That's exactly what you don't say when Nike invite you to the Etihad Campus to get a lesson in how you craft a creative game with Kevin De Bruyne.

Mizuno Morelia II MD "Blue/White"

The Mizuno Morelia II MD isn't a boot that receives weekly colour updates, it's a boot that sits at the very top of the heritage ladder, a boot that delivers quality in an old school manner.
