Mizuno Wave Ignitus 2 Football Boots - Black/Gun Metal/Gold
Mizuno introduce the latest colour update for their Wave Ignitus II football boots. It's an all dark outer skin and chassis, accentuated with gold branding and gun metal Mukaiten bio-panels, for the slickest looking Ignitus to date...
The boot is dressed to match any playing kit with it's dark tones, but offers an edgy classiness which stands-out thanks to gold and metallic detailing. In an age where being bright is being seen, it's a confident move by Mizuno and one which might please your more traditional boot fan.
Originally introduced in 2010, the Wave Ignitus cleats are now in their second generation, but much of the original innovation remains. A combination of natural and synthetic materials delivers a comfortable and powerful performance on pitch, with the talisman being Japanese star Keisuke Honda.
As the name suggests, when striking the ball you're igniting a reaction between the boot and ball. Mizuno have developed their Mukaiten panel through the Bio Vamps, to feature an aggressive design for generating increased friction and control at ball contact, integrated into the lacing system to enlarge the striking area.
Mizuno continue their pedigree of quality leather uppers, a precedent set out by their famed Morelia range. The use of premium natural material across the Ignitus is one that distinguishes it from the likes of the adidas Predator, and is one of it's strongest assets. The k-leather provides a luxurious, comfortable feel with soft padding.
To deliver lightweight speed traction, Mizuno use a unique outsole incorporating Wave technology, a tech borrowed from their running department. The Wave tech improves cushioning and stability in the outsole which combined with the bladed stud configuration delivers unrivalled traction. The triple Pebax density heel counter also offers improved fit, comfort and improves protection from serious injury.
Unquestionably the classiest release we've seen for the Mizuno Wave Ignitus II football boots, the Black/Gun Metal/Gold versions are a December release and will retail worldwide for around £120 GBP / $190 USD / €185 EURO. Let us know what you think of the boots.
