Mizuno Unisex Shoe S.l. Contender Pristine/tradewinds/india Ink Maat: 38 | Sneakers Outlet | Unisex | Grijs

The contender is an archive silhouette which was originally released in 1995, featuring design ideas from mizuno’s founder, rhiachi mizuno

This was a lightweight style characterized by stability and support, created for entry level runners who were looking for a well cushioned shoe suitable to run on or off road

For the upper, the original contender combined mesh with suede reinforcements for a durable construction whilst maintaining maximum comfort

The midsole is a single density compression moulded eva foam with mizuno’s transpower technology in the heel, a highly responsive foam insert that also provides shock absorption and added cushioning

For the outsole, a new one-piece solid rubber was used with forefoot flex grooves for a smoother transition from heel to toe

The 90 classic look and the balanced way the matte mesh and suede are alternated create a unique mix between a casual feel and the sporty origins of this silhouette

In ss25, contender s carries the same material execution as the previous season, mixing suede and synthetic suede, with white base, tonal overlay and contrasted colour runbird.
