Japanese sporting goods icon MIZUNO has unveiled the MORELIA LS — a lifestyle silhouette that carries the DNA of the MORELIA, one of the brand’s most beloved football boot lineages.Built on the foundation of the MORELIA GM IN, an indoor football shoe from the mid-2000s, the MORELIA LS has been reimagined for modern life while preserving the details that made the original iconic: the signature flap tongue, precise stitchwork, and refined heel construction. The result is a shoe that bridges football heritage and street sensibility.The slim-soled silhouette remains sharp and true to its roots, while MIZUNO’s proprietary cushioning technologies — MIZUNO ENERZY and MIZUNO WAVE — have been integrated for enhanced comfort underfoot. A rubber forefoot wrap adds stability, ensuring a ride that is both comfortable and performance-ready.To mark the launch of the MORELIA LS, Hypebeast sat down with Mason Mount — MIZUNO brand ambassador and Manchester United FC midfielder — during his visit to Japan. He spoke about the purpose of his trip, his impressions of Japanese craftsmanship, his philosophy on football, and what makes the MIZUNO α III JAPAN his boot of choice.The ideal is to forget you’re even wearing boots.
