Mizuno has turned to its Morelia football boot for a Fall/Winter 2020 makeover, almost ten years on from its last release.

Originally introduced in 1985, the Morelia has only received a handful of changes since. Dubbed the Morelia Neo III ß for 2020, this reworked classic has been crafted in Japan using premium Kangaroo leather in a sleek “Reflex Blue” colorway.

Building on the original blueprint of the boot, the Morelia has been given an injection of innovation thanks to its new, lightweight materials that offer a barefoot feeling, resulting in a more comfortable, natural touch on the pitch. A boot released to usher in a new decade for Mizuno, this new modern boot has been designed with one thing in mind: speed.

Despite its lightweight, breathable design, the K-Leather upper ensures the boots are both durable and reliable, while the moulded studs offer stability on a variety of surfaces.

The Morelia Neo III ß is set for release on June 24, 2020, and will be available from the Mizuno web store.

In other news, GmbH and ASICS has reunited for two more GEL-Nandi 360s.
