Durable Terrain-Focused Sneakers

Mizuno Debuts the New 'Wave Mujin TL GTX' for Spring/Summer 2023

— March 6, 2023 — Fashion
Japanese footwear brand Mizuno has launched its ‘Wave Mujin TL GTX,’ a new silhouette for Spring/Summer 2023. Its leather accents were added using an innovative thermo-transfer layering method. The new design combines a road running upper with a trail performance sole to create a flexible and durable shoe that can be worn on various surfaces. The shoe boasts GORE-TEX fabric on the uppers, camouflage detailing, and a trail sole in ‘Optical White.’

The campaign sees the brand travel to see the gorgeous landscapes of Italy from the top of the Etna volcano. The photo shoot combines the volcanic scenery and the power of nature with the earthy and impartial color scheme of the new Mizuno designs.
