I can say the Vapor 15 Elite is the easier boot to live with. It’s a speed boot with broad appeal. The highly engineered Vaporposite+ is plenty thin and pliable, without sacrificing any lateral stability. There is some initial firmness from the upper at first, after the first couple of wears it breaks in nicely. It does a remarkable job giving you plenty feedback on the ball while taking some of the edge off. Little more of a decade of Mercurial experience with almost a year of having and wearing Vapor 15s, I can confidently say they are the most comfortable Mercurial Nike has put out. From the tips of my toes to the end of my heel I’ve had minimal problems regarding comfort. It’s done without forgetting the main characteristics of a Mercurial.

The Crazyfast+ on the other hand is catered to the most excitable speed boot connoisseur. If you already like thin and lightweight boots, then these might me up your ally. There is no padding whatsoever in this paper thin semitransparent upper. You feel everything. There should be a warning. It’s definitely not for everyone. You’re gonna feel the sting of receiving a very hard pass, or having a poor shooting technique. If you are coming from a plush leather boot or anything with a more substantial feel these are whole different dimension. The fit well and are decently comfortable from brand new. I only has to deal with some tightness in the forefoot, but that subsided after the first use. No issues with fit or comfort from me. The soleplate is pretty stiff at first but is gradually and swiftly becomes more flexible creating a nice synergy with the upper. But the heel is fabulous, much much better than the Speedflow/Ghosted heel that would pinch me. It hold my heel in place with a secure yet gentile caress. There is plenty of padding for something this insanely thin and minimalist. The X has been a hit or miss with me, but I personally dig the Crazyfast+. Just beware of what they are. Oh and it’s $300, in my opinion they are overpriced. If I ever get another Crazyfast+ it’s gonna have to be on sale.

The Crazyfast+ is kind of it’s own thing with a Mizuno MIJ tier price tag. It’s tough to compare them to more mainstream options. From my point of view the Crazyfast.1 laced is the Vapor 15 Elite’s main competitor from Adidas, simply for the price point they start at.

As a person who isn't able to buy any of them I see this as an absolute win 💀💀

Right foot mercurial, left foot crazyfast. Perfect

[duaneswaby]

I had the Vapor 15 and honestly found them to be very average. Went true to size and definitely had heel slippage. It's comfortable but the fit is definitely more general than back when Nike was creating masterpieces like the Vapor 13. If you're not obsessed with having a swoosh on your boot I think there are a lot of better speed boots out there.

I see you used the FG version of the mercurials to compare the tooling, but in the video you wore the AG version. Good man.👍

If I wanted crazy fast I’d just play barefoot lol. But no seriously, about a year ago I was in search of this new adidas crazy fast boot bc I’ve had great experiences with adidas! I couldn’t get any F50’s in my size and this boot wasn’t out yet so I decided to go with the new mercs and must say that I love the air zoom in the forefoot and the overall lockdown/support/comfort of them! While it hurts to get your foot stepped on in any boot, I’m sure It’d triple in the crazy fast with that thin material!

I think I’ll stick with the Vapor 15’s, as I’m sold with the way that they feel/perform!

I have them both. The heel lock in Crazyfadt+ is not great. With twist and turn on pitch I felt my heel was moving hence I constantly had to stop to tie my laces harder.

But my Nike superfly fit and foot lock is just amazing.

I’m usually an Adidas guy but the new Vapor 15 and Superfly 9’s a little bit extra forefoot space has won me over.

Who agrees that this is the best channel

[ahmedrahim]

I’ve been wearing my nemeziz 19.1’s for 3 years now, do you think the adidas x crazyfast .1’s would be a great upgrade?

[minituck]

my son prefers the mercurials over the adidas. He had the X Ghosted.1s and were too thin. Getting stepped on eventually led him to swap to speed boots with a little more skin.

for me you can’t go wrong with the old school adidas Copa Mundial. Comfortable, durable - will last you several seasons and they get better the older they are. So unless you have a heap of cash to buy a new pair of these new boots each season, or are a pro getting them for free, then I would stay away from them.

[baluhanu]

I was very disappointed in the crazy fast because it has the same soleplate as the speedportal and no carbon and no traction, while the speed protal had small control zones, the mercurial is much better, more grip, more aggressive cleats, the air zoom is very flexible, so the best speed boot is the Mercurial as always.

[californialove.]

i have both 👌🏽 well said u can’t go wrong with either one

[koreczkowo]

Mizuno Alpha Made in Japan is what i take :P

[amosvane]

i dont even play football, so i have no idea why im watching these boot reviews, but im enjoying them lol.

[zellxtv]

Jay, do you know if they've changed the AG soleplate on the mercs to prevent them from cracking like the other colourways?
Or if Nike at least have addressed it?

[joshlouissr.]

Does the Mercurial really fit tighter than X Crazyfast? I am US 8.5 but wonder which one fits to me

[OlliSirvio]

Why havent unisport made a review about the new Mizuno morelia beta IV

[maxwillard]

[savu]
