After an official unveiling by Brazilian star Hulk, the SoccerBible has got our hands on a pair of the new Mizuno Morelia Ultra Light football boots. Check out our full reveal for the latest addition to one of football's most famous boot ranges with exclusive photography and tech info...
The Cyber Yellow/Evergreen/Black Mizuno Morelia Ultra Light football boots are the latest incarnation of a boot first introduced in 1985, and has since gone on to build a reputation for comfort and quality leather uppers. With a stand-out yellow colourway, the Brazilian inspiration is there to say, and these are probably the most eye-catching Morelia to date!
The Mizuno Morelia football boots are legendary in South America, so it's no surprise they've had a Brazilian make-over. In the past we've spoken to the likes of Thiago Motta and Roque Santa Cruz who've spoken very highly of the range and commented how they've wore them in the past. Then of course, there's probably their most famous wearer Rivaldo, the Brazilian playmaker and World Cup winner who at one time was the best footballer on the planet!
As with all Mizuno Morelia soccer shoes, the focus is once again on quality and craftsmanship, delivering comfort and performance. But in addition, Mizuno have engineered these lightweight materials weighing in at a mere 235g, not bad for a leather touch boot.
In the style stakes the Yellow/Green/Black Mizuno Morelia Ultra Light soccer cleats are a nod to the home nation of Hulk, with a classy Brazilian national flag stitched into the heel. The boot is constructed using a lightweight Kangaroo leather coloured yellow, which is not only soft and comfortable, but shapes to your foot through constant wear to give excellent ball touch and feel.
Continuing the true athletic fit, feel, lightness and performance the modern game demands, the new Mizuno Morelia football boots incorporate a graded sole-plate offering enhanced flexibility and durability. The ultra-lightweight Firm Ground sole unit makes this boot the lightest ever made by Mizuno, featuring 13 specifically positioned PU studs that reduce stud pressure and offer excellent foot holding, traction and comfort.
The Mizuno Morelia must surely be recognised as a boot classic, it is inspirational to think of the amount of top-level footballers across the world who have at some point in their career worn a Morelia. Speak to most players who've worn them and they will tell you nothing feels quite like a Morelia! Surely making these Ultra Light versions, with their Brazilian inspiration, a classic amongst fans.
The stylish new Cyber Yellow/Evergreen/Black Mizuno Morelia Ultra Light Hulk football boots are expected to retail worldwide for around £110 GBP / $180 USD / €145 EURO, and should be available from late July/early August.
