Mizuno's new Alpha III football boots introduce a revolutionary change for the Japanese brand, finally adopting a technology that competitors like Nike and Adidas have utilized for years.
The biggest headline for the Alpha 3 is the upper. For the first time in the history of Mizuno's football line, the Alpha series adopts a full knit upper.
Moving away from traditional synthetics, this new material is designed with obsessive precision to wrap the foot with natural confidence. While the upper is a massive shift, the boot retains the beloved detached tongue and the overall sleek silhouette that fans of the Alpha 2 appreciated.
