Mizuno unveils its latest 2000s running inspired collection, the MXR. Drawing inspiration from the Maximizer lineage – a series of technical runners from the early 2000s – the MXR captures the era’s retro tech and tooling, balancing the Japanese label’s tradition with innovation. The perfect fusion of performance and sportstyle if you ask us.

The MXR collection is set to debut with three distinctive iterations: the MXR Sport, the MXR Casual, and the MXR Tech, each showcasing a unique mix of colourways and materials. The spotlight falls first on the MXR Sport. Here we see a mixed material execution crafted from ‘Snow White’ porous mesh and interrupted gracefully by slices of silver leather on the uppers. As always, Mizuno’s meticulous commitment to detail is clear through the debossed quarters, patterned tapes at the heel and lacing component.

Branding gets etched onto the tongue in a contrasting tone to the Runbird insignia at the sidewalls that’s dipped in ‘Magnet’ and ‘Majolica Blue’ and concluding the lowers is a sticky rubber outsole for the final touch to this lifestyle offering.
