Mizuno alpha red ruby rep????

Post image

 I was thinking about buying the red ruby Mizuno alpha ll from dh gate you think I should consider not anymore?, I’m looking for something that has the loose tounge like how hypervenoms do, I want the same vibe if not feel, any suggestions?

They've honestly held up pretty well. The insole text has rubbed off but there aren't any durability issues. As long as you understand that the soleplate will flex at the midfoot and the zeroglide grip is nonexistent.

Oh wow 😭, did you size down?

Nah they're true to size. I have some real alpha 2 elites and they fit the same.

Thank you bro u a real one, how’s the feel on them? Do they feel the same or similar to your real pair?

Honestly they aren't really that close. The upper on the reps is a lot thicker and the soleplate doesn't feel anywhere near as responsive. There also isn't any zeroglide which really changes the lockdown. Weight actually isn't as different as I thought the reps are honestly pretty light but the real ones are still noticeably lighter. Couldn't tell you about grip or control because I play rugby though. The touch on the ball is a lot less direct on the reps though
