$320 is a step price to pay for any boot. As much as I like “speed” boots, and the Alpha looks like an exceptionally good one. It’s a hard sale. Especially with the Vapor 15 and the new NB Furon can be had for much less.

The best brand for football boots imo. I’ve been hooked since I bought the wave ignites in 2012

These look amazing, but at $320 they're a pass for me. I'm waiting for Mizuno to drop another Morelia DNA since I missed out on the first two.

The hack is to buy these in Japan where at current exchange rates you can get them for < $200 USD

I can understand people who say that the price isn’t worth it on these, and if that’s your perspective I can’t argue with it because it’s a legitimate point. This is one of those things where both sides have a valid argument. As for me, I’m a big fan of the smaller football boot brands (New Balance, Mizuno, Asics, Pantofla d’Oro etc), therefore I consider it worth it to support when one of those companies does something outside of their comfort zone, like this Alpha here. If these companies see that these new ideas are supported, they’re more likely to try new things and offer different, interesting products; instead of offering the same old thing, no matter how good it may be. So as for me, I’m getting a pair.

@Soccerreviewsforyou

I get what you’re saying but NB, Mizuno and ASICS are NOT small brands. We consider them to be small in the world of football boots globally, but these are all huge companies when it comes to other sports. Made in Japan, in much smaller quantities than the average football boots means something for sure, but I still think they shouldn’t be that much more than alternative “speed” boot options.

But regardless, yeah like I said if the price is that much of a deterrent to someone, I can’t argue with that. Like you said it’s the objective vs the subjective. Objectively, I understand that these boots don’t offer anything extraordinary compared to other options. Subjectively though, I’d prefer to support a company that puts out something like this, in the hopes that they continue and are more willing, to experiment with new designs and technologies in football boots, ON TOP of what they already excel at, which is comfortable k-leather football boots.

I love mizuno football boots be it the morelia neo series,the morelia and the first 3 generations of Rebula which I can somewhat the $300 price tag for the MiJ models. Especially how well crafted their leather boots are but I’ll be honest here there’s no way in hell I’ll be spending $320 for a pair of synthetic boots when you do have options like the New Balance Furon V7 pro and Nike Mercurial Vapor 15 elites. Unless you’re living in the Asian regions you can get it a bit cheaper but again $320 is pretty steep and in that case I’ll rather go for Morelia Neo 3 beta

Mizuno Alpha or New Balance Furon V7?

Never understood why price is an issue with these boots. MIJ models are known to last 50% or even twice as long as top tier boots from other brands. Paying 30% more for that is a bargain.

Anyone else really miss the old what’s in my soccer bag series?

$320 for a synthetic boot that Mizuno spend $50 bucks to build. Dissapointed Mizuno got rid of the K leather. I would prefer buying a synthetic/knitted boot from Nike or Adidas that I can buy at a discounted price.

Lmao, the irony of complaining about the profit Mizuno tries to make, and then saying you'd rather buy from Nike or Adidas.

Can you wear them with wide feet

You mean to say that this new model, the alpha replaces the rebula? This is very disappointing and a baffling direction to go for mizuno. My understanding was that the rebula was the marginally heavier but perhaps slightly firmer boot that offered better feel for the ball and the ground etc with a different sole plate when compared to the morelia models which were their "speed boots". Also, rightly so both of those boots are (were) offered in k leather which I think is appropriate. Now you're saying they've replaced their control boot with another speed boot (I question why this is necessary) that's only available in synthetic material. Makes no sense... and I agree that the very expensive MIJ version of this new model is not worth purchasing. What a waste of money.

The stand alone tongue is having me consider these boots. Idk how everyone has grown to accept the one piece upper on most boots today. I usually buy older models to play in boots with a tongue.

I just bought this Alpha Japan and the synthetic material on this boot is very different to what you usually get on the Mercurials, Phatoms, Xs etc. It's much more supple and soft, almost leather-like. It's really comfortable. I already have the Mizuno Wave Cup from 2019 made out of cow leather. But I got this Alphas for under $200 as I live in Asia

Best World Cup boot pack according to WC edition; 2022 Mizuno 2014 Adidas 2010 Nike 2006 Adidas 2018 is forgettable. None of the brands make colors or pattern that reminds you of the World Cup.

Bought mine during my japan vacation for about 18,000 yen (roughly 150 usd). Holy hell this is by far one of the best decisions ever so far. My last speedboot was the adizero f50s (2014) and this is if not close, better than that!

I really disliked the tongue of this boot. It keeps folding and forms a massive pressure point. I also bought the Mercurial Vapor Elites and I prefer them so much more. Much more comfortable, way easier to get my feet in too and they feel much more like socks.

I think MIJ version would be too much and overprice while the normal version still deliver the same value so better to seek the regular one and enjoy mizuno benefit

In comparison to Rebula 3 MIJ and Morelia DNA MIJ, how is the fit? On me in same size, Rebula 3 tight/cozy and DNA has some more space/flex. Wondering how these compare? Cheers and thank you.
