. It doesn’t have all that much to do with the boots themselves, but more to do with WHERE and HOW these shoes are made.
From suppressed uyghurs in china
So you're saying these footballers care enough to not endorse Nike, but don't care enough to actually speak out about it?
Waiting for Jimmy review on the new Phantom GT Scorpion
Vinicius Jr and Fede Valverde were also training in all black boots.
More than likely because these other brands are offering more cash than Nike.
What are those orange Nike boots in the top right. Used to have them but can’t remember 😭
I've done the change myslf... Nike Phantom elite to Puma One 20.1
Feel like the new phantom's were made in 2010, but just released now
Mizuno, Diadora, Umbro, Lotto. I'm tired of just Nike and Adidas they've monopolized soccer and it sucks.
@Said Reveles
Yes it is.
@Said Reveles mayb because umbro isnt popular so the shop stop restrocking the boots idk
Lotto still exist? My boots in the eighties lol.
Umbro speciale from about 2000 were the most comfortable boot you could ever wear...
I had black lottos with the green brand logo. They looked sick😂
Now on today's episode of keeping up with the cleats...
It's happening with goalkeepers and Nike aswell, with Mat Ryan and Ederson both leaving
@Cristo Morales Roman burki aswell, there are loads of examples
@@omalone1169 the fact they aren't wearing Nike gloves anymore is pretty good evidence?
Hopefully the price for puma boots remains relatively affordable in the future
Saw bukayo saka wearing new balance as well
Are you going to review the nemeziz.1?
Did you see Lamela wearing F50 straight from 2012/13?
Nike be like:
Money ✔️
Fame✔️
Players...
havent watched ur videos for awhile, but damn is it just me or did ur arms double in size! them guns
Havent watch this channel in a while but dam josh got big
hey josh, phantom vision 2 or puma ultra , and why would u choose so
Not even just boots. Over the last 12-18 months loads of Goalkeepers have switched out from Nike Goalkeeper gloves.
Josh have you seen the new puma fear pack theyve recently released
Yup! I posted about them on my instagram. The Futures are wild!
Hey Josh, I was wondering if you knew where I could get my hands on some Nike Mercurial superfly 4's? Would you mind providing me some insight?
Ebay would be your best bet at this point.
I was confused the other day because I saw Sterling the other day in an interview wearing Puma trainers, now I know Man City are sponsored by them but he’d be wearing Nike shoes either way, so maybe a puma switch for him too
If he's ending his deal with Nike, he might have just worn the Puma trainers because he needed some non Nike shoes and City had some Puma trainers lying around
I think they are directing their focus to basketball since the shoes are turning more and more into lifestyle sneakers which at the end of the day is way more marketable especially considering the whole hype around deadstock shoes. Idk how exactly the whole thing with Jordan Brand works but since they are still affiliated with Nike they definetly will get their share. Therefore they have the biggest rising and established superstars of the fastet growing sport atm like Luka Doncic, Zion Williamson, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Durant and LeBron James (just to name a few) whilst still having goats like Ronaldo, Tiger Woods and Nadal in other sports which definetly makes up for losing guys like Neymar and Lewi. And that is not even mentioning collaborating with Travis Scott, Virgil Ablo and Jay Balvin for example
can you make a video about TF boots ( what the best TF boots are ) :D tks
Those red predators wow, any old School predators are just amazing
I got lost on the sterling changes bc i swear he was changing to puma a while ago and then reports said he was switching to adidas but then i saw him wearing a pair of phantom venoms a couple weeks ago
Dear nike , bring back the magista and hypervenom please and thank you
Hey Josh, Can you please do a review on the adidas tiro pro ball that retails for $110 please , i would like to see it in video
Hey Josh are there any giveaways??
Puma have the best boots right now honestly and I like them because I have wider feet opposed to Nike’s very narrow shoe
Thiago is wearing the Phantom Venom aswell
And for new balance, they also signed young arsenal player Bukayo Saka!
I want the hypervenoms to come back
Does in one in Premier League was Mizunos? Maybe someone in other top leagues?
please review Versace soccer ball
I from nike to puma user.. my puma boots is puma future 5.1.
Wasn’t that long ago it said Sterling signed a 10yr deal with PUMA
Cool!!
But they do keep alexis sanchez?
He still is a legend in my opinion
Thiago at bayern was also spotted in mizuno's during training 🤨
I've just gone back to my old school Mizuno monarcida neo boots , from adiddas world cup boots , but Mizuno have the softest leather that suit me ⚽👌🏾
Iv gone back to my old Lotto Italia boots, so soft and comfortable. Been wearing nike 360s for years, as they recently fell apart so as they dont make them anymore i dug out my Lottos. Might look at the Kings tho or something like that for my next pair of new boots
@@gavhoward I had one pair of lotto back in late 80's about 1989 when I was 8 then I switched to Mizuno wore them until 1995 then switched to adiddas world cup 2 years then asics 2years then unbro special then back adiddas world cup 👍🏾
@@LewisColetheboss ahh the old school umbros were decent 👌 I played 5-a-side for years and the 360s were awesome for that. For 11s I preferred the adidas world cups. I tried the venoms when they first came out, but hated the plastic feel of them. Gotta be leather all the way!
@@gavhoward yes I totally agree leathers the way forward for football boots that why I've just gone back to Mizuno as they have one of best leather boots designs I've ever wore lovely feel to them honest 👍🏾👌🏾⚽
About Lewandowski, I agree with your opinion, but I would like to add a few things.
The polish forward is around 32 years old and he plays in Bundesliga, so the main markets are Germany and Poland.
The revenues are naturally smaller comparing to big star on Premier League or La Liga. That's comprehensible for Nike to search a younger star.
For Puma, which a german brand, it makes much more sense to hire Lewandowski. It gets even more interesting, when you remember Bayern is sponsored by Adidas (the ethernal Puma's rival).
About Sterling, he hasn't been quite the player he was 2 seasons ago. So, in his case, I believe he is really after some good money, but he won't give the same impact as Lewandowski can do for Puma .
Same with Thiago he’s switched to Adidas he wore phantoms
What is happening with Le Coq Sportif boots?????
I feel like Nike’s boots quality are by far one of the worst, they have a lot of great technology, but I personally, have had problems with all of my Nike boots.
Really, mid range or what?
@@itsmike9227 he just doesn’t know how to play
I know what you mean. Nike's boots have the lowest quality I've seen from any major brand. On my high school soccer team, 3 different people had Nikes that melted while they were playing. We played in a hot climate during the summer, but that's ridiculous. I mean it was definitely below 100 degrees F outside, probably around 90. There's no way any company of Nike's standing should be making shoes that melt under relatively normal conditions like these. I mean it's one thing if they melt in an oven, but on a field in temperatures that are pretty normal in large parts of the world? No way. Never buying Nikes again after seeing that.
@@itsmike9227 nah I’m talking about type A’s if not I wouldn’t be complaining haha
@@aiman6814 bruh you a fanboy and you can’t hide it, it’s just my experience and a lot of everyone else’s
Nike have great marketing and money behind them.
Personally (as I'm a bit older than most who watch this channel) I remember their late 1980's and early 1990's models, which were really stiff, heavy and poor quality even compared to some of the budget brands out there, like the now defunct Arrow and Quaser (they did have higher level offerings but usually were found at cheaper price points).
Then came the original Tiempo and they got that one so right, players were even stitching their sponsor brands over the top of a pair of Tiempo. Really quilted round the ankle and the lather was great, but I wasn't swapping out my Diadora Brasil for a pair of them.
I have tried the newer boots in recent years and only really liked the CTR Maestri, because the last of most Nike boots just felt off somehow, either way too narrow or too much the other way.
Ultimately, Nike strip mining Umbro, after taking them over, for their kit contracts really turned me off them as a brand.
Nike will look to pick up the next crop of young players and sign them to cheaper contracts, to offset the major deals they've done in the past.
I have the discontinued venom elite
Josh you forgot to show the leaked predator that pogba wore, There are less spikes but look even more aggressive
Martial also 👀 don’t think sterling is new balance though
Nike will always do well, especially here in the UK
I think that given this pandemic situation, it's also a way for nike to spend less money. Many companies are looking for ways to save money since the financial situation in the coming future is uncertain. Might be another point to look into.
I'm sure that's also a factor, but not just for Nike.
Before watching video my hypothesis is that all the soccer players mention are free agents beside neymar and are trying different boot brands before putting ink to paper.
Let me ask you a question how many young upcoming talents are there that you think can push their brand. Sterling is now approaching their prime.
Nike was paying Neymar ONLY 12m and Ronaldo 14m then IMAGINE others are getting Lmao 5 thousand a year ? haha
that’s a lot of money others would prolly get a million or more
Lol they give them clothes and equipment adapted to them personally they get all they want need and more and they get paid millions for it and you say 12,14,5 million for wearing the best equipment they can have is nothing you forget that they should be paying for it nor getting paid
"ONLY" 🤔
nike should release more mercurial remake models. Imagine if they release the launching colour of superfly 2 in the current models everyone will get hyped
Not everyone
