The last time we had the chance to talk to the staff of Mizuno Europe, they already let us know that this summer 2020, the Japanese brand had a big surprise in store for us. A surprise that goes by the name of MIZUNO ENERZY, the revolutionary cushioning technology with an energy return never seen before. All of this is combined with maximum comfort in every step.
Thus, in the R&D department of the renowned Osaka brand, activity has been frenetic. A whole period of tests, trials, development and innovation has led to MIZUNO ENERZY seeing the light of day, marking a before and after in the long history of the Japanese manufacturer. The innovative MIZUNO ENERZY concept is embodied in the construction of a more reactive and durable midsole, while at the same time being able to provide extreme smoothnessin each stride you take.
Symptomatic of the fact that a new era in Mizuno has arrived is that this new MIZUNO ENERZY foam offers up to 17% more cushioning and up to 15% more energy return compared to Mizuno's other leading materials.
MIZUNO ENERZY, its keys and benefits applied to running
Since Mizuno has been Mizuno, we have become accustomed to the balanced combination of cushioning and stability that the well-known Wave platform presents in all its Running shoes. This genuine running experience, also applied with the extensive knowledge of other sports disciplines - such as handball, soccer, volleyball, and even paddle - make this technology MIZUNO ENERZY land on the market with the firm commitment to improve the performance of all types of athletes. The keys are none other than:
Ensuring a higher degree of energy return.
Increasing the level of durability.
Maximize the feeling of comfort.
"We are constantly researching to improve the performance of athletes and MIZUNO ENERZY is a material developed for that purpose. It is very complete thanks to its cushioning properties, reactivity and durability, as well as allowing very little energy loss. Already in the first tests it became clear that it is a material of a superior level. Words from Akira Morita, developer of MIZUNO ENERZY. That said.
MIZUNO ENERZY CORE, maximizing the runner's experience
However, this revolution does not stop there, because the surprise is completed with another material that goes hand in hand with MIZUNO ENERZY. We are talking about MIZUNO ENERZY CORE, a compound capable of increasing all the virtues that MIZUNO ENERZY technology can bring to the runner. In terms of data, this translates into up to 56% more energy return and up to 293% more cushioning compared to other materials from the brand.
By the way, a detail that we should not forget, thinking about the constant improvement of the runner, the best of this double technological bet of Mizuno is that both MIZUNO ENERZY and MIZUNO ENERZY CORE foams are totally complementary. In fact, only some of the Osaka company's flagship models will have it implemented.
Thus, the ENERZY CORE concept is located in the internal area of the midsole, while the MIZUNO ENERZY technology can be implemented in any part of the shoe, which demonstrates the great versatility of this material.
With all of the above, from Runnea we can already announce that this new Mizuno revolution will be present in some of the most anticipated releases of the Japanese brand for the rest of the year. In the legendary Mizuno Wave Rider 24; in the best-selling Mizuno Wave Sky 4; and even in new models that appear on the horizon, such as the Mizuno Sky Neo and Mizuno Rider Neo.
Thus, the new MIZUNO ENERZY concept develops a new technology that embodies the latest and most advanced in terms of rebound and cushioning capacity.
