After the success of Mizuno's Wave Ignitus, the Japanese outfit bring us yet another new football boot - the Mizuno Supersonic Wave. As a sort of speed, control and heritage hybrid boot, traditional Mizuno technology and craftmanship make this another serious contender for your next boot purchase...
As you'd expect from Mizuno this is a supple, comfortable football boot. But trying to categorise this boot is a bit of a challenge - from looks alone it is in a very traditional, heritage style. The tech and underlying design are included to aid control. But being so lightweight and clean could make it an ideal speed boot (of course the name implies this as well!).
So what of the tech? Utilising a new "Feather Touch" system the Supersonic Wave
is designed to aid control and touch at speed. Low profile
memory foam is integrated in to key areas of the upper at the
forefoot to aid ball control whilst dribbling at speed. Structured
lateral overlays in the upper also secure the foot
whilst changing direction at pace - improving fit and stability.
The Supersonic Wave features a fine Kangaroo quilted upper and suede collar lining which really does give a luxurious fit. Thanks to Mizuno's running shoe heritage and developments, there is a strong technical edge to keep your foot secure for speed bursts and quick evasive turns.
The Wave element comes from Mizuno's Wave tech configuration which sits in the heel to offer stability and cushioning.
The
Mizuno Supersonic Wave Football Boots use Mizuno's lightest and most
innovative outsole to date - designed to deliver optimum flexibility, stability and
traction. The Supersonic Wave tips the scales at 215g per boot - another example of Mizuno packing plenty of tech into a lightweight package!
The outer case features softer grade PU to enhance
touch and feel. You can tell the quality and craftmanship that goes into making the Supersonic Wave, evident all across the boots.
Mizuno's "Tiger Claw" stud configuration features more running performance cross over, where the layout and design aims to improve acceleration and lateral stability. Featuring a dual density stud composition no matter how hard the ground gets this boot stays comfy and stable.
The Mizuno Supersonic Wave Football Boots are available to pre-order now ahead of a 1st July retail release. The top end model will set you back around £100 GBP / $150 USD. Don't worry if your budget doesn't stretch that far, as there is also the option of the Mizuno Sonic Classic or Mizuno Sonic Club, both reasonably priced take downs which feature the same look as the top end Supersonic Wave.
