Engineering:Mizuno Morelia
The Morelia range of football boot, the first of which was released in 1985, is designed and produced by Mizuno of Osaka , Japan . The boot has gone through slight changes since its original release.[1] The Morelia has a quilted kangaroo leather upper.
Variations
The Morelia II exists in four sole plates ; MD - (moulded), SI - (screw-in), TM - (artificial turf/hard ground) and AS - (astroturf).[2]
In addition there are two other variations on the Morelia theme: the "Classic", of a similar design but using calf leather, and the "Club", which utilises synthetic leather.
The original Morelia was joined in the 2010s by the updated and more modern design of the Morelia Neo.
