Mizuno Alpha Japan ONE MONTH REVIEW | Pro Footballer Boot Test

[@minimuffin8100]

I really like how he is very honest with his reviews like Josh from SR4U. I really appreciate how passionate he is with what he does.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I appreciate it mate! 💙

[@junyoungpark8267]

After wearing these a handful of times, This is a great speed boot(most comfortable speed boot in my opinion), feels really really light weight on feet and awesome for dribbling and sprinting, changing direction etc. The biggest flaw of this boot was no dampening in the touch when you receive powerful balls and the shooting experience, I felt that I didn't have enough clean striking surface area to strike the ball with absolute confidence in games. Even with the similar amount of striking area on the Mizuno Morelia DNA's I have much more confidence on striking the ball as when the more thicker kangaroo leather upper slightly bends inwards when in contact with the ball it creates a larger and cushier striking surface area.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Thank you for your input mate! Super valuable feedback 🤝

[@MandeepSZN]

Same, i have problem with shooting outside the pen box

[@baraaamir7891]

Love the review u make, he breakdown the boots very nicely and the categorization is amazing, makes it quite objective and easy to understand.

Thank you brother 🔥

[@indiahereiam2051]

@@NoahCavanaugh Hi Noah. Quick question. Do you know the approximate width of your foot in inches/cm? Thinking of purchasing these boots but not sure if my own feet are too wide. Just to confirm are your feet too wide for this boot? Also in terms of sizing, are they tighter than other boots that you wear in the same size? Cheers mate

[@NoahCavanaugh]

@@indiahereiam2051 I don't mate, I'll be doing measurements soon! Confirmed. The alpha doesn't fit in the width area

[@JTHORIBA]

Great review Noah. I have just bought a pair of these in the sales and was unsure on the fit as my feet are on the wider side (Vapor’s do not fit). Out the box they definitely accommodate my foot shape which is awesome so looking forward to testing them in training this week - wouldn’t have considered these without having followed the channel for a long time now. Keep up the good work

[@NoahCavanaugh]

That’s awesome to hear mate! Let me know how you go 🤝

[@rojo9063]

Any update on the boots? Plan to pick some up

[@JTHORIBA]

Great boots to be honest, so lightweight and extremely comfortable. Took a while for the synthetic upper to mould to my foot - I’d say roughly 4-5 hours. Lockdown is very good, I have a wider heel area which prevents them for being perfect but still well worth the money in my opinion. Touch and feel is as Noah described and it definitely accommodates my wider than average feet which I was concerned about.

[@JayX7]

[@wxl9922]

hi man great review. only thing I think you should include in your reviews more is the kicking sensation or shooting experience because maybe its just me but i find that different boots have significant feeling when striking the ball and it kind of is factor when choosing a boot for me.

[@NotoriousVictorious]

Got these in the launch colorway in AG off of Dick's Sporting Goods. Can't wait to try them! I noticed the AG's were about $40 cheaper than the FG, you think its because they dont have the carbon in the forefoot? Any chance you would consider reviewing the AG version?

[@andrewpalmer1873]

Hey Noah I just got the Alpha in Ag, and while I don't know if it affects the fit in comparison to the Fg version I did go true to size. while it did have a smidge of extra length, I did find the lateral part of the toe box to be a smidge small. It didn't make it uncomfortable but I do have some spillage with my pinky toe and the toe next to it. To wrap up my long-winded question, is there any chance you'll give these boots another chance, but in a true-to-size model?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Maybe mate, but I doubt it! We’ll see if I can get some under retail, otherwise it’s not worth it for me. I also have a certain way I like my boots and am uninterested in wearing boots that are too long just to the length fits 🤝

[@nikefan17sg]

Hi Noah, I love your videos particularly that one month reviews are very useful and has been a unique trademark of your channel. You should start to patent it hahaha. I also like that ending soundtrack. I reckon that I have a similar wide midfoot and toe area like you do. Given what you had to sadly do to your Mizuno Alpha, do you then recommend me to go true to size for this Alpha model, so that it probably will offer some room for the toe area?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Working on the patent 😎 I wouldn't recommend going up a size just to fit in the width of the boot. Look for the best size in the toe are FIRST, then you can sort out if the boots are actually wide enough for your foot

hey noah, just wondering when the one month review for the adler yatagarasu is coming out?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

This week!

[@baraaamir7891]

Can u possibly try your best to break in the adidas speedportal .1, they have alot of potential and the lovkdown is incredible compared to the plus version. The upper will soften with time, for your foot type you'll probably need to break in the midfoot area the most. But it's a great boot nonetheless

[@devantelewis6774]

Speedportal is really subpar compared to the other boots on the market. We’re at a point with football boots where if the boot doesn’t break in within 8 hours or less than it probably means that boot is too stiff or just doesn’t fit your foot

[@baraaamir7891]

@@devantelewis6774 I have the speedportal as well as a ton of other boots, while the upper is stiffer than most boots, it defiantly is OK and the midfoot structure is objectively improving lockdown, for most thinner foot types it's amazing and I personally love the mifoot squeeze, which is lost in many current gen speedboats because they've become wider. However if the foot is too wide especially in the middle it may not be compatible. I may be one of the minority who actually prefer the spedportals over speedflow .1 because it suites my foot better, and it's way more locked in.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Maybe! 🤝

How would you compere Alpha with mercurials in terms of lockdown, tightness and comfort? I know it depends on shape of your feet.

[@baraaamir7891]

I think one of the main negatives is the soleplate, I don't feel the underfoot feel is as good, it's completely flat and has no curve up at the end like most mercs, adidas, and pumas. Also I don't care about them being lazy using a similar stud config, but rather I don't like the studs, quite small and short, and not enough studs at the tip of the foot. Also I think the price is really not justified, u can't say these are worth 50 dollars or so more than a top end superfly or adi. And vs puma ultra which are 200 dollars but can be found for 150, these alphas are 180 dollars more expensive! the rest of the boots seems amazing, upper seems stellar.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Thanks for your input mate 🤝

[@robjj1000]

having worn lots of different boots and previously loving Adidas boots, I really do think these are worth the extra $50 - the build quality is so much better than Adidas & Nike - they'll last a LOT longer than any boot those two make, so actually they end up costing less in the long run because you get more out of them ... Haven't tired these yet, but the Murellio Neo 3 Beta is light years ahead of anything Adi , or Nike ( or anyone else ) has ever made - so comfortable on the feet and the touch you get with them is unreal .... I was sceptical before I tired, them , but I'd never go back to either Nike , or Adidas now

[@baraaamir7891]

@@robjj1000 I'm sure MIJ are the best interms of build quality, however especially for a synthetic boot, the competition is tough. Puma ultra ultimate which are amazing cost less than 200 bucks, I personally bought a pair for 160, and for that I could buy a 2nd pair of boots for the price of the alpha, don't get me wrong I'm a boot nerd I love this stuff so I could buy them but in terms of value I think they're really missing the mark, if these were the same price as a superfly or adi x people would consider them

[@rousseau327]

@@baraaamir7891 Don't agree at all that these miss the mark because they're synthetic and compete with other synthetic options. These are way more adjustable than other speed boots in this category due to its U-throat lacing system, the karvo insert is very similar to the carbitex used in Adidas options (only other brand that has some sort of "tech" at the forefoot is Nike with the Mercurial), very soft and forgiving upper, it's got the incredible lockdown provided by the inside lining and the structure of the boot, and then you top it off with Mizuno build quality, the durability is off the charts. While it's definitely not the bargain option, if other brands last you a full season (they often time don't even do that depending on how much you play), while Mizuno last 1.5-2 seasons, you're basically getting your money's worth right there, all the while purchasing an objectively better boot for most people.

Tiempos use it, just with blades in the back and 2 in the toe area instead of all conical. The Phantom GX has the same layout, just with blades and the tri-star stud in various locations. With majority conical studs that Mizuno uses, it's been very popular with the crowd that wants their one boot to be safe and good to use on both FG and AG, and they've been doing it with no problems. The switch to triangle studs and the inclusion of the karvo material on the Alpha will only make it more aggressive.

How many hours did you put in?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Quite a lot! 🤝

[@soccerkicksofficial]

love this series! I would say though, I don't think these replaced the Rebula Cup. Instead, I think that this is Mizuno's way to get back into the speed market with a synthetic cleat. I'm wondering what you think about the upper after wearing them for a month, does the feel and shape change much?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I would have a look on Mizuno's website 👀 and from what I've been told, the Rebula Cup is gone 😥 The shape didn't change too much - it's definitely a tough synthetic type boot!

[@soccerkicksofficial]

@@NoahCavanaugh ah you're right I just read a Footyheadlines article - crazy this is a replacement to the Rebula as it's so different! Good to hear because I saw they came out with an AG soleplate I have to try

[@NoahCavanaugh]

@@soccerkicksofficial That's it! Yeah the AG soleplate looks pretty similar, although I'm sure it will still feel a bit nicer under foot than the FG

[@soccerkicksofficial]

@@NoahCavanaugh yeah probably a bit less of a spring than FG but since I predominantly play on turf, the AG plate is going to be much better I'm sure

[@NoahCavanaugh]

@@soccerkicksofficial Definitely! AG plates have really gotten better IMO over the last little while too - Until this year or maybe last year I wouldn't really consider it, but now I wear my GX Low AG all the damn time 😂

whats the difference from the MIJ & the Elite in this model?

I've ordered a pair in white I hope they fit! The durability section made me want to buy some. My favourite boots until last week were my (very well broken in) Predator adipowers and they lasted 12 years (and only the left boot broke!) so well worth paying for boots if they last.

@@NoahCavanaugh Thanks dude. I wanted to ask - why did you get the Alphas half a size smaller than the Morelia II? I have both coming and I think I may have to go with the Morelias on a hunch. Big fan of your reviews and the fact you have wide feet too!

You can! I've now reviewed my usual size 9 and those fit me better than the 8.5 did

[@varelaiazul817]

At first I was a little hesitant on potentially spending $320 MSRP+Tax and shipping for these bad boys. However I remember, back in 2016 I blew $300 on the mediocre Superfly 5. That boot was heel slippage galore. I make a lot more money now, and it’s tax refund season. And I already spend too much on football gear, way more than than an average person at least. So I guess the temptation has finally got to me. These are right up my ally. That deep lacing system is orgasmic. Did I mention I love deep lacing systems? Because I really do like a good old fashioned central lacing system that goes deep. Can the upper hang with the old Teijin synthetic Mercurials? I Guess that remains to be seen. The Vapor 9 is still the best synthetic upper I’ve ever used. But I’ll keep an open mind. Lockdown and responsiveness are paramount for me, that reasons why I have used Mercurials for over 10 years. If I feel significant sloppiness or too much empty space, I am not going to like it. But it also has to be decently comfortable, it needs to caress not hurt my foot. I wonder if that turquoise/copper colorway is still in stock. It stunningly gorgeous.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I hope they live up to your standards mate! 🤝🔥

How do they compare to older mercurials? Vapor 9s were one of the best boots I’ve worn

Love these but just can’t get the sizing right

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Definitely a common problem it seems like!

[@rianoedwards1498]

Nvm I played one game in them and they just basically came around. I will say it highly depends on the socks I wore, if the socks weren’t good quality or loose on my foot the shoe lining would pull them off my foot and slip out. Was better with grip socks and a lot better with thick socks.
