Mizuno Neo Zen Running Shoes
Optimised for effortless running, the Neo Zen features Smooth Speed Assist technology that was developed for racing shoes. Now added to daily trainers, this technology will help you achieve your ideal running form for maximum efficiency. This unique asymmetrical design expresses the "Blue Demon" who calmly keeps pace and the "Red Demon" who pushes themself to the limits with passion.
Knit Upper
The upper of the Neo Zen is made using a knit material which is ultra-lightweight and allows for a high level of breathability and comfort. The soft knit wraps around your foot, adapting to its shape and providing a sock-like fit for additional comfort throughout wear. It offers a secure and comfortable fit and design that moves with your foot throughout the gait cycle for improved comfort and performance. The integrated knit tongue enhances the upper's seamless construction and helps reduce any chafing or irritation. A traditional lacing system anchors the shoe to the foot securely for increased stability and control while a heel tab allows for easy carry and assists in on/off. Part of Mizuno's ONIHAYAI pack, this special edition of the Neo Zen features the unique, "oni" pattern dynamic graphic. It's a limited asymmetrical colour design that combines the "calm blue" to keep the pace, and the "passionate red" for pushing yourself to your limits.
More than 90% of the upper body lining textile and sockliner lining is made from recycled content.
Enerzy NXT Midsole
Featuring Mizuno's nitrogen-infused technology, Mizuno Enerzy NXT, the midsole provides an extremely soft and bouncy feeling. Mizuno Enerzy NXT is the next-generation material and is ultra soft, responsive and assists in the next level of performance. This technology is lighter than previous Enerzy midsoles, featuring a greater level of cushioning and enabling more output so you can keep pushing for much longer. Also residing in the midsole is Mizuno's signature geometry, Smooth Speed Assist, which is utilised in their top racing models and designed for maximum performance. This Smooth Speed Assist technology helps to achieve an efficient running form on daily runs.
X10 Outsole
The outsole of the Neo Zen has been made using X10, a durable carbon rubber which allows for longer wear in high-impact areas and supplements traction at the heel. This helps to lessen the impact placed on the knees and joints, allowing for a more comfortable ride as well as optimising gait efficiency. The outsole also ensures maximum grip and traction for a firm, assured footing so you can run with confidence and push yourself to the limit, time and time again.
