I’m not sure whether many fans in the US know how lucky we are to have so many Mizuno boots available here. There was a time when the elite Japanese brand completely left the American market, so when a Mizuno Pre-Future Pack drops with a selection of fresh new colorways, you absolutely have to appreciate it!
When Mizuno label a boot with “MIJ”, you are immediately entitled to associate them with extreme quality. “Made In Japan” basically means that the boots are handcrafted in Japan without stressing out about how long it takes to piece them together.
Digging a little deeper, each pair is placed and shaped on a last for 24 hours in order to create the perfect shape. In comparison, your average boot on the market gets just 20 minutes on a last. That is a HUGE difference, and one that allows Mizuno to provide players with a boot built on detail and not hype. Think of the natural stress and fit tat occurs in the material before they even get to your feet.
Below is a selection of the boots released as part of the Pre-Future Pack!
Morelia Neo III Beta MIJ

While the Neo III is making waves, Mizuno has decided to offer an even more advanced model, called the Beta. This Morelia Neo III Beta takes lightweight, barefoot leather to another level.
