The Mizuno 'Alpha' Has Landed And It's Something Special

Mizuno has unveiled ‘The Alpha’, the first of a new family of lightweight and fast boots. With the well-known Japanese company consistently releasing new, unique designs, this must be the finest one yet. Because of the innovative tech elements and synthetic materials that make up the brilliance of such a boot, the lightweight package weighs just 195 grammes.

Mizuno has a long history in the game, and boots like the Morelia demonstrate its superior craftsmanship, design, and comfort. Mizuno previously collaborated with the original Morelia II and Morelia Neo III B, as well as their legendary superior K-Leather, to blend unique character with a long-lasting heritage that has been a staple around the world for over 30 years.

With an eye towards the future, the 'Alpha' speed-boosting boot will help you look better, play better, and run faster. The upper is composed of five layers that have been pressed together to provide a ‘barefoot’ feel on the ball. Polyurethane material, Engineered Fit Woven, Engineered Fit Frame, Engineered Fit Sponge, and Suede make up these layers. The new Mizuno Enerzy foam can improve cushioning and energy return, and while these boots are not yet as renowned as Mizuno's classic, gorgeous leather boots, they are progressive and light weight. Mizuno's Engineered Fit Woven is a new light and soft cloth that stretches very modestly to provide the optimal fit. The redesigned triangular studs also allow for additional speed and agility, with the Frame intended to hold the foot in position.

In addition to the Alphas that are ideal for all surfaces, the Mizuno Alpha MIJ AG are designed specifically for those who want to kick the ball about on synthetic grass. Mizuno has also designed an 'elite' version of the original Alphas for $350, which competes with Mercurial and Speedflow in the top boots for speed and comfort rankings. These boots have 2.5 times the grip of regular boots, which prevents slippage and allows the foot to move quickly on all surfaces.

The Japanese craft makers made certain that no element was overlooked in the Mizuno Alpha’s unique, simple, swift, and air light design. The Mizuno Alpha takes us into the future in an instant with its release.
