Mizuno Wave Rider 10 "Fisherman"

Mizuno have been hard at work creating another pack inspired by their Japanese heritage, this time tapping into the vibrant fishing community of the Kyoto prefecture. Taking influence from the architecture of Ine Town, in which the two story buildings functioned as both a dock for boats and a room for the fisherman, the shoes in this pack constituci to emulate these structures with a two record colour scheme that creates two levels within the architecture of the shoe itself. The colours give off a nautical feeling, which runs in tandem with the fish illustrations present throughout the whole collection.

The Wave Rider 10 was launched for the neutral runner that seeks out cushioning and responsive wear in tandem. Beneath wide-set mesh and retro styling, Mizuno’s thermoplastic ‘Parallel Wave Technology’ insert is embedded into the very DNA of this silhouette. Hints of brown throughout the blue upper emulate the wooden structure of the Ine Town houses, a bone midsole adds some depth to the shoe and gives some separation to the composition. Each pair is executed with Runbird branding, humbling a  metallic finish whilst complimenting immense richness.
