Testing EVERY Product that Footballers have Complained about - are they really that bad? 

Adidas used to have an obsession with releasing "the roundest ball ever made" for each World Cup. The Jabulani was the peak of this madness. Remember those 99p Super Tele balls you could get from petrol stations that turned every 8 year old kid in to Roberto Carlos? It was like that but at the World Cup.

Goalkeepers:The Jabulani ball was very hard for us to stop Suarez:Not at all!

The shirt being wet test might be more about how well the sweat evaporates from the shirt during the game, it might hang onto it while the other ones dry faster and therefore stay lighter overall

Fellaini's case was thrown out of court after the lawyer pointed out that the boots had no effect on his ability to throw elbows and therefore had no practical effect on his game performance

Are these products really to blame for bad performances on the pitch?

I used to wear the Messi 16 with the laces and they’re much better

As a goalie I can tell you that the wrist wraps really help with giving support to your palm/wrists when blocking hard shots with an open palm. It prevents the palm from folding back too far.

The ball at 3:03 would have worked a lot better as a replacement ball for snowed-in conditions, not for regular play.

The irony that a shirt you can’t see has SHARP VIEWCAM on the front.

I can imagine as a former keeper that the gloves are not really a keepers favorite. I also would rather have some with wrist straps

6:50 i think the reason is simple, it’s very annoying to get their big hands in there 3-5 times per game and could loosen the elastic. Traditional is faster and more comfortable to get the hands in. Also side note, I find Nike shoes uncomfortable for wide feet.

About adi gloves, actually a lot of pro keepers wears them without strap, like ter stegen, donarumma, pau lopez, vaclik, kepa, meslier, ramsdale etc... So i think that it is more personal preference thing rather than pros dont like it

The modern barça shirt you used was a fan version and not the player version. The player version soaks up the sweat a lot better and is a lot lighter

Ah man I was my high school keeper when that jabulani ball came out. Those were our home game balls and boy were they a nightmare haha did decent but they were so unpredictable

I love your content man, top quality:) keep it up

The Visaros were actually a decent boot to be fair haha. I used them for 2 seasons. After break in they’re very comfortable. The upper isn’t flexible at all but eventually does soften up nicely like any decent boot would. Fellaini was out of his mind suing for 2 mil 😂

5:05 bro really cut a pair of football boots 💀

10:07 Very good sync with the music when the ball hit the wall.

You should do another collab with street panna when he is fully recovered... maybe like do one of these videos with him ❤️🔥

You got the best ideas love the videos Kerian

The general problem with the predator gloves is that they are worn out faster than other top end gloves (trust me I have tested my fair share of gloves)

kieran i have always watched your videos and you inspired me alot thank you

2:38 there is a light dark pattern on the lighter grey background. It does look a bit like camo pattern. The thing about camo is not just having it the same colour as the background, but it is more about the pattern. Patterns like this makes it harder to discern shapes since movement tend to "blur" the shape a bit. On top the grey blends probably to well with too many backgrounds. So the pattern makes it harder to discern shapes, especially when it moves on top of the background moving, additionally the grey can blend in with too many backgrounds making it really hard to properly discern where the players are or it takes several moments longer to fully focus/discern the object. Those split seconds can make a huge difference

0:00 Ronaldo blaming the pitch for his freekick going to the moon in the Euros came to my mind…

I personally like the predator gloves but i do like the wrist support so what i do is tape the wrist for the extra support it is missing and they work perfectly.

Personally think the mould/last they used for the hypervenom IIs to be among the most comfortable I’ve ever had. And I have both the Phinish and Phantom. Ironically I’m not a fan of the newer Mercurials. The biggest issue was marketing and I’m sure Nike wanted their new line to have its own star since Ronaldo is the face of the Mercurial.

The issue with the Hypervenom 2 was that they were fundamentally different to the original Hypervenom. I had both models myself and the original Hypervenom had that so called "Nike skin" which was supposed to shape the boot during the break in time to suit the foot more and its surface looked like that of a golfball which gave it extra grip all round. The Hypervenom 2 however completely got rid of Nike Skin and instead had a cage built in to support to foot however in result the boot was a lot stiffer, felt heavier and overall was way more similar to the old T90s than to the Hypervenom 1. Eventually for the Euros 2016 Nike added Nike Skin back to the Hypervenom 2 bc a lot of pros complained about it which is very unusual. Usually the only thing that changes about a model (at least the ones available to the public) during its life span is the different colorways that come out every other month.

This is the first video I saw of yours and it made to subscribe to you mate. And I haven’t done that to a lot of RU-vidrs. Well done. That was a good video.

Something I can actually help with! The cutting of boots like Ibrahimovich does is probably done by people with high foot arch. So if you have a normal, narrow foot - you may not see a difference. But to people with high arch like myself, I assume it would probably make it a bit easier and more comfortable on the foot. You can see Ibra is also tying his boots lower which would imply to me he has high arches as that's the same thing I do personally as well

And although the shirt being heavy Messi went on to score 91 goals in 2012 lmao

I've literally watched every video of yours through lockdown! Look forward to seeing more 🙏🏼🔥

you are probably the best youtuber right now your videos just have such a nice vibe tbh

Kieran is my favorite RU-vidr. He makes me happy everyday.

I think it really comes down to your foot shape with these boots. Sometimes they really sit badly in a shoe to the point you’ll constantly be in pain.

I love football and it is crazy how you have access to so much. Subbed.

The wrist straps are for support and comfort, as a keeper being able to change the tightness of the glove is really important… at least for me when I played

Great video as always

Anyone else see the cat in the background running for its life 😂

You are so underrated you deserve more subs

The wrist straps on goalie gloves is really important for giving support to the wrist when stoping high power shots and having tried those predator gloves out my wrist was killing me after a few saves

I thought a lot of stuff we bought in store are “replica” in nature - balls, shirts, etc / with the pros getting the proper version and the consumers getting a cheaper version anyway?

Another quality video mate!

If i had to say my fav footballer youtuber it be kieran brown edit:thanks for the likes guys

"Shirt is too heavy" Lord have mercy,what the world has come to🙏

I remember a couple years back when I was a goalkeeper. We had 3 different balls. The Adidas ball showed in this video and Select balls. 1 of the Select balls was fine but the Adidas and the other Select used to wobble around in the air and made it very difficult to see where the ball was going. Our co-coach, who usually held the goal keeper exercises, wondered why I started letting so many in when they brought out the new balls. He decided to have me shoot a few balls at him. More precisely, have 10 shots of each ball. I first shot the good balls and he could save them with relative ease, saving 8/10. When I switched ball, he noticed immediately that the balls were changing direction mid air. He only managed to save 3 of those. And then I shot the Adidas balls at him and he managed to save 5/10.

5:48 skills

Love you Kieran, sick video as usual

Great Vids Keiran keep em up!

For the shirt that get heavier, even If the quantity of sweat is right, you didnt count the fact that it dry at the same time. The 2011 shirt might maintain more water in the fabric than the most newer ones, making it much heavier if it doesnt dry fast enough on the contrary of the newer kits.

OMG I remember watching your vids back in the day, while you were doing a day as a freestyler or smthng like that, so glad your videos are so popular good job

Bro I love this channel!

Great video Kieran absolute class ❤️

0:43 Doggo runno

0:01 into the video and straight to the point. Instant subscribe

Well done on getting in trending !!!

nice video and a new innovative content loved it mate from India.

Messi wasn’t really wearing takedowns, he just had the .1s made without the lace cover.

0:43 puppy doing endurance training

0:44 I like how an animal just sprints in the background

I'm loving your videos!

I feel like the boots are all dependent on preference!

I see Navas, De Gea, Ter Stegner and Donnarumma wearing those gloves lol oh an Unai Simone too

I love how you tested the PSG shirt too, so we can compare them. Nice vid.

love you bro please post more mate ur such an insparation tho mate thanks

I remember the Pink La Liga ball... It was actually genuinely impossible to try and watch the games as you couldn't see the ball properly.

Watching this at 3am and I don’t even play football 😂

Man when I used to be a goalie I used pro touch with strap and they were the best ones I've used. The cushioning and dampening shots and possible rebounds were outstanding

You make great, original content bro I appreciate that a lot in a creator

Maybe the Messi laceless hurt more when someone steps on you or tackles you.

I have a question. Has your game improved with all the repetition you put on your trick shots? I hope it has. Sick videos man

Been looking for 5 years now where did you get your jabulani football from???

your were my inspiration to get back into football and i can’t stop playing i’m still ass but i love it

with the adidas goalkeeper gloves i think the players prefer to have the strap as it provides some wrist support that you wouldn't have if you wore strapless gloves

Players often wear new boots every game so that may be why. Michael Jordan wore a new pair of Jordan's every game cuz he donated them after every game.

You evry vidio is existing and interesting evry time you are best keep it up

This is the first video I see from you and stumbled upon it, you seem to be pretty successful with the content creation, props for that. Though I really did think your comparissons and test aren't making sense at all

could've just watched a la liga game that used the winter ball

The Hyoervenoms was lit, I loved them. Wish Nike would still make them

i've watched ur vids since when u had 2k subs mate

as a hockey goalie, and an ex football goalie, the lack of straps just make gloves feel insecure. they can stay in place perfectly but without the feeling of them being anchored on it's just really offputting and you think theyre gonna move

Hypervenom is my fave boot, wierd how people like different things. I like that they are so thin i can feel every touch and they sit tight.

kieran just keeps answering questions that i didnt know i had

100% agree with the hypervenoms not being comfortable, my FG hypervenoms feel like the outside of the sole is lifting my foot quite high

Hi, I just want to say I am a big fan and I want to ask u how do u do them cool tricks that u do.😀

I don’t play soccer (or football) yet this video is still very entertaining to watch!

Love the videos

He Kieran where did you get the new prem ball from keep up the good work

You are Just The Best Bro ❤️💯

This video is the embodiment of “Please, NO JOHNS!”

The Man U- Southampton game with the famous grey shirts actually finished 6-3 to Southampton.

Your such a good freestyle player so could you do another panna video or freestyle tournament

I liked my hyper venom phantom 2 and 3’s, both put a nasty outside curve on the ball

You know you've made it as a footballer when you can afford to complain about a boot and the brand name takes the fall for it and engineers a new one.

Pretty sure Fellini didn’t buy his boots from a shop , they are specially made to his feet and would be nothing like what you by from any sports shop .

I understand the gk glove complaint. Some keepers like the strap and typically its easier to rip the palm from the wrist of the the from pulling it to put them on. Its better to rip the strap instead of the glove itself. But personally ive had a pair of those gloves for a little over a year now and still love them and they haven’t ripped from putting them on yet but i pull from the bottom of them palm so i make sure i dont rip it

for basketball i remember buying one nike zoom air shoes. they looked nice. when i first played in them it felt weird tho. the zoom air was elevating my forefoot slightly. .. BUT when you are on your toes like on defense it felt awesome. it was like i had a sprinters foot plate underneath my feet i could explode even quicker forward. dont see why they dont make them anymore. those were my fav basketball shoes

Kieran just casually cutting the boots that Gerard wore in the Wembley cup 😢

Kieran Brown has good skills in football and he looks handsome too 😏

Ur vids are fire 🔥

As a keeper I prefer wrist strap gloves for the extra wrist protection but it’s down to personal preference
