I also asked this question to a Mexican TH-cam football boot enthusiast: if you only had one pair to save from a flooding of your home, which would you save? He said mizuno morelia.
Almost every time u make reviews on specific mizuno boots, u tell us that its the best. Please make an order list from the best to worst of mizuno boots available on the current market. Thank u Josh
I wouldn't say no marketing. I imagine they focus on home market and Asia. I'm in US, so dunno what they do in S. America or Europe. Also marketing doesn't only mean adverts and on pitch endorsements like the Big 3 brands. They could be spending "marketing" money in other areas of distribution channel like sales reps and retailer level marketing.
Here in Asia, Malaysia specifically (where I live in) the Mizuno and Asics brand are very popular among consumers especially in the rugby spectrum. The build quality is very solid and much recommended for everybody curious on trying out new football boots brands.
I love the respect you give to Mizuno boots, they are highly underrated, I own a pair of Morelia Neo II TF (the triple black ones) and is easily one of the best pair of boots I've ever own. Sadly theres no way for me I can play in FG anymore but I would totally love to try a pair of Morelia MIJ TF, just love the classic touch and respect Mizuno put on each and every pair they make.
I don't really know how to say this, but seeing this and actually wearing mizunos are so different. Like you see this and say, oh these must be pretty good. But when you put them on and feel that leather, ooooh, you instantly know the build quality is top notch and that the boot is the most comfortable thing in the world
My favorite boots hands down! I have had two pairs and there’s no other boots I want to ever wear again. If you love leather boots these are the way to go.
@@Cold_Cow0 I totally agree! I've stopped growing but I'd rather find some synthetic leather that's cheaper instead of going broke by buying these boots.
I used to wear mizuno Morelia's years ago back in school in PE. My freinds all laughed and asked what the hell are you wearing go buy some vapors or f50s they're better looking and much better. I told them this is the most comfortable boot I have ever put my foot in. The only regret i have is not buying another boot to alternate so they could last longer than they did. Absolute masterpiece of a boot.
It’s all true. Mercurial vapor 13 elite have taken multiple hours to finally feel as comfortable as I think they can get. But a pair of these within 5 minutes are amazing.
If it helps, I just received them in all black color way as they were super cheap on a popular online soccer store. I wear adidas predators 19.1 and 20.1 low in 9.5us. These Morelia 2 elites run the same size and feel so dang good.
@@tmac4343 I just ordered mine off fútbol emotion dot com. They’re European and believe it or not, they arrived much faster than when I order from soccer dot com. You just gotta make sure you get the right size. But if you live anywhere else besides California, you can order these from soccer dot com. And probably get them cheaper. I paid 102$ total with some discount. But i couldn’t order from soccer dot com as they don’t deliver kangaroo leather goods to this state lol
I have been eyeing Mizuno shoes on a tight budget for a few years now. This shoe sounds amazing. Really talking my language in this video. I think some guys who have lighter body frames though could experience objective performance advantages with speed boots. I play more with smooth rhythmic changes more than quick controlled movements. I use top speed and space more than quick moves against opponents. I am all about some leather cleats, but artificial fields ripped my Puma Kings apart.
I’d recommend every player whose feet have just stopped growing buy a pair of these. They’ll last the rest of your career when properly rotated. They’ll become your absolute #1 go-to boot.
What’s are all the differences between the MIJ edition and the elite edition of these boots? Waiting for my blue pair of elite’s in the post 😁 great content as it has been for years, Josh!
I’m in love with these boots, contrary to today’s standards I switched from the modern predators to copas and I love them. After watching this video, these mizunos seem like a copa on steroids 😂 (In a good way). Question for you Josholiño, how do you know the durability of the boot if you haven’t had them for a long time / played many games in them? Keep up the great work, hello from Delaware.
There's never a guarantee when it comes to durability, which is why I typically don't comment on it. Every pairs of boots will wear different depending on who's wearing them and which surface they're being used on. With that said, these are not my first experience with these, or MIJ Morelias in general. Could these break after a month, sure they could. Is it likely based on what I've seen and experienced with other MIJ Mizuno products, not very. Durability is always a guessing game, but in terms of build quality that would make you confident in the durability of a football boot, these tick all the boxes.
In recent videos you spoke very highly of the Mizuno Morelia MIJ Neo 3 Beta, the Rebula Cup 3, and the Runbird Zero, referring to the Runbird as the most comfortable football boot on the market. You described the Rebula Cup 3 as being a middle ground between the Morelia MIJ Neo 3 and the Runbird. In the video linked here you compare a number of the boots in the Mizuno line: th-cam.com/video/Mkr3cIw6frA/w-d-xo.html Where would you place this boot on that continuum between the other 3 boots mentioned above in terms of fit/comfort and overall quality? The last and sole plate seem very similar to the Runbird. The only difference I see is the tongue.
The Zero is effectively the same boot but with a longer tongue. Both are incredible, but these are arguably that much more refined. The Morelia 2 would be my pick of the current Mizuno line up, but everyone has different preferences. If you wanted a more modern take on a leather boot, the Rebula would be a great pick, where if you wanted something tech forward, the Neo 3 Beta would also be a great pick. They all offer something different despite all featuring leather uppers.
I already used many leather boot n the most comfortable for me is 11pro (toni kross), but now I would to try mizuno brand and I very interested with this morelia ii. Is morelia ii comfortable enough like 11pro? Because i prefer a comfortable boot... thx for the answer 🙏🙏🙏
So I was playing in the tiempo 8 for some time was never a copa player. When jay and josh kept complaining about the tiempos I was like what’s so bad about it. I got the Morelia’s like 2 weeks back now all that rant simply just makes sense
I love mizuno,, i have morelia for tutsal,, and monarcida 2 neo japan for football,, they are amazing, sole plate is the best, upper soft.. the problem is, half size in my country. I have nemeziz, nike and others,, for me for football, mizuno the best. For futsal, i never get morelia with best midsole. But the uppers still the best kanguru leather.
But the question is, is it based off of an insect? No, which means it can't be perfect. To further prove my point, it isn't see-through or have a blister-inducing heel tab
What are the differences between these ignition pack and the black with white tongue 35 Anniversary and also the MORELIA ZERO .. are these two black boots different ? ? Other than fold-over tongue, they seem to be 70grams lighter somehow?
Some say it's a better one than Morelia II and I kinda feel like it, it's like 95 score vs 94, both are really nice, if you are on budget just get the Morelia II.
Is their anything different between this limited edition colorway and the standard Morelia Neo 2 MIJ's? Also, why would you choose this over the beta or MN3 model? Thanks!
I have 5 pairs of Mizuno MIJs and I have really wide feet, Morelia Neo II and Rebula 3 are not that friendly to me, classic Morelia II (with a folded tongue) and Wave Cup Legend are sooooooo GOOD, just got my Morelia II M8, I'm hoping it's a better version than the original Morelia II since I have wide feet.
Josh can you tell me whether the inside liner of the boot is different to the run bird version or the normal MIJ (big tongue) please? I have Mizuno MIJ with the big tongue, I’ve worn them for years, but the only problem over ever had with Mizuno is that I feel that my foot moves slightly in them, and doesn’t in my Tiempo, as they have a suede type liner and the support seems to be better in them.
Riveted soleplate which ensures high durability, and conical studs that are not that long in length...I would say this boot will have no problems on AG
Could these be made better with a slightly more modern soleplate and rubber striking elements? The soleplate on these reminds me of the ones found on those Walmart boots.
Are Asics boots in general really that bad that they don't deserve any reviews? I do wonder also being a Japanese brand does the quality hold up like it does with Mizuno?
I've tried and reviewed several Asics boots going back 5 or 6 years, but they have since disappeared from North American and European markets! I'd love to try some of their newer stuff, but they simply aren't available anywhere.
I have some mij morelia 2 in size 11 which unwould say are half a size bigger than usual I have some morelia new 2 which are perfect to size so if anyone does get some just realise they are slightly bigger great boot tho thanks
@@sainteven9244 yes I'm completely sure they are mij. I noticed the tongue of the boots in the video look the same as mine, notably having the same foam backing, which is there because the tongue is synthetic leather.
It’s very flawed, it doesn’t have acc or a zipper.
Facts
imagine spending $280 on boots that doesn't have acc smh fml
I also asked this question to a Mexican TH-cam football boot enthusiast: if you only had one pair to save from a flooding of your home, which would you save? He said mizuno morelia.

Mizuno has no marketing, that’s why very few people know about them
The only reason I knew about Mizuno as a kid was because Hulk (the player not the superhero) wore them

Also marketing doesn't only mean adverts and on pitch endorsements like the Big 3 brands.

because the invest more on innovation of their products . and less on marketing
I’m guessing they’re marketing is almost exclusive to Asia
Kinda like Bentley or rolls Royce classier and better yet they don't need to put themselves out there
Bold statement when the Joma champion max exists

Hey bro! Mind sharing which stores/outlets in Malaysia carries these Mizuno boots with wide feet sizes available? Thanks in advance!
Asics and Mizuno are worn by a lot of rugby players here in South Africa 🇿🇦

I can 100% agree with Josh. These are just epic. Well done Mizuno. Again. Worth every penny spent.
Please compare the Mizuno Morelia Neo 3 and Neo 3 Beta!
My favorite boots hands down! I have had two pairs and there’s no other boots I want to ever wear again. If you love leather boots these are the way to go.
Highly agree with you Josh
I do have Neo 2 too and this is the best cleats I have ever had
Best of the best! This is a very simple boots but effective on field. I never wanted to go back to adidas or nike ever after tried morelia.
idk how mizuno will break through to a wider audience
They likely never will. Marketing dollars sell boots more than quality does.
Best TH-camr ever
I love the laces, they never undo themselves over the 5 years that i've worn them
can you bring back "RETRO BOOT REVIEW" please ❤️☹️
I love my MIJ morellia 2’s. Had them for about 3 years now and they are still pretty much new.
My parents will buy these boots but Morelia 2 CLUB because im Mizuno fan. I like your reviews because i can learn more about that boots i want
I love the look of these boots! I know that the quality is amazing, but the price point is just ridiculous.
Yeah I would love them but atm I’m growing and these boots are just too much. I would absolutely love them though
@@Cold_Cow0 I totally agree! I've stopped growing but I'd rather find some synthetic leather that's cheaper instead of going broke by buying these boots.

Im sorry. Josh you should know better, all these boots dont compare to a classic Joma Champion.
Knew it was Mizuno when I saw the channel and read the thumbnail
It’s all true. Mercurial vapor 13 elite have taken multiple hours to finally feel as comfortable as I think they can get. But a pair of these within 5 minutes are amazing.
Just ordered a pair . Same color way
Jafar you are my favourite boot reviewer
My daughter loves the grip socks and sleeves, She wants you to make laces with Grip where you tie it. She hates when they untie when running.
I’ve been wanting to try a pair of mizuno’s for a while but just can’t justify the price tag. Especially since I only play Sunday league. 😅
Bro they're worth it. You will know when you realize how long they last.
No better place than casual or sunday leagues for a comfort/quality-first leather boot!
What are your thoughts on the Morelia 2’s elite?
They're excellent as well, although the MIJ is better.
If it helps, I just received them in all black color way as they were super cheap on a popular online soccer store. I wear adidas predators 19.1 and 20.1 low in 9.5us. These Morelia 2 elites run the same size and feel so dang good.

Mercurial Vapor XIII Tech Craft Pack was Super 👌
Hey Josh!
How do these compare to the mizuno morelia zero mij?
The Zero is effectively the same boot but with a longer tongue. Both are incredible, but these are arguably that much more refined.
For me the Puma King platinum in black is currently the best leather boot on the market
I prefer the Neo 3 betas overall but the Morelia 2s are crazy comfortable, Morelia Zeros feel like a pair of slippers on feet
My boys got Rebula 3 and neo beta they are absolutely superb looks like it just got better
I’ll probably get these in a classic black/white/red mizuno release.
i have Morelias the ones with the wagyu leather and i attest that Morelias offer a very unique experience. More comfortable than the softest slippers.
I’d recommend every player whose feet have just stopped growing buy a pair of these. They’ll last the rest of your career when properly rotated. They’ll become your absolute #1 go-to boot.
I wish he could do more Asics football boot reviews
Big difference between MIJ and normal edition?
I mean, its simply the best. It was my boot of the year last year. They're absolutely brilliant. The black colourway still has a foldover tongue.
Are they the 30 Year edition? Looks like they are a lot heavier..is it noticeable? Already have Puma King platinum so I want a similar weight boot
I reccomend to buy a pair should i go dowsize a half in my regular size or stay true size?
What’s are all the differences between the MIJ edition and the elite edition of these boots? Waiting for my blue pair of elite’s in the post 😁 great content as it has been for years, Josh!
Liked the video by just looking at the box
well, you know the saying... once you go morelia, no never go backelia 🙃
Black laces are a big improvement on this boot.
getting hold of mizunos with AG stud pattern in my size in the UK is very tricky :(
Jason for president 💪
Cold intro catch ❄️
honestly, looking at the title then seeing you pulling out a mizuno, I rolled my eyes. Not that i disagree, but of course it is. Its fair verdict tho

Old school. Made In Japan. Not too surprised.
How do these fit compared to Copa Mundials? Are they the same sizing?
I love mizuno,, i have morelia for tutsal,, and monarcida 2 neo japan for football,, they are amazing, sole plate is the best, upper soft.. the problem is, half size in my country.
I have nemeziz, nike and others,, for me for football, mizuno the best. For futsal, i never get morelia with best midsole. But the uppers still the best kanguru leather.
Josh, please check out the mizuno Australian website. Each football boot product is confusing. No idea what is the latest tech haha
But the question is, is it based off of an insect?
No, which means it can't be perfect.
To further prove my point, it isn't see-through or have a blister-inducing heel tab
Can you review the new Tiempos?
What are the differences between these ignition pack and the black with white tongue 35 Anniversary and also the MORELIA ZERO .. are these two black boots different ?
? Other than fold-over tongue, they seem to be 70grams lighter somehow?
Josh please review puma future 4.4 I dont have enough money to buy 5.1 or future z ,4.4 are on flipkart they are in my budget
Can you review the Wave Cup Legends in the new colorway?
Some say it's a better one than Morelia II and I kinda feel like it, it's like 95 score vs 94, both are really nice, if you are on budget just get the Morelia II.
Any material differences between these newer revision Morelia 2 models (with no fold over tongue) versus the e.g. black or royal blue models?
Is their anything different between this limited edition colorway and the standard Morelia Neo 2 MIJ's? Also, why would you choose this over the beta or MN3 model? Thanks!
Josh do these have that mizuno heel that rips up your skin
I've never had that issue with the Morelias.
I bought some Mizuno rebulas and the soleplate separated in the first day
Then what about that Japan tour?
In terms of upper (leather) is this model better then Morelia Beta Japan?
I really need to get me a pair of mizuno’s!
The perfect josh doesn’t exi......
The perfect Jackson doesn't exi...
How is the lockdown in these boots compared to the Morelia Neo III Beta MIJ?

How did you guys find the sizing length wise? Anyone have any info regarding that?
Which would you prefer, Morelia or Morelia Neo? Both made in Japan
Classic Morelia for me. Both are great though!
Any issues with feeling the studs through the sole plate? Copas are great for eliminating any blisters on hard ground...:) thanks.
Could you wear these on artificial grass as an AG boot?
I hope Josh sees your comment/question and gives an answer because I am wondering about this too.
Riveted soleplate which ensures high durability, and conical studs that are not that long in length...I would say this boot will have no problems on AG
He actually answered this question if you looked in the comments down there and yes he says it's friendly with the AG based on HIS EXPERIENCE
I do.
The stud pattern would fair well on AG, but like any boots, playing on AG will have an impact on durability. AG surfaces are just hard on your boots.
So which one is better this boot or the Neo Beta 3?!
Could these be made better with a slightly more modern soleplate and rubber striking elements? The soleplate on these reminds me of the ones found on those Walmart boots.
Are Asics boots in general really that bad that they don't deserve any reviews? I do wonder also being a Japanese brand does the quality hold up like it does with Mizuno?
