Mizuno Thread [7] - all info, pictures, questions here.

The estrella took me a couple games to stretch a bit.. but they're not yet too comfortable. since they are leather, not k-leather like the Neo.
They don't feel "right" atm since I played so much in synthetic in the last couple years, CTRii and Vapors. That sounds kinda funny being mostly ppl like k-leather/leather more.

 

Maybe half a size too small? The shoe doesn't stretch it just molds to your foot, the boot imo feels fantastic. Best boot I currently own but then again everyone has a different foot shape so not everyone will have the same experience.

What is it exactly that doesn't "feel" right?

 

my estrela's stretched a tad for sure, not a lot but enough to notice a bit. and they also had and inch or so wide separation from the sole after wearing them on turf twice. probably about a 1-2 cm deep opening

 

Does anyone know of any up coming colourways for the SSW3??

 

right, getting fed up with destroying my feet with the vapor insoles and the boot itself is falling apart. How comfy are the Estrela's? I like them because of their price and people seem to rate them. I love the vapor feel when shooting but as a CB the chances are few and far between getting a shot off, and after being demoted from FK taker (unknown why??) will my feet be alright without trusox in these? Even when i wear trusox in vapors it stops alot of blisters but my feet still look bad. Or failing that how comfy are the MIJ morelias. Or even easier, does anyone have a blister free boot??? cheers

 

morelia II (MiJ) = 100% blister-free!

w-worm, SSW3 new colors > maybe Dec or next Mar

 

nah they were perfect sized. but being asian I do have wide feet. My left foot is perfect but my right foot was a bit more tight. Now the sizing is pretty good wearing them for 3-4 times.
They feel quite natural now but I miss the "thump" from the CTRII and the thinner vapor8 synthetic. i guess that's the "feel" that I was talking about.

 

Seen a few comments recently on ppl rating the Estrella.
Got a couple Q's......wondering if any1 can help............
1) do they come in a black colourway?
2) are they made in Japan only?
3) does anywhere in the UK stock them?
Cheers

 

1. No
2. Japan made only
3. Ebay only other than dosoccer and rakuten.

 

Cheers Merc
Prob b better just going for Indonesian Neo's from prodirect with the cost to get shipped from Japan.

 

No problem man.

Anyone have the current Super Sonic Wave 3? Or has anyone here owned the first Super Sonic Wave, I heard there was a Japan made version of them if there is what's the model number?

 

I don't think htere's a Japan made model.... unless the ones that are for guys like Jonas.... is it?

I bought a pair of the first SSW indoor boots, and they have a version for wide feet. Is that maybe what you're thinking of?

 

A looong time ago, I spoke with a seller who had pairs of Japan made SSW but they were made for wide feet. I was just wondering if there were any normal Japan made ones released.

Have you owned the FG version of the SSW?

 

No, I have not. I wasn't aware they were Japan made.... I remember there was a member here who had the gorgeous blue first generation SSW.... Don't think they were japan made.... but he claimed they fit like a glove, and were very very comfy!

My indoor/astro first gen SSW (for wide feet) was made in china I believe....

 

Think it was hwangong that had the blue ones wasn't it?

There were colours exclusive to the Asian market, such as the blue and think there was a white/red, but i think the only difference between those boots and the ones sold over here was the soleplate? Think they were made from a different material?

I had the red ones, they were very comfy and held up pretty well over about 18 months, hopefully my Neo's prove to be as rewarding as my SSW.

 

I have the blue ones and they are still going strong. Stunning boots and soooo comfy

They were Japan only release. Not Japan made. They have different material on the back of the boot compared to the europe released red ones

 

What is the fit like? I wear a 27cm in the Morelia II and Neo's. Same thing with Nike's and Adidas I could get away with a half size down.

 

They are a wide fitting boot IMO. Which is good for feet

I have the following:-

SSW - 8.5uk
Wave Ignitus - 8.5uk
CTR Elite (1st Gen) - 8.5uk
Morelia - 8.5uk (but very very tight, wish I had 9s)
Copas - 8uk

 

A review of SSW3 is posted here. Quite completed review but not one mention about the Prime Touch Point, maybe it did not have enough impact to leave an impression.
http://soccerreviewsforyou.com/mizuno_supersonic_wave_3_review

 

What do you mean by Prime touch point??? the selling point for the boot is the Feather Touch System or FTS. and there is loads on it

 

And another one : http://soccerreviews.com/news/mizuno-supersonic-wave-iii-review/
The FTS was already been used from the beginning of the SSW series and SSW3 just an improved version.
The prime touch point is a new feature of SSW3. You can get a look of it from here http://mizunofootball.com/sonic/
It is the synthetic like part on the upper of SSW3, which is said to improve grip and touch.
( It is the " a zone of rubbery material" in the review above)

 

Must be to put spin on the ball/ get good grip on trapping with that section of the foot.

 

Figured since I wrote the review on Soccer Reviews I'd add a little bit more about the "Prime Touch Point" (I had no clue it was called that). In testing the SSW3, the PTP really didn't affect anything at all, seemed to me that it was more of a gimmick than anything. If any of you wore the original Umbro GT Pro, which an almost identical zone in the same location, the PTP is basically that.

 

Hey so did any of ya'll see this guy on ebay?

http://www.ebay.com/sch/dnkgroupinc/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

He has a lot of stuff that looks like they are straight from dosoccer. Weird I wonder what his story is
