    Wave Cup Legend is out for pre-order (ships July 22nd) only 1000 pairs available apparently. The new Rebula Cup is also released and available for pre-order.

    Okay, the new Rebula Cup looks absolutely stunning.

    Does anyone know if this is how the Rebula will look from now on, or are they a one-off thing?

    rebulas won't just stop there, like the Morelia 2 or Neos (altho' Neos had 3 gen now, but it's over a 10-years period; while Morelia 2 changes are not visually clear cut)

    Rebulas like evolved from the very first gen of power boot - Wave Shinken (2006-something?)

    Thank you Mizuno for once releasing a boot that doesn't interest me too much. Seems unnecessary for a man who already owns the new Morelia and Rebula 3. My wallet is happy. Now the Neo 3 on the other hand...

    It's more for the Japanese tastes and the folks who love the Wave Cup

    Well I'm not from Japan but I do love stuff which are popular over there (in general and and in futsal for example) and I also really like the Wave Cup, still not interested in the Rebula Cups. I've never cared for increased grip on my football boots, high quality leather is perfect for me without added gimmicks which effect or are supposed to effect the touch.

    Pitches here finally reopened 2 weeks ago , after nearly 5 months of lockdown.

    Was looking if there's anything new or on sale in PDS. Then i found these , 50% off , and they still have my size !!

    Has anyone gotten a chance to try out the Neo 3 betas? Interested to see how Mizuno handles knit. Neo tongues have also been a bit awkward for me, and I really like how a knit collar keeps turf beads out of your boots.​

    I am testing a pair right now. They're really nice! I think I might end up liking them more than the regular Neo 3

    Do they actually run a .5 size big like reviews have mentioned? I’m a 9 in the Neo 2’s, but I have a cm or so at the front. Seems like a few Intl eBay sellers still have a few pairs in my size of the original white/black/red ones.

    UPS didn’t get to me for a few days, but my Betas arrived today finally, and I’m really pleased with them. They seem to incorporate a lot of my favorite parts of knit and synthetic boots, but they also tweaked all the things that bother me about my first and second gen Neos (toe box volume, tongue, and heel/achilles flap). Just a really well thought out boot all around.

    They look excellent! I wish we got the white here. We only got the blue.

    They're so nice, right?

    They’re exactly what I was hoping they would be, and what I wanted the low cut knit Vapors to be. I tried on my Vapor 13s after the Betas, and the collar is comparable, but the toe box is sooooo stiff. It feels like a cardboard box. Wish I could double up on them in the white, but I’d need to remortgage my house.

    Argh, those blackouts are beautiful. But when are they going to release the regular (non beta) version of Morelia Neo in Europe? Can't see it anywhere.
