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

Which Brasil? I have the newest high-end Made in Italy model...

 

for the new brasils, u better break bank n go for the OGs....

the LTs is a little stiff....being non-k-leder

 

Yeah those ones. They are reasonable on PDS ATM and I'm considering them but not many reviews that I can find.

 

I love mine. I haven't played in them too much yet but I'm super happy I got a pair.

 

awesome man. compared to MiJ morelias? sizing advice as well? and hows the leather?

 

They super comfy but the Morelia is still a better boot for me. I'd go a half size down because they are wider.
I put some pictures up on the Diadora boot thread...http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/diadora-boot-and-equipment-thread.723973/page-8

 

Awesome mate thanks!

 

So I weighed my various Mizumo MIJ's and here are the results:

Mizuno MIJ (2015) Black FG w. red knotley laces SZ 8.5 US - 7.5oz (215g)
Mizuno MIJ 30th anniversary Blue FG SZ 8.5 US - 7.4 oz (212g)
Mizuno MIJ (2012) Black FG w. red knotley laces SZ 8.5 US - 9.3 oz (265g)
Mizuno MIJ (2012) Black AS SZ 8 US - 9.6 oz (275g)

The new model MIJ's are remarkably lightweight for k-leather boots with tongues, well done to Mizuno! For comparision my Pantofola d'oro Lazzarini's are 11 oz and my Tiempo IV's are 9.7 oz.

I'm not sure how this would compare to lightweight synthetic boots...anyone have any idea?

 

Well the current vapors are 180g in a 9US. 215g is really good for a leather boot

 

Where can I buy a pair of super ligeras? I bought mine too small last time and would really like to take another go at them. I'm from Canada

 

It is a little bit harder now because they no longer make them. I imagine some stores on Rakuten still have them or you could always check on Yahoo auctions Japan.

 

Super ligeras might be pretty hard to find now. Maybe look into tiempo premiers? If you're looking for a similar boot with similar price

 

These bad boys finally arrived. My first Monarcida. You can't go wrong with Made in Japan boot.
Yes, they are not as good The Morelias but these are well made.

 

Inner suede?

No not Suede. Similar to the Neo but not as thick.

 

I'm headed to tokyo for a few days in 2 weeks and was wondering whether any one has any recommendations for boot shopping?
I know there was a post on this in the past but i can't seem to find it

 

I don't go to Tokyo as often as Osaka but there are many KAMO shops in all popular areas like Harajuku, Shinjuku and Shibuya. There is a FUTABA sports shop in Shibuya as well.
You will not see many items on Sale at KAMO especially shoes.

There is a Mizuno flagship store but I never been to and not sure about the location but it is around Chiyoda-ku area.

You will find good deals at regular sports shops that carry soccer stuff and usually they have items on sale.

Have fun

 

What he said!

I went to the Mizuno flagship last time I was there and they did not have a whole lot of soccer stuff. Might be worth checking out though. I think FUTABA is your best bet.

Oh! And I don't know if it's still there but near Shibuya station there is a shop that sells Classic Jerseys. Like legit ones and Match Worn

 

Thank you so much guys. I'll let you all know how i get on when i'm back!

 

Quiet in here...

Well can doubly confirm that the Harajuku location of Futaba is gone.

I stopped by B&D Sports and looked at the re-released Filas that Nakata wore when he was playing. They are pretty badass and I wanted to pick a pair up but I'm pretty sure the wife will have my head if I do so.

 

Remake of the Kevlar Fila's!!! What was the pricing?

 

About $192...

Fila Fascino........?

 

Yup! Nothing ever gets past you does it?

On the remake the soleplate is different and they are much lighter than the originals.

 

I had never seen the model...
"La Brujita" Verón also used it...
