Mizuno Morelia II UL Made in Japan FG
Glide across the pitch wearing Mizuno Morelia II UL Made in Japan FG football boots in White/White/White, an Ultra Light, limited edition of the Morelia made from a single piece of K-leather.
Created in celebration of the Morelia’s 40th anniversary, the UL’s a perfect example of Mizuno’s heritage and philosophy, combining their mastery of leather with a relentless desire to refine and improve.
It’s straight from the lab in Japan, crafted with utmost accuracy using lightweight materials and the latest precision engineering techniques to save weight wherever possible. Thanks to its one-piece upper and some clever fine-tuning elsewhere, the Morelia II UL tips the scales at just 190g.
You can feel the difference, and not only because of the lightness. The single piece of leather wraps your foot like a second skin, maximising ball contact for the purest touch. The suede inner lining offers luxurious comfort, while the ultra-thin 4mm laces keep the fit streamlined and secure. Underfoot, the new Septon soleplate uses a lighter plastic and does away with rivets to further save weight. Even the Runbird logo is as minimalist as it gets – a subtle, translucent adornment that sums up the beautifully clean design.
Morelia
A favourite of boot aficionados since 1985, the Morelia oozes class in every respect.
It’s Mizuno’s most famous boot and for good reason: between the luxurious upper and iconic styling, you have a combo that’s fit to grace any pitch.
Its lightweight, foot-hugging design was originally created to serve the needs of South American players, who grew up playing barefoot and craved a similar feeling once they turned pro.
No surprise, then, that it’s been seen on the feet of some of Brazil’s best players over the years. Most notably, perhaps, Rivaldo, who loved the quality of touch it provided and used it to devastating effect. Remember his hat-trick of outrageous strikes against Valencia? That was the Morelia.
The classic Morelia remains available today, updated with a few subtle improvements to keep pace with the modern game, while the Morelia Neo supercharges the boot with the latest tech, adding an extra burst of speed thanks to its precision-engineered soleplate and streamlined upper.
Mizuno
Known for their quality and craftsmanship, Mizuno football boots are the pinnacle of boot design for many players. That’s especially the case with their “Made in Japan” leather boots, which are handcrafted from the most premium materials. They’re so good, some players won’t wear anything else.
Their longest-serving boot, the Morelia, was originally developed in the 80s to offer a lightweight, natural feel to South Americans who’d grown up playing barefoot. The idea was to showcase their flair, touch, and skill, and that’s still the thinking with the modern Morelia, whether you choose the Morelia Neo with its advanced tech or the classic, ever-comfortable Morelia II.
The Mizuno collection also includes the Alpha, their speed-focused boot, while the Monarcida range offers a more affordable alternative to the Morelia.
