Founded in Osaka in 1906 by two brothers eager to bring American culture to their country, the brand Mizuno initially focused on baseball equipment. In 1928, Mizuno shoes for athletics were introduced, featuring spikes. The quest for excellence began, and Mizuno Brothers Ltd. diversified to include aviation and tennis rackets. In 1972, Mizuno launched the M-Line shoe, followed by the legendary Runbird Athletics in 1983. Since then, the Japanese brand has significantly expanded, offering a wide range of quality shoes backed by 115 years of experience. This is exemplified by the Wave Rider 25, with its first edition dating back to 1997, and the well-known Wave Mujin 8, a trail shoe.
To take on new challenges and go further, Mizuno running shoes are versatile and mostly equipped with the Wave sole, the brand's flagship technology. Comfortable and fitted, they also feature additional cushioning at the heel for a wonderfully pleasant flexibility. For example, the Wave Sky Neo 2 is a men's running shoe with a soft landing and optimal rebound thanks to the Enerzy material integrated into the sole. The Xpop foam, slightly firmer than the usual Wave sole, reduces running effort. Meanwhile, the Wave Ultima 12 is a lightweight women's running shoe that provides optimal shock absorption thanks to its midsole. Stable and durable, they are equipped with an X10 rubber outsole and Smooth Ride technology for smooth outings.
Designed to tackle all trails, from the most technical to the steepest, Mizuno trail shoes combine expertise and technology. For instance, the Wave Daichi 6 is perfect for daily use over medium distances. The Concave Wave technology provides essential stability for trail running, while the flexibility of the sole ensures adaptability for exploring all terrains. Complemented by Michelin outsoles with multidirectional grip, these men's trail shoes can handle any terrain. In another vein, the Wave Mujin 8 is the ultimate weapon for female runners who value comfort even in the toughest environments. The Mizuno Enerzy foam provides excellent cushioning and optimal energy return. The eighth edition of these women's trail shoes, this lightweight and stable pair is perfect for all trails.
