The Contender by Mizuno is an iconic silhouette first released in 1995, drawing its design inspiration from Mizuno’s founder, Rhiachi Mizuno. This lightweight model was 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 mesh with suede 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.

The new classic 90s look creates a unique blend of casual style and sporty origin, great for everyday wear.
