Mizuno introduces a look at its latest collaborative project designed with the help of artist Hiroshi Nagai. The capsule is comprised of three sneakers that are highlighted by pop art themes. It kicks off with the Wave Prophecy LS sneaker that is designed with a pastel tonal palette inspired by one of Nagai's artworks depicting pools.
As a result, it blends bright tones together in a non-intimidating manner. This is followed by the Wave Rider Beta, which sports a beige tonal palette at the base before it is detailed with blue at the top and tan closer to the bottom. It is rounded out by the Wave Mijun TL sneaker which is also muted. It is detailed in black and decorated with shaded tones closet to the sock liner.
