Choosing your Mizuno running shoes
The history of the Mizuno Group began at the turn of the century when, in 1906, Rihachi Mizuno founded his company in Osaka to import baseball equipment. For over a century, Mizuno has been the Japanese market leader in sports goods. The brand is present in more than 60 countries worldwide and its equipment covers many sport categories : running, but also handball, volleyball, judo, tennis, golf, rugby... Its research and development department, based in Osaka, strives to meet the highest standards of sports performance.
The Japanese company designs high-performance running shoes with the aim of continuously improving cushioning, energy return, stability, durability... The Mizuno running team is composed of renowned athletes such as Julien Devanne, double French half-marathon and marathon champion in 2019, or Mélanie Doutard, 2018 French 5km champion.
Mizuno running shoe categories: a sensory approach
MIZUNO shoes are defined in three categories, associated with 3 feelings: comfort, propulsion and stability.
Comfort
Full cushioning and softness
Propulsion
Softness in the landing phase and dynamism in the recovery phase
Stability
Feeling of support during the stance phase and reactivity throughout the foot's development
Mizuno's two revolutionary technologies
The Wave Plate
The Wave plate is an all-in-one concept combining 3 key functions: cushioning, dynamism and stability. It disperses the shock wave like a shock absorber and offers an immediate energy return, thus generating a more dynamic cushioning sensation.
1. The Pebax shape memory plate: inserted between 2 layers of EVA, it deforms on impact and always returns to its initial shape, thus providing stability ;
2. It disperses the shock wave like a shock absorber and offers an immediate energy return, thus generating a more dynamic cushioning sensation ;
3. Together with the horseshoe system (shape of the sole at the heel), it protects the heel spur by dispersing the shock wave around the heel and not in the centre.
MIZUNO Enerzy technology
The ENERZY technology offers a higher energy return and flexibility than any other running shoe on the market.
