MIZUNO NEO ZEN 2

Daily TrainerReleased 2026-01-16JP

MIZUNO NEO ZEN 2 is a lightweight, plateless daily trainer for easy mileage and faster runs. It keeps the original model's bouncy focus while revising MIZUNO ENERZY NXT, forefoot rubber coverage, and rearfoot geometry to improve stability. Engineered mesh and knit form the upper, while extra heel-counter padding improves hold. SMOOTH SPEED ASSIST supports efficient transitions, and X10 rubber handles daily wear.
