I will always love a Mizuno MIJ gush vid. Been watching for 10ish years and it doesn't get old because it can't be said enough. My Rebula 3s are incredible and Morelia 2 is next 💪
I have a pair of Morelia IIs and they’re great! So comfy and the touch is great. Mine has the fold over tongue and I’d recommend getting the one without the tongue. They also aren’t quite as responsive as I’d like, but comfort is unmatched.
I'm interested in the "lack of responsiveness" plenty of people refer to when they talk about the Morelia ii. I've worn speed boots for years and never found any problems switching over to the Morelia's. What do you mean by it?
Responsiveness depends on the weight of the player too. But mainly they are reffering to the sole plate and stud pattern. Pulling yourself up with a hammer vs a pickaxe on the ground, kinda.
if i was a scout or even just a passer by & i saw some youngens playing ball, & one of them had some Mizunos, Copa Mundials or Puma Kings on, i'd be paying a lot more attention to his game than every other next kid with volt or gamma pink sock boots. as important as lightness is, protection & comfort make a far bigger impact to your overall 90 minutes imo.
No i absolutely agree. In a matter of act, i instantly know it's mizuno. They're the most criminally underrated football boots of all time. I swear if nike and adidas doesn't throw millions into their marketing, mizuno boots will rule the market.
Another excellent video. Great to hear your insights into football boot marketing. Personally I prefer the Neo 3 Betas (no tongue) but the Morelia 2s are also top notch.
Would love to see you compare real and fake boots some time soon. It's been some time and I'd love to see an update (and also the progress that the quality of fakes have made)
No doubt.....I've played in multiple different pairs of shoes from different brands and I can honestly say Mizuno is always the go to, no question MIJ or not they are the best
One thing to add regarding the pricing of Mizuno boots; because they are produced in smaller batches at a time (smaller factory production runs), this means that production output is less efficient versus producing higher quantities (aka larger production runs) per batch. Factories are built to profit from large scale runs, which means producing larger quantities will have lower price per pairs than producing smaller quantities. For example, if producing the same exact shoe at the same factory, producing 10k pairs per production run will be more expensive per pair than producing 100k pairs per production run. That's just manufacturing economics. So from this, you can see how Nike and Mizuno strategies are different: NIKE As they are a marketing focused publicly-traded company, they need to spend a lot of money in advertising to generate higher sales of their products to stay ahead of other competitors (and keep shareholders happy). This means, to stay ahead, they have to add this massive marketing cost into their shoes to continue fuelling their marketing initiatives. So when you buy a pair of Nike shoes, most of the money Nike makes from that sale has to keep going towards marketing expenses. So here's the cool part: Nike's marketing is incredible, so they are able to sell a lot of football boots, which means their factory production runs are huge, allowing their prices per pair to be much lower. That per pair cost savings goes right back into marketing, keeping their marketing strategy strong, and it's an upward spiral of continued increased sales with lowered cost per pairs and making shareholders happy. MIZUNO As they are a quality focused private company, they don't need to satisfy shareholders but instead choose to focus on producing the highest quality products that speak for themselves. Mizuno football boots leverage social media/ word of mouth to generate sales as social proof is one of the strongest form of advertising, so if everybody talks about Mizuno, then Mizuno gains organic awareness without spending a lot of money on marketing. Because Mizuno doesn't have to spend as much money on marketing, they continue to put those cost savings into product quality (such as lower quantity batch runs, quality assurance/ control personnel, etc) to continue producing top-notch shoes. However, the benefit of improved quality assurance/ control with smaller batches results in higher price per pair given the cost infrastructure of how factories work, and you see this reflected in the retail price of their boots. Mizuno's products continue to gain organic awareness because their football boots ARE top-notch and their boots, even with their higher prices, are worth it to people and people talk about how amazing they are so other people are willing to buy Mizuno footballs boots. This creates an upward spiral of positive/ strong word of mouth, generating organic sales without spending too much money on marketing, putting that cost-savings back into the product quality, selling top-notch footballs boots, repeat repeat repeat. So conclusion: Just because you see Nike football boots everywhere doesn't mean their boots are the best football boots, they just focus their attention on marketing which comes at the expense of their football boot quality. Just because you never see Mizuno football boots doesn't mean that their boots aren't very good, they just focus their attention to product quality and performance which comes at the expense of awareness for their product.
I have bought these because of your video of the red colourway Mizuno 2 MIJ and I can say that they're the best football boots in terms of feel, comfort, fit, touch, build quality and everything else... definitely better than all my previous Adidas and Nike boots there's not even a competition
Honestly, I've used III Betas for almost a year and after 36 years of playing I've never worn a better boot. Out of the box they fit me perfectly. I actually noticed my touch and accuracy improved.
Just got a pair of Beta 3 Elites (non Japan model) and after 30 min both of my heels were torn, left was completely and right was slightly. Did you have any problems with the blisters? Thinking if I should go for the Morelia II MIJ or try to break them in a bit.
Jose! My Brother and I sponsored at local youth football club Rebels 2008 with the Navy Blue PGS and sleeves. They were very happy. I have 2 og pairs and 3 pro. Quality socks!
I wore Mizuno when I was 17 playing 5 a side football. I scored hundreds of goals in them and something I've never repeated. I ordered the Mizuno Morelia sala classic FT
For me, Vapor 13 elite’s once they’re fully broken in are hands down my favourite boots of all time. They mould completely to the feet, ridiculous lockdown, ridiculous traction, consistent feel across the boot. Couldn’t ask for anything more
everything is perfect for Nike boots, but the soleplate suck. The durability of the soleplate is just weak , the studs broke off easily. I have a Nike Hypervenom III I wore it many times the upper is still in good condition, but the soleplate fucked up already.
@@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw I’ve had copa’s, Nike premiers, etc. K leather feels good jogging around but I’m 6’2” 215lbs, no matter how tight I tie a k leather shoe I can’t get a enough lockdown for sharp movements in the box compared to my Vapor’s.
@@duongseyhakreaksmey2318 That’s interesting, had three pairs of HV 3’s and I loved them but my problem was the flywire, tore through them on every pair within a few months each
I bought my own mizunos and I have to say theres a big difference between mizunos and other brands. Instead of cool features and good look focusing on comfort.
I have a pair of the Puma King Pros. I have been wearing them over my top end Nike Mercurials and Adidas F50s from 2011. The kangaroo leather is sooooo comfortable and so much nicer in terms of feel on the ball. It’s a night and day difference!
I’ve been searching for a while for a boot that properly fits me. None of the Adi boots fit. Tiempos and Premiers both too tight. Vapor 13s fit me decent but I get horrible stud pressure. Pumas just feel sightly off for me. I might have to give these a shot.
Are these really better than Neo III Beta MIJ? Love those boots. Definitely the best boots I've ever worn. Okay original Hypervenom's were something mindblowing when released but ofc to be honest these new Mizunos are better.
I have bought this one and definitely you should buy half size down. I am 10US in nike mercurial elite, adidas x speedflow. This one i had to buy in 9.5US
Damn, I keep seeing this. I just bought a pair in a true to size 10. I put a custom insole which is a little bit thicker than the original but not by much, and they fit perfect, my toes are all the way up at the end with a tiny bit of wiggle room. But this leather is buttery soft, I don't wanna use them and they overstretch and then I can't exchange them... How tight should they feel when new??
@dirkdiggler4566 actually the leather doesn't overstretch with time, it is the other way, it expands a little bit. In my experiencie with more than 10 years wit lether boots
What’s the difference between the Mizuno Morelia II, Mizuno Morelia Neo III, Mizuno Morelia Neo III β, and the Mizuno Morelia 🧬? Just asking for a friend, I live in California.
Hey Josh, Great videos, super useful. What would you pick between the Morelia 2 & Morelia 3 Neo? And reasons please. Thanks a lot. Keep up the great work.
Absolutly love it !!! I just bought the same boots last month. I had the Nike phanton GT elite before but the Mizuno morellia II is miles ahead. I played 3 games in it and it's just so good. P.s: your friends will tease you about it.
Hello, I'm looking for a football boot that's good in rough weather (rain and mud) and doesn't get your socks wet after a training season. Can't really find the perfect boot for this kind of thing so I'm asking you.
As long as they last more than 5 years to play in I'm good with the boot the brand doesn't matter harry maguire probably thinking getting endorsement from mizuno
Slight disagreement: the MIJ Mizuno Morelia DNA, marrying the Morelia 2's upper with the Morelia Neo III's modern-day sole plate, is The Best. --All of the comfort and the fit of the classic Morelia, but with the increased grip and springiness of the Neo line's sole plate.
@@Christian-Espinoza I snagged a pair from Unisport the week they were released. (Surprisingly, they shipped really quickly to the US.) I'm hoping Mizuno eventually makes them regular part of its line-up. When you see all the variations they sell of each shoe globally, it seems like they might do it.
Does anybody know how these compare to the Made in Italy Diadora Brasil boots? And also how the Made in Italy Diadora Brasil boots compare to the standard Diadora Brasil boots?
I feel like people that truly think some synthetic or light boots actually impact performance that much must ignore that pros still choose leather? Messi for example. Always wore leather boots. Ramos, Ronaldinho. I think it’s almost silly to say synthetics are truly superior. It’s just preference. Kids need to focus on working on their skills and athleticism more than focusing on whether a boot will make them play better or not.
Hi Josh, been following your vids for a while, big fan. Contrary to your go true to size advice, I keep seeing people recommending a half size down. I just bought a pair in a true to size 10. I put a custom insole which is a little bit thicker than the original but not by much, and they fit perfect, my toes are all the way up at the end with a tiny bit of wiggle room. But this leather is buttery soft, I don't wanna use them and they overstretch and then I can't exchange them... How tight should they feel when new??
Not exactly. The stud pattern hasn’t changed, that’s correct, but the plastic used for the soleplate and studs has been been updated, which is a big reason why these are “speed” boot light.
Hey Josh, I’ve heard one slight downside to these is that over time with a lot of wear, the soleplate becomes a bit too flexible which can be a bit frustrating with shooting apparently which is interesting
Hi Dom, What surface do you play on? and how long in months do your normal boots wear? - I own a few pairs of Mizuno Japans. I'd say Morelias are probably best, most comfortable out the box boots that money can buy. I play mostly on AG and havent had any unusual wear issues over the last year. i dont wear the same pair every game, but they get at least a wear per week. As you probably know AG is tough on any boots even Turf Trainers! The main issue i've had is the sizing, mostly length being odd. depending on your feet probably half, to a full size up on say Adidas. ive found them best on wet or damp AG, the bite is a bit strong for my old knees when dry. but not as bad as most FG stud patters. they currently dont make a japan AG stud they apparently did a few years back, but non export. If youve got the money i would go for the morelia 2 like in joshes review or the DNAs for the best of both worlds. i'd avoid the Rebula and go with Nike Tiempo 9s and skip the Neos and get something like an Adidas Speedflow if thats your bag.
@@mrnoize1395 when you say avoid the neos do you mean the betas? Cuz neo Morelia is the base name. I’m currently wearing the neo Morelia 3’s mij and was gunna go with the betas next. What’s your take on the betas?
@@letterkeys4440 Yes sort of, Mizuno dont make its easy with 3 boots having the Morelia name. So in the video is a Morelia 2. All Leather, traditional conical studs on a normal pinned sole plate (like the adi mundial but better as you dont feel the stud pressure) The Neo Beta is more of a half leather around the toe area. Synthetic else where. for me it has a tighter feel round the top of the foot and personally i dont like the flap at the back, rather than leather against my heal. (reminds me of school shoes) Neo Betas do have a more modern soleplate. which is a bit stiffer but also a bit longer. If you want the best of both worlds go for the DNA Japan. its got the modern sole but all the benefits of top japanise leather. Straight up comfort Morelia 2s are great. Neo Betas look cool but for me i prefer the comfort of the all leather thing Mizuno does best. Hope this helps. Oh btw. if you can try on before you buy the sizing of all the boots is a issue. i'm a 10UK in Adidas. Medium Wide feet. I can wear a 9UK in the DNA or Betas. a 9or9.5UK in a Morelia 2. I should say due to the softeness of the leather ive found a half size down suits me better - ive ended up buying a few pairs until ive found what feels right. - As a side note: ironically 9uk on my right foot and a 9.5 on my left. but probably dont do that unless you have too much money and odd feet like mine. always buy for your bigger foot otheriwse you'll most likely have issues with cramp and blood flow doing for the squeeze.
@@mrnoize1395 Hey Mr Noize, sorry for the slow reply, I was more just commenting about what I'd heard about the soleplate becoming a bit too flexible over time as a possible area of improvement for the next in the morelia series. I tend to play on AG mostly and have a Puma Z MG pair which are superb for me as they don't have too much traction which on AG surfaces has caused a lot of injuries for me in the past. Sorry just out of interest do you play in Britain?
I’m struggling to find these in my size. Are they on back order or are they no longer available or is there a Morelia 3 version that is also fully kangaroo leather?
Morelia Neo 3 (different from the Neo 3 Beta) is pretty close if you want to keep that slimmer fit and look that the Tiempo Legend 9 has. If the extra padding is what you want, the Rebula Cup is worth a look. For full leather upper, the Morelia 2s in the video is the go to.
Make me want to buy these next. I bought some NB and sole started splitting. Got some ADI mutators and they have a tear plus i slip inside the shoe and stud pressure. Gotta start saving
Guys, I have an old pair of Nike tiempo legend V's in the all green. Theyre 9.5US (nice and snug) what size would i need in these?! I hear tiempos (older gens at least) were half size small?
Hey Josh I purchased my first mizuno boot today (waiting for them to come in) mizuno Morelia neo 3 beta. Wanted to know since my twin brother and I both play and are the same foot size , out of the two other mizuno boots (the one in your video) and the rebula which is better and if you had to rate the 3 boots from worst to best how would you do it
All of them are s tier. Not sure which one your referring to but the Morelia 2 and 3 are insane for comfort and feel the same in weight as everything else. Rebulas iv never tried but I’d just go with the Morelia 2 or 3. Betas are the way to go if you want a speed boot. Honestly I’d just get the betas if I were to buy a new pair today.
Super tricky! I’d like to say 8.5 and let them stretch, but boots in general don’t stretch very much in length and you run the risk of them being too short, which is always uncomfortable.
Who else instantly knew it was Mizuno

To be honest I thought it was a special colorway of copa mundials lol
@@rsouchereau they are my favorite

I have a pair of Morelia IIs and they’re great! So comfy and the touch is great. Mine has the fold over tongue and I’d recommend getting the one without the tongue. They also aren’t quite as responsive as I’d like, but comfort is unmatched.
I'm interested in the "lack of responsiveness" plenty of people refer to when they talk about the Morelia ii. I've worn speed boots for years and never found any problems switching over to the Morelia's. What do you mean by it?
Yes, what is this 'responsiveness?'
Responsiveness depends on the weight of the player too. But mainly they are reffering to the sole plate and stud pattern. Pulling yourself up with a hammer vs a pickaxe on the ground, kinda.
if i was a scout or even just a passer by & i saw some youngens playing ball, & one of them had some Mizunos, Copa Mundials or Puma Kings on, i'd be paying a lot more attention to his game than every other next kid with volt or gamma pink sock boots.
as important as lightness is, protection & comfort make a far bigger impact to your overall 90 minutes imo.
No i absolutely agree.
In a matter of act, i instantly know it's mizuno. They're the most criminally underrated football boots of all time.

Hope they keep the sole plate, makes it very playable on both FG and AG surfaces
I really wanted to get these but they are sold out everywhere in my size... :(
I tend to go half a size down on K leather cleat due to the amount of stretch it will have over time
Mizuno always produce Bang 💥
Are these any different than the MIJ 35th anniversary ?
Hey Josh, I’ve heard one slight downside to these is that over time with a lot of wear, the soleplate becomes a bit too flexible which can be a bit frustrating with shooting apparently which is interesting
Hi Dom, What surface do you play on? and how long in months do your normal boots wear? - I own a few pairs of Mizuno Japans. I'd say Morelias are probably best, most comfortable out the box boots that money can buy. I play mostly on AG and havent had any unusual wear issues over the last year. i dont wear the same pair every game, but they get at least a wear per week. As you probably know AG is tough on any boots even Turf Trainers!
The main issue i've had is the sizing, mostly length being odd. depending on your feet probably half, to a full size up on say Adidas.
ive found them best on wet or damp AG, the bite is a bit strong for my old knees when dry. but not as bad as most FG stud patters. they currently dont make a japan AG stud they apparently did a few years back, but non export.
If youve got the money i would go for the morelia 2 like in joshes review or the DNAs for the best of both worlds. i'd avoid the Rebula and go with Nike Tiempo 9s and skip the Neos and get something like an Adidas Speedflow if thats your bag.
@@mrnoize1395 when you say avoid the neos do you mean the betas? Cuz neo Morelia is the base name. I’m currently wearing the neo Morelia 3’s mij and was gunna go with the betas next. What’s your take on the betas?
@@letterkeys4440 Yes sort of, Mizuno dont make its easy with 3 boots having the Morelia name. So in the video is a Morelia 2. All Leather, traditional conical studs on a normal pinned sole plate (like the adi mundial but better as you dont feel the stud pressure)
The Neo Beta is more of a half leather around the toe area. Synthetic else where. for me it has a tighter feel round the top of the foot and personally i dont like the flap at the back, rather than leather against my heal. (reminds me of school shoes) Neo Betas do have a more modern soleplate. which is a bit stiffer but also a bit longer. If you want the best of both worlds go for the DNA Japan. its got the modern sole but all the benefits of top japanise leather. Straight up comfort Morelia 2s are great. Neo Betas look cool but for me i prefer the comfort of the all leather thing Mizuno does best. Hope this helps.
Oh btw. if you can try on before you buy the sizing of all the boots is a issue. i'm a 10UK in Adidas. Medium Wide feet. I can wear a 9UK in the DNA or Betas. a 9or9.5UK in a Morelia 2. I should say due to the softeness of the leather ive found a half size down suits me better - ive ended up buying a few pairs until ive found what feels right. - As a side note: ironically 9uk on my right foot and a 9.5 on my left. but probably dont do that unless you have too much money and odd feet like mine. always buy for your bigger foot otheriwse you'll most likely have issues with cramp and blood flow doing for the squeeze.
@@mrnoize1395 Hey Mr Noize, sorry for the slow reply, I was more just commenting about what I'd heard about the soleplate becoming a bit too flexible over time as a possible area of improvement for the next in the morelia series.
I tend to play on AG mostly and have a Puma Z MG pair which are superb for me as they don't have too much traction which on AG surfaces has caused a lot of injuries for me in the past. Sorry just out of interest do you play in Britain?
I’m struggling to find these in my size. Are they on back order or are they no longer available or is there a Morelia 3 version that is also fully kangaroo leather?
I wear Nike Legends and want to move to Mizuno boot. Which is the most similar in style? I’d like as much leather as possible
Morelia Neo 3 (different from the Neo 3 Beta) is pretty close if you want to keep that slimmer fit and look that the Tiempo Legend 9 has. If the extra padding is what you want, the Rebula Cup is worth a look. For full leather upper, the Morelia 2s in the video is the go to.
1:50 can't relate Josh, I wore Mizuno's in highschool at 15/16 ;)
Make me want to buy these next. I bought some NB and sole started splitting. Got some ADI mutators and they have a tear plus i slip inside the shoe and stud pressure. Gotta start saving
the japanese way to make a product, countinously perfected the quality of the product instead adding useless and gimmicky "tech"
thanks for the info sir, Insya Allah I want to try this mizuno
Please make video on nike mercurial superfly 8 academy what your football boots say about
Guys, I have an old pair of Nike tiempo legend V's in the all green. Theyre 9.5US (nice and snug) what size would i need in these?! I hear tiempos (older gens at least) were half size small?
Hey Jonaldo! What is the difference in lockdown between Morelia 2 and Morelia neo 3 beta? Which one is better tighter?
Neo 3 beta
if i play on asphalt do i need turf shoe or indoor shoe?
Is the speedflow any wider than the x ghosted?
do they fit just like the morelia 3?
How are the sizes? I am an 8 1/2 in Adidas and pumas. I have a wider foot.
US sizing is the same as the big brands 👍
So are these really better than the neo 3 betas?
Is the soleplate stable on artificial or tears the Sole
Hey Josh I purchased my first mizuno boot today (waiting for them to come in) mizuno Morelia neo 3 beta. Wanted to know since my twin brother and I both play and are the same foot size , out of the two other mizuno boots (the one in your video) and the rebula which is better and if you had to rate the 3 boots from worst to best how would you do it
All of them are s tier. Not sure which one your referring to but the Morelia 2 and 3 are insane for comfort and feel the same in weight as everything else. Rebulas iv never tried but I’d just go with the Morelia 2 or 3. Betas are the way to go if you want a speed boot. Honestly I’d just get the betas if I were to buy a new pair today.
99% sure his favourite is the model in this video the Morelia ii MIJ.
My first boots was mizuno))))
" Modern technology " is much more effective at taking your money.
mizuno products are just too good to be true
How do the made in Indonesia pair compare Josh?
He's got a review where he compares them. It's a vid where he looks at the black and maroon colourway.
Can you get moreilla 2 in Ag?
Not gonna lie… these boots are crying out for some black or blue SR4U replacement laces.
I just bought a pair of Mizuno Morelia DNA boots and a pair of AG x speedflow + can’t wait to get them!
Did you go true to size or half size down in the DNAs?
@@mohamedshousha9772 Go true to size. My feet are 25cm and I went for a size 25.5 (US7.5) and they fit perfect.
@@DecoDoesYT thanks !!!
Can you play them on ag?
hey josh plus our community im a 8.75 should I go with a 8.5 or 9?? I can’t fit vapor hypervenom 3s phantom venom in 8.5
Super tricky! I’d like to say 8.5 and let them stretch, but boots in general don’t stretch very much in length and you run the risk of them being too short, which is always uncomfortable.
I thought the socks were the shoes 🤣
I’ve tried buying Mizuno a lot and everytime the shipping gets delayed or order gets canceled! What should i do
Are you in California?
@@opzxi7917 maldives
@@monkfish3099 I’m not trusting ebay sellers on my cleats 😭
We all knew it was Mizuno
Why don't Mizuno do AG studs?
They do, just on their takedown model. These studs are decent enough on AG, and on low quality AG, you can use their TF shoes
Can you do another “best cheap boots”
You did your brows eyy
Can I wear this on ag
Fg on fg, ag on ag or fg.
Doesnt matter what brand makita ,honda , mizuno or shimano ,Made in japan product just are higher quality and long lasting product
I guess Mizuno just makes em' different
