- What's up guys.
Matt from the Football Boots team and today,
we are here to give you the most in-depth
and precise testing review of Adidas Nemeziz 17+ 360 Agility
to help you guys work out whether this should be
your next pair of boots.
Well let's get right into it.
(upbeat techno music)
So what's the 360 Agility is all about?
Well, take away the bandage system,
the headline feature is that the boots don't feature
any laces whatsoever.
Which is actually Adidas' second boots
not having any laces alongside their Purecontrol.
But compared to the Purecontrol,
the Nemeziz, in my opinion, features such a bit of snug fit,
lockdown in responsiveness because the bandage system
just creates such a more compressive feeling overall.
(upbeat techno music)
So without question, the main talking point
of the Nemeziz has to be the upper construction.
And from here, you guys might be able to tell
that its actual three materials use.
Now the top of the foot we've got the 360 Agility Bandage
which is exposed and it feels very compressive.
Now slightly closer towards the forefoot,
we've got the Torsion Tape which almost feels a bit
like Nike's skin on top of the bandage.
Now, at the very toe we've got the Agilityknit 2.0
which is the second gen of Primeknit.
Primeknit was great but Adidas have decided
to take up a level to the Agilityknit 2.0.
But overall, you can definitely feel the different
title material across the top of the foot
which makes that bandage system.
(upbeat techno music)
So what does the Agilityknit 2.0 actually feel like
around the toe box.
Well, I'm not gonna lie to you guys,
it's not the softest right out of the box.
It almost just feels a little bit rough,
almost because that the Agilityknit hasa rough texture to it
but in terms of feeling soft,
it is a little bit stiff to start with
but after maybe three, four hours of use,
it might start to soften up ever so slightly.
(upbeat techno music)
So, what is this latest high-end boot
by Adidas is all about?
Well if I can describe it in one word,
it would have to be agility.
The Nemeziz 17+ 360 Agility.
So how it actually achieve that?
Well, two main parts.
The Dual Lock Collar in that triangle-shaped cut out
and it wraps around the ankle very snugly.
A little bit hard at the top of the foot
and also at the back.
Now, alongside that to increase the overall fit,
inside that top portion of the collar,
its got some grippy parts to make sure your foot
doesn't stick around, whatsoever.
Now, this part of the review is absolutely essential
if you want these Nemeziz boots yourself.
And that's the fit and sizing.
Now, unfortunately, if you do have excessively wide feet,
then I wouldn't recommend going for this
specific Adidas model.
Looking at the sole plate and this is where you can see
that it is actually quite narrow.
I'd say it's more narrow than the PureControl
and also PureSpeed.
So if you do have excessively wide feet,
I'd stay clear of the Nemeziz model all round.
But luckily, if you do have the right foot shape,
the go through the size and these gonna fit you
nice and snug, perfectly.
(upbeat techno music)
So with any boot made for agility,
a main factor has to be that sole plate.
Because there were a lot of the response this comes from.
Looking at the Nemeziz, we got a brand new sole plate.
Never been seen before by Adidas.
Take away Sprintframe
and we've now got Torsionframe technology.
It is quite similar to Sprintframe.
It's very stiff in the heel and the mid foot
but it is noticeably stiffer around that toe box region.
So in terms of that high aggressive toe off acceleration,
these are gonna perform incredibly high.
(upbeat techno music)
So we've already mentioned the sole plate
but the second part to underfit agility,
comes from the stud configuration.
And just all at Torsionframe soleplate,
it also comes with a brand new type of stud.
Now, these are SGAG
and they're in that half-conical shaped stud.
Almost of a half moon shape.
And it all really gives you is a little more bite
when changing direction quickly
over traditional conical stud.
(upbeat techno music)
Every single time a brand new solo comes on the market,
literally the first thing I do is actually touch the upper
to get a little bit of understanding
how actually it feels to touch and strike the ball.
Is it grippy?
Is it smooth?
On the Nemeziz, we got a bit of a combination.
On that 360 Agility Bandage,
that's exactly what it actually feels like.
Very stretchy.
But you actually get a grip from that torsion tape
running across the forefoot and then the Agilityknit 2.0,
it almost has a rough feeling.
So although it's not grippy,
you will get some patch on the ball
because it feels a little bit rough.
(upbeat techno music)
So, the Adidas Nemeziz,
built for agility and pretty much a speed boot.
So how much does it actually weigh?
Well, 213 grammes so definitely the lightest boot
on the market.
It can try in the likes of Nike's really cool Vapour,
but overall, when these on feet,
you're not gonna feel any weight whatsoever.
They are still gonna feel like a very speed and lightweight
boot overall.
(upbeat techno music)
So there's no doubt in my mind that Adidas Nemeziz
are an absolute smash boot.
In terms of high quality and high performing,
these are top, top level.
But it have one massive problem
and that's the price.
280 pounds for a pair football boots.
Adidas, that's way to much money.
Go where this place for a week,
have a nice holiday.
Comeback with some even nicer memory.
For me, I don't think any pair of boots in the market
should cost more than how much they weigh.
To 213 grammes,
I think the Nemeziz should be more about 200 pounds,
so I just think they're a little bit overpriced.
So you walk in a sports shop
looking for a brand new pair pf football boots.
Now these hundreds all across the shelves,
so which ones you gonna go for?
Now although this on to my personal preference
in that white core, black and sole colorway,
in that diagonal stripe form,
this all, without a doubt, gonna catch your eye.
So ask someone who likes those very flash colorways,
then I'm pretty sure you're gonna like these
but for me, I like it to be a bit more
of a bit more of a solid colorway.
Maybe all black with a little bit of white trim,
all the so the yellow.
So guys, we gain to the absolute crunch time
part of the video,
because now, it's time for my overall thoughts.
Now without question,
I think the Nemeziz by Adidas are such a high quality
and high performing boot on the market.
Whether I go for the laceless or the lace version,
I'm still gonna say I like the laces,
it customise the fit
but what about you guys?
Let us know in the comment section below
and also do you prefer the Nemeziz,
the PureControl or the PureSpeed?
Votes are in the poll card now

but that is today's video guys.
Really hope you enjoyed it.

Cheers.
