Made in Japan/Exclusive to Japan thread [1] - all info, pics, questions here plz

I bought a pair of super ligera 3 specifically just for AG and turf, I would never go anywhere near AG/turf with my MiJ Neos

 

the leather x-top are amazing in durability i only wore them on turf and in 2 years didnt show any signs of issues.

 

Nice! Both MiJ?

 

Both have the ridges on the mizuno logo, so yep! Nice boots

 

the diadora regista 3 Japan made is highly highly recommended!

pretty close to like the morelia II !!!!

mine just arrived

oh, just to add, the diadora regista 3 has a very good inner lining tht will definitely prevent any over stretching

insole is ortholite, but a bit too thin

the k-leder forefoot has some kinda glossy coating over it

the mid n heel = microfibre which has a leather-like textured surface

looking forward to play in it this week!

will update on the performance then

 

Sorry for the old one

 

Nice! I have the green wave Morelia's.


How are they compared to the wave cup? Is that the name of the boot above?

I had issues with my Morelia Wave's being too low of a toe box and too tight at my normal 27CM/US9. In retrospect I wish I went with maybe a 27.5/9.5US.

How do they compare to the Wave Cups? Is the toe box the same? I see the stitching is a little different. Does it allow some more 'stretch'?

 

The green one is the good looking one

Yes you are right, they are wave cup sl special editio KR (have embrioder Korea Flag on heel) and Wave cup is lil bit wider than wave kr.

This wave cup had same issues, the toe box is too low but I can play better with low toe box lol

 

very nice!

just got back from a pre season game on turf with my x-fly. it was soooooo hot my feet couldnt handle it. im now around 5 full games and 15 hours of training in these. with the trusox's i have to say they have stretched abit. i love the touch they give. i think these will last around 15-25 matches. As the soleplate is thin on a hot summers day in uk like today it was so painful to cut. im glad the boots are riveted. if playing on games these would easily give you a season.

 

SR4U's review on the Nike Tiempo Super Ligera 3s

 

I've been wanting a pair of these, but I don't know which are the low end vs high end models. Is there a guide online somewhere? I've gone on ebay and the same sellers will sell the Ligera, but one will be 150 and then another one on their site will be 250 so, I'm like uhhhh which is the nicest model, because I want that one

 

The high end model has k-leather and suede heel liner. The studs are also somewhat transparent while the take down model has a fully opaque soleplate and studs + it's fully synthetic. You can get a pair of the top model for way cheaper off rakuten.

 

Yeah I'm planning on getting a pair off of Rakuten. Any particular retailers I should buy from off of there? There's one particular one I've bought from 3 times and they've been amazing and super fast delivery, but they don't have this model.

 

To be honest, I don't really have a specific retailer I go to on rakuten. I just go to whoever has the best price. Always the best way to find a pair of boots on rakuten is to find the product code and paste it into the search bar.

 

Cool, they look nice. Any ideas how to work out whether I need standard or wide?

 

you probably don't need wide to be honest. what's your measurements and shoe size? if you can fit into a nike boot without having to go half a size up, you're probably a standard fit.

 

I'm 8UK (9US).

Never had my width measured. My feet are slightly wide across the toes though, i've never had a Nike top end boot but I gave up on their take down astros because none of them fit my foot shape (always too tight across the toes).

 

Sounds like you may need wide then.

 

I honestly doubt you need it wide. I have them in a us8.5 (it fits half a size large). Measure out the width of your feet and lemme know. I can advise accordingly. Unless you have insanely wide feet, usually the normal size is wide enough.

 

Ok cool will do. Thanks!

(Perhaps also worth mentioning that I have been wearing LZ1s US9 and although they were tight across the toes at first they did stretch out enough after a few hours).

 

ah. Well I have the LZ2's in US9 and I had the exact same experience. The leather will definitely stretch so its not a problem. I regret not going a full size down to be honest.



1 point to note for anyone interested to the Diadoras: They do have a higher than normal toebox, which makes it feelt abit uncomfortable to scoop the ball etc, especially if you're coming from a normal toe box or prefer a lower toe box. Not really a deal breaker, but something to note!

 

Pathiqe X Top arrived today, worn tonight. Huge fan already. Little big snugger than copa, so would maybe go up half a size next time. Good eal using tenso's buying service as adidas japan website had them on sale. Add in their fee though and import tax makes them basically full price.

 

Agreed regarding the PathiqueX tops. If you've got wide feet, probs best not to go half a size down, it doesn't over stretch so will stay pretty snug. I got it half a size down and it kills my feet even after the hot water trick etc although the soleplate and the upper is among the best I've ever used!
