Normally, I like to nerd out about one shoe at a time, but every once in a while, it helps to zoom out and take a look at a brand, as a whole. This is Mizuno Running, Spring 2026 (mostly)

Thank you Mike.
Yea!!!
Mizuno is such a weird brand to me. Some of their shoes I adore, others just don't work with me. But I'll always respect the fact that they're not afraid to try something new
Video 1 of Requesting a Review of the Neo Zen 2
I think with Neo Zen 2 you would have a different setup. Neo Zen 2 and HW Elite would probably be the 2 shoe rota and HW elite/pro and NZ2 and NV2 your 4 shoe rota. Maybe1
Another great from best reviewer. Kudos Mike.
I have both v1's for the Neo Vista and Neo Zen. Awesome for runs on the easy side of the training spectrum.
The Wave Rebellion pro 3 Low is amazing light, comfortable and bouncy
I ran 34 km in my Mizuno Wave Rider 29 yesterday. Such a comfortable shoe. Interested in trying something different from the brand. Thank you Kofuzi
