The UNOZERO Modelo 1.0 is an elite soccer boot made from full kangaroo leather, and it was the brand's first model in 2019. Reviewers highlight a strong, close touch and careful handmade construction. Its traditional leather build and high price make it a poor choice for players who want a modern speed boot.
Released in 2019 as the brand's first-generation model, the Modelo 1.0 sits in UNOZERO's elite tier and was launched in May 2019.
The upper is full kangaroo leather (K-leather). The construction is a traditional leather build rather than a synthetic or molded knit upper. The stated weight is 267 g per shoe.
The soleplate is a stitched firm-ground outsole with a mix of bladed and conical studs. It is intended for natural firm grass and newer-generation artificial grass often called 3G+.
UNOZERO's sizing guidance recommends going about a half-size down compared with Nike. The boot is aimed at match use and at players who prefer leather feel and boutique craftsmanship.
The Modelo 1.0 targets serious footballers who prefer a traditional leather touch and handcrafted build. It is mainly aimed at central midfielders and defenders who need reliable ball control and a stable platform. The full kangaroo upper and 267 g weight put it in a control and touch category rather than a modern speed category.
Wingers and pace-first forwards should consider lighter, synthetic speed boots instead.
Players who value boutique craftsmanship and who mostly play on natural firm ground or 3G+ turf will find this model suitable. Buyers who want a lower price or who need aggressive stud setups for specialist artificial turf play should look elsewhere.
Reviewer evidence rates durability positively. SoccerCleats101 gave an 8/10 and called the boots "handmade in Italy."

Touch is a headline characteristic. SoccerCleats101 scored the Modelo 1.0 8/10 and highlighted the full kangaroo leather upper and stitching details that improve ball contact.
In practice, the kangaroo leather and targeted stitching create a close, tactile strike and a control-oriented feel. This suits players who prioritize touch over features like synthetic stretch or ultra-thin uppers.

SoccerCleats101 gave the boot a 7/10 for comfort and described them as "very well balance," meaning the boots feel even and stable on the foot. The feel is not described as having thick cushioning or a molded, foot-hugging knit.
The available evidence points to a comfortable, balanced fit for match play. The single review leaves questions about long-term break-in and how the fit works across many foot shapes.
