    Recently picked up the 2020 Morelia and aside it being 1/4 size longer, Mizuno really nailed the fit. Thinking of picking up the new Rebula 3 to accompany these bad boys. I've digested articles by Kohei and Gaijinbootblog (excellent stuff!) yet still am conflicted as to whether to go 1/2 size down my usual US 7.

    Cheers guys!

    Lovely collection you've got there! I love the white/gold Morelia but couldn't justify it since I got the launch colourway. Thanks for the kind words about my blog. I'll keep working hard at it!
    Hmmm, the leather will stretch a little bit but it's totally up to you. It works great for me since I'm in-between sizes as it is. Most people I know here went a half size down but that again, not everyone does.
    I prefer a snug fit too so that's another reason I like the half size down.
    Other than that, you're right. The fit is fantastic on these! They did a brilliant job on them.

    Aye appreciate it! Thanks for the advice too. Yeah it was either the Rebula 3 or another Wave Cup. That made me incline towards Mizuno back in 02/03. Pure class. Secretly hoping that Mizuno will bring back them Wave Cups permanently or at the very least, rerelease them at regular intervals.

    You're welcome! Ooooh yeah. I would be so happy if they brought the Wave Cups back permanently too.

    That is a great collection. I would love to have the reds, blues, and white/golds to go along with standard my black/whites.

    Looks like the Morelia Neo III will have a one piece knit rear quarter and ankle collar...

    These are the Beta. The regular Version will have a normal floating tongue.

    Beta, huh? Limited edition again?
    So should we expect to see the same synthetic leather rear quarter used on previous Neos for the general release?

    Yeah, limited edition Beta.
    Not quite on the material. They've redone that material as well as other parts. Everything will be revealed next week. I'm very excited for this.

    Thanks for the news! Hadn't seen this before. Looks hideous though, won't be buying this one. I hope the useless collar is just a one time test.

    looks like Mizuno can't escape from "following" the trend (knit collar n tongue - like adidas, nike, puma n the likes), huh.....

    thankfully not the ugly "hi-collar" thingy, at least for now....

    I just noticed that Rakuten will stop selling worldwide on their global market.

    Any tips on how we'll be able to reliably purchase Mizuno from Japan in the future?

    They are releasing them again, unfortunately no white tongue and the shade of blue looks darker.

    Supposedly 6/26 in Japan.
    TF already out in Asia.

    Mizuno will also later release a blackout Neo III betas aswell a white with a light orange runbird.

    Finally they will release a reverse wave cup colour, with the upper being blue and the runbird being white.
