Nike or Adidas?

When it comes to brands - it is all about personal preferences or choices. I think it should finally come to you using the product and deciding for yourself what it is that you like.

It is no secret that both of these boots are currently the top sellers on the market and for good reason. Nike and Adidas have both put tremendous time and effort into making their Speed boots the premier choice of top players. Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Gareth Bale, Luis Suarez, Zlatan Ibrahimovich, Mesut Ozil, Robin van Persie, and Edson Cavani are just a selection of players who wear one of these boots. The list goes on!

The primary component that differentiates both boots is the material used in the upper. adidas keep things a little more simplified with a synthetic upper that features a very light texture. Nike, on the other hand, uses a Teijen microfiber that has a dimpled effect, designed to offer a much different feel on the ball.

In terms of actual weight, the F50 comes it at a slightly lighter 5.8oz compared to 6.6oz for the Vapor. But at this low weight point, there really isn't a ton of difference performance-wise. Everything leads back to personal performance preference, between the upper and the traction system employed. When it comes to the soleplate, Nike has developed and employed a unique system that is only used on the Vapor, Adidas, on the other hand, use the same SprintFrame that is used on most of their current range - it is seen as a more "tried and tested" solution.

In terms of performance, I suspect it will be very comparable. But it will be much cooler looking.
