Mizuno follow up the release of the brand-new Alpha II with their first full pack of the year, arriving as the ‘Platinum’ pack. The Alpha II and Morelia Neo IV are joined by a modified third member, Morelia DNA, to be dressed in a silver chrome fit ready for the back-end of the season.
Earlier in the year we saw the release of the next generation of Mizuno Alpha, first unveiled as a teaser edition to then later drop an official first edition. On both we saw a disruptive, chrome finish glazed onto the speed boot, and now we see a full pack unveiled following a similar pattern. The ‘Platinum’ pack fashions silvers and golds onto all three silo’s – Alpha II, Morelia Neo IV, and a refurbished silo called Morelia DNA.
The Morelia DNA and Alpha II both arrive in an official colourway of “Galaxy Silver/Gold”, whilst the Neo IV fashions a “Galaxy Silver/Gold/Cool Grey”. Touches of gold augment the luxury feel to this pack, with Mizuno always striving to sit in the premium boot market – crafting their boots with the latest technology and materials.
Morelia DNA acts as Mizuno’s love letter to those players that can’t let go of a classic leather boot but still want the technology and performance of other silos. It pairs the premium leather upper of a Morelia II with the lightweight soleplate of the Neo IV – producing a perfect fusion of tradition and performance. It allows players to keep the style and touch of a well-made leather boot without the speed or weight restrictions.
The Alpha II is once again available as part of the Made In Japan series – the most premium version of the boot, hand-crafted with the finest materials in the Mizuno factory in Japan. Similar to the patterns on the Alpha II’s dropped earlier in the year, the silo takes on another iridescent/chrome aesthetic, playing into the idea of ‘lightspeed’ to enhance their reputation as a speed boot in a competitive market against the likes of the Mercurial and F50.
Expect to see some top Mizuno Athletes, such as João Félix and Sergio Ramos, to be lacing these up in the near future.
