Militaristic Webbed Sneakers

Mizuno Adds a New Iteration of the Wave Rider 10 Silhouette

— May 21, 2020 — Fashion
Mizuno adds a new and captivating iteration of its Wave Rider 10 silhouette for the Spring season in a colorway that features Wood Ash and Flame Orange. The sneaker is exclusive to BEAMS and only available in Japan before it is set to launch wider.

The utilitarian model features design elements that are functional in terms of hiking purposes and features a militaristic retro design language as well. The upper is made from a blend of nylon and leather as a textural contrast throughout. There is also a prominent dusty hue of taupe before it is boldly contrasted with the Flame Orange hue and reflective 3M webbing. The rest of the shoe adds rubber material accents including the large tongue tag.
