Just bought the latest Morelia Neo MIJ. Beautiful product and great colors to accompany, Def worth every penny and the extra studs do make for a better feel. Good review

[@soccerkicksofficial]

Thanks man! I agree, the extra studs make a noticeable impact. This is a great summer color too 🌞. Always been a Mizuno fan? I fear the price may stop people from trying these unfortunately.

[@mhnd1991]

@@soccerkicksofficial Not really but the unanimously high regard of the leather boots has been the main attractor and they do look pretty sick

[@soccerkicksofficial]

@mhnd1991 that's great, glad you gave them a chance! I know they're not the most innovative or best looking but I too regard them as some of the best in the market 👊

[@PedroDiMaggio-dk4lb]

How do you feel about the kangaroo they murdered so that you could satisfy your vanity?

[@rousseau327]

Regarding price, I just look at it this way: it costs 30-40% more than competing kleather boots, but they last at least that much longer if not more. Easy choice to make imo

[@soccerkicksofficial]

I agree - Mizuno makes the best built k-leather cleats in the market. Clearly, it comes with a price and it does uphold well for a long time. Been using them for a while? 🤔

[@rousseau327]

@@soccerkicksofficial yup, I still like to wear other boots, just to rotate and have fun with it. But as far as being a kleather boot goes, Mizuno stands out!

[@soccerkicksofficial]

@rousseau327 yes that's awesome! I absolutely loved this blue colorway and glad they offer a non-long tongue version 👍

Great video! I would really like a Mizuno Morelia 2 vs Morelia Neo 3 Beta vs Morelia Neo 3

[@soccerkicksofficial]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll try to get to that one but I can tell you I have done a review on each already 👊

[@nikhafiz5767]

Need this comparison vid pls

[@soccerkicksofficial]

@@nikhafiz5767 of all three?

[@TheSocialWakeUpCall]

hey man, nice vid and beautiful colourway for this morelia 2 mij. I am sitting on the fence between morelia 2 and the new morelia neo 4. Any recommendation where I should swing? I usually play on AG where it's artifical grass and black rubber pellets.

[@soccerkicksofficial]

Thank you, happy to help! The question would be if you're looking for more of an old school traditional boot (Morelia 2) or a more high tech speed boot (Morelia Neo 4). A separate point but I would go with the regular Neo 4 instead of the Beta because it's more comfortable and saves you $30 😉. In regards to the playing surface, I always recommend AG if possible if you're mostly playing AG, BUT if it must be FG, then go with rounded studs. With all that said, both are great because they're predominantly rounded studs. This all make sense?

[@TheSocialWakeUpCall]

Thanks for the response. Got a black neo 4. Great quality leather and fits well but it's slightly cramp at the toebox, squishing the toes together. Hopefully the leather will stretch out after wearing the boots in @@soccerkicksofficial

[@soccerkicksofficial]

@TheSocialWakeUpCall thats good to hear! Yes, if it's a minor tight issue then the leather will stretch - just give it a little time!

[@Corey-gd5gd]

Great video just wondering would these only be suitable for wide feet or are they suitable for medium/narrow

[@soccerkicksofficial]

My feet are medium/narrow and they fit great. They'd be fine with wide feet too 👊 they're not super snug but it's worth it for the quality you get everywhere else. Make sense?

[@fraserrussell8916]

What are the ones that are made in Indonesia like? Do they feel much different?

[@soccerkicksofficial]

From what I've seen, there's not a huge difference, but the quality coming from the Japan made ones are well worth it 👌

[@blakestekelenburg3673]

Hey there, do you know if the black cleats have a removable fold over tongue? I might get them for Christmas, but I’m not sure if I like the tongue

[@soccerkicksofficial]

It's not made to be removed but nothing a pair of scissors can't help you with lol. I would recommend trying the tongue as I used to hate it too but then you realize it isn't really something that will bother you.

[@e7delusional992]

i am debating bewteen getting these and the neo 3s beta i am a winger and need your opionion

[@soccerkicksofficial]

Mmh great question! As a winger myself, I prefer the Neo. It's a bit more light weight and a more snug fit. However, the weight difference is minimal. Have you checked out the Neo 3 non-beta? I prefer the regular Neo 3 over the Neo 3 Beta. I have a review on each coming in the next day or so 👊

[@JasonOliverDK]

​@@soccerkicksofficial I like to play as CAM/CM, but sometimes i get played as ST or winger because of my speed and skills. Guess this Morelia 2 is a better all around boots for me then right compared to Neo 3?

[@soccerkicksofficial]

@JasonOliverDK wow me too! I prefer playing in the middle but I should find myself on teams with great a CM/CAM so I get pushed out wide. Anyways, I think if you're like me spending most of your time out wide I usually like a slightly more aggressive cleat so I'd go for the Neo. However, I base my selection of cleat based on preference over posting meaning it is less about what position you play and more about the material, weight, etc. you want in a cleat that is more important. Make sense?

[@JasonOliverDK]

@@soccerkicksofficial Actually right now i play regular for second team where i play CM. Because on first team they want to play me as winger. But for all my life i could allways play on a team allmost No matter level of the players on the team. But i rather play lower division so I can play more games in the Middle and be happy playing. You know what i mean? Yes it makes sense. I need to try both and feel what i like the most on my feet. I just bought Adidas Adipure Legends. And want a Mizuno so I have two Pairs A game boots - YOLO!

[@soccerkicksofficial]

@JasonOliverDK yeah I totally get it! I'd do the same honestly. Never bad having 2 pairs and switching em out every so often - gives them both more life. I have 3 pairs on my rotation now 😃

[@digarassundawy2611]

For slim or wide?

[@soccerkicksofficial]

I think these would fit most foot types actually! My feet are not that wide and I wish they were a little bit more narrow.

[@Justin-uw9de]

Any idea where to get a black and white or white and black Mizuno morelia with the same style without the fold over tongue?

[@soccerkicksofficial]

Great question! I don't think they sell those classic colorways without the fold over tongue. But you will have a ton of options as Mizuno updates this variation often!

[@Justin-uw9de]

[@ziadsayad6106]

opinions on the morelia 2 elite, and compare it to the rest of the high end leather boots

[@soccerkicksofficial]

Mizunos k-leather on these is the best. It's hard to choose with a ton of options but these are the best. However, that does come with a price as it's competition is proced about $30-$80 cheaper. Would you consider a cow leather upper? 🤔

[@ziadsayad6106]

@@soccerkicksofficial i meant the elite models (not mij) hoe do they compare?

[@soccerkicksofficial]

@ziadsayad6106 ah gotcha my bad! I haven't tried them from what I've seen, the elites are up there with the elite models of Nike, Adidas, etc. Also, the main difference between the MiJ and elite is the elites are made in Indonesia so not slightly less quality but still pretty great. Hope this helps!

[@michaelpagliano5519]

If u want an opinion I tried both mij and none here in a local dealer. I spoke to the owner of the shop and he said me this. The difference about the k-leather is 0. Solplate ecc is the same. Same material used. Made in Vietnam and made in Japan’s use the same quality. The only difference is that in made in Japan they use double glue for soleplate with 6 screws to secure it more ( 3 on top and 3 on the back of the boots) and the fact that they put the boots in shape for 24hrs instead 1hrs of made in Vietnam. So it’s mean that straight out of the box the mij on feet feels more soft and comfort but I can guarantee you that also the elite model is the most comfort football boots I’ve ever had straight out of the box. In Italy elite model made in Vietnam cost 160€ and the made in Japan 280-320€( the double). So yes probably mij will be more durable but they cost the double so I pick the elite model and I’m happy. With 300€ there in Italy I buy 2 elite version.

[@hijamkishan9157]

Is mizuno boot cheaper in Asia ...???..

[@soccerkicksofficial]

Mmh I doubt it but possibly! There is also a made in Indonesia version of Mizuno but I stick with the Made in Japan version always 💯

[@TheDarkestEdge]

can you feel the ball while dribbling?

[@soccerkicksofficial]

Yes for sure but there is a good amount of leather. If you really want a closer contact with the ball, I would recommend the Neo or Neo Beta!

[@afiquedanish806]

Do these go the same size as the morelia neo 3? (i have really wide feet)

[@soccerkicksofficial]

Great question! No, these go true to size (I usually wear a size 8 US) while the Neo you go down half a size so I was a 7.5 US. See here for my NEO review in case that helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oneniIlng9KLe9E

[@danieljohnson9505]

Hi mate, I know you say TTS I’m a Uk 11 😅 but I wear 11 in GX and Vapor’s was worried about these running slightly long and with the leather stretching but you still think TTS…i know you say that in video just making sure 😂

[@soccerkicksofficial]

Hey, I'm happy to help 👊 I tried the GX and Mercs (also have reviews on both if you want to check them out.) I found them all to be TTS and the Mercs I felt were a hair long for me so in terms of sizing for Mizuno you should be pretty safe to go TTS. If you're worried about leather stretching and don't mind squeezing in for a bit, you can always go half a size down, which some people do with k-leather, but I personally don't. Hopefully, this helps!

Is this safe on AG???

If you must go with FG, then yes great stud pattern. As always, I recommend AG on turf though as it's safest 👌
