SoccerBible are proud to introduce you to the new Pearl/Red/Black colourway of the Mizuno Wave Ignitus Japan edition football boots. We recently previewed the new upcoming releases from Mizuno and we are now able to showcase the boots in their full glory to our SoccerBible community...
The Mizuno Wave Ignitus football boots have caused such an impact that there have been massive calls for new colourways of the popular boot. Mizuno have certainly delivered with this great new pearl/red/black Japan edition colourway.
Mizuno have experienced a fabulous year and have really impressed in the boots market with some great new releases. Traditionally famed for their quality uppers, Mizuno have made quite an impact in the boot world with their innovative Wave Ignitus football boots. The Mizuno Wave Ignitus boots have proved to be a popular 'power' boot for those who want something other than the obvious adidas Predator boots or Nike Laser boots.
Mizuno boots have built a reputation of fitting like a glove, and the Wave Ignitus is no exception to this. When we had the chance to test the first release of the Ignitus we were hugely impressed with its feel and performance. We're all aware of the physiological benefits the right boot gives, and the Wave Ignitus certainly delivers on this front.
The upper is made from a super soft K-leather material which has been re-constructed specifically for the Ignitus. Touch and feel - two more Mizuno hallmarks - are further enhanced with this soft upper and you'll be surprised how light the boot feels. Our play test pair tipped the scales at 229g (for a US size 9) - over 95g lighter per shoe than a Predator X and 105g lighter per shoe than the equivalent K-Laser III.
The Ignitus features a triple density heel counter, designed with the input and assistance of CSKA Moscow and Japan's Keisuke Honda. The triple Pebax density heel counter offers improved fit, comfort and most importantly improves protection from serious injury.
One of the main features of the Wave Ignitus boots is the Mukaiten panel, a technology unique and exclusive to Mizuno. Mukaiten simply means ''no spin'', so the strategically placed panel on the instep of the boot means striking the ball causes an unpredictable flight path - intended to confuse and fool the opposition and goalkeeper.
As we've mentioned already, Mizuno are famous for their fit and comfort - and the incorporation of Wave technology only further adds to this notion. The Wave tech improves cushioning and stability in the outsole which combined with the bladed stud configuration delivers unrivalled traction.
This new colourway of the Mizuno Wave Ignitus football boots have gone down really well at SoccerBible HQ. From what we understand, these specific Japan editions are only available at selected retail stores outside Japanese shores. Expect to pay £125 GBP for the pro level boot, which will be available in just firm ground soleplates.
