A return to the 90s running aesthetic - Mizuno Contender
The Mizuno Contender harkens back to the iconic running sneaker style of the 90s, combining a vintage look with modern comfort. The upper is a combination of mesh, suede and synthetic panels that give the shoe a premium retro vibe. A midsole made of lightweight EVA foam provides nice cushioning, while a rubber outsole with a classic pattern offers reliable grip for the city. The Contender's light weight and soft construction make them ideal for everyday wear, lifestyle styling or leisure. Perfect for retro fashion lovers and fans of simple, comfortable sneakers. Outfit tips: loose fitting jeans, straight-fit trousers, varsity jacket, hoodie or retro sweatshirt.
Materials
Upper
Suede: leather cut from the back, while the fibers remain on the surface, suede is less prone to damage than nubuck.
Leather: is perhaps the best material for the production of footwear - maintains its shape, it is breathable and the list of its positive properties is far from ending.
Textile: is a lightweight material, which is offered in a very wide color scale and is mainly used for summer footwear.
Sole
Rubber: a material that is very easy to maintain and you will appreciate it especially in rainy weather.
Mizuno was originally founded as Mizuno Brothers, Ltd. in 1906 by Rihachi Mizuno and his younger brother Rizo in Osaka. The store began by selling Western merchandise, including baseballs, and later expanded to offer custom sportswear and footwear.
In 1933, Mizuno introduced the Star Line, the first Japanese-made golf clubs. During World War II, Mizuno contributed to Japan's war effort by producing military ammunition. In 1961, the first American factory, known as American Mizuno, was established in Los Angeles.
