Mizuno

High Value Something that I have not done enough over the years is reviewing the non-Japan Elite models of Mizuno boots. There are some exceptions, like the Monarcida Elites, but for the most part I have stayed away. Part of this is financial, but also because we often do not have the Elite models on […]

So close but… Mizuno’s Alpha series has cemented itself as one of the best alternative speed boots on the market, with the One and the Two both having their fans. While the Alpha 2 Japan won a lot of praise from boot heads overseas, in Japan the boot struggled from being too over the top […]

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 […]

Objective vs Subjective There are not a lot of boots that can claim to be best in class, but the Mizuno Morelia Neo IV Beta always tends to be the modern leather boot that all other modern leather boots are measured against. There are a lot of things to love about the Beta: its knit […]

Surpassing the Original (Mostly) Mizuno can be accused of playing it a little too safe at times, because of their Kaizen (a Japanese word that loosely translates to continuous but careful improvement) philosophy, and no boot represents this attitude than the Morelia II. After all, Mizuno will not even call it the Morelia III, even […]

Two steps forwards, one big step backwards Thanks to Tokyo Football Singapore for providing me with the boots to review! Socks are also the TF Grip socks AIR. Over the past couple of years, the Mizuno Alpha has been recognized among many boot enthusiasts as one of, if not the, best speed boot on the […]

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 […]
