These Contender Mizuno’s boast an iconic silhouette first released in 1995. They draw their design inspiration from the Nikkapokka work wear from Japan and Mizuno’s founder Rhiachi Mizuno . This lightweight model is known for its stability and support, making it an ideal choice for runners seeking a well-cushioned shoe suitable for both on and off-road running.

The original upper combines a denim canvas with suede leather reinforcements, ensuring durability while maximizing comfort. The midsole features single-density compression-moulded EVA foam integrated with Mizuno’s Transpower technology in the heel, providing responsive cushioning and excellent shock absorption.
