Mizuno

Still Special The newest Mizuno Morelia UL (Ultra Light) is the latest in a sub series of the Morelia line up that separates itself from the standard boots by being lighter. While in its current form the new UL is only about fifteen grams lighter than the standard Morelia, in the past it used to […]

Half-baked Mizuno has had a banger summer so far, not only releasing the brilliant Mizuno Morelia II Japan, but finally offering AG soleplates on a majority of their high-end boots. I gave a lot of praise to the Mizuno Morelia Proto but still felt it needed an FG plate, even though the AG plate is […]

Almost the perfect leather boot If there is one thing that we can always count on, it is that Mizuno always makes a superb kangaroo leather boot. The Morelia II Japan has been the gold standard for years and while various trends come and go, the Morelia is seemingly eternal. It is one of those […]

Boots were supplied by Tokyo Football SG, socks worn are also available at Tokyo Football SG Simplicity goes a long way Back in 2018 Mizuno released the Mizuno Wave Cup remake. With much hype, the boot quickly sold out and is among the best boots Mizuno has ever produced. Lesser known however, is that Mizuno […]

Outstanding but… Mizuno has had a strong hold on the Japanese soccer world ever since the initial 2011 release of the Morelia Neo series.
