Mizuno works in collaboration with New York Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanahiro on the new MTXIX pack that adorns the signature Mondo Control model. The shoe invites decorative creativity with its DIY culture of customizable sensibilities at the logo on the side.
The uppers are complete in a sleek black hue before it is detailed with leather, mesh, and rubber materials to provide a sense of comfort and support without disrupting the durability. The shoes also feature a tongue crafted from soft neoprene materials before it is accented with tonal laces and eyelet panels informed by black leather materials. The lateral side stripe is complete with a velcro lining so that wearers can alternate between the logo tonal options of yellow, red, purple, and pink.
