Mizuno introduces a new running sneaker design that is constructed with the futuristic component created by the label -- the sole system features the INFINITY WAVE technology. The design was made in collaboration with textile experts Kawashima Co., Ltd.
The uppers are made with a 3D knit material that highlights advanced movement technology as it conforms to each wearer's foot shape. This also delivers lightweight elements and as additional support, there is arched heat tape. This is marked with the text that reads "Right Here, Right Now." The structure that sits at the bottom is perforated and accompanied by the large U4icX technology midsole. This spotlights padding that uniquely provides soft cushioning that stabilizes the foot and absorbs contact.
