Product Features Men\'s shoes Suede and mesh uppers Lace fastening Mizuno branding Style - D1GA236927-PRI Stylist Notes The Mizuno Contender is a heritage running silhouette first introduced in 1995, inspired by the visionary design ethos of Mizuno’s founder, Rihachi Mizuno. Engineered as a lightweight yet supportive option, this model was tailored for entry-level runners seeking a well-cushioned shoe suitable for both road and off-road terrain. The original Contender’s upper seamlessly blended breathable mesh with suede reinforcements, ensuring a durable yet comfortable construction. Underfoot, the midsole featured a single-density compression-moulded EVA foam, incorporating Mizuno’s Transpower technology in the heela responsive insert designed to enhance shock absorption and cushioning. The outsole utilised a one-piece solid rubber design with strategically placed forefoot flex grooves, promoting a smoother heel-to-toe transition. With its timeless ‘90s aesthetic, the Contender strikes a perfect balance between casual style and its athletic heritage. The thoughtful combination of canvas mesh and premium suede enhances its vintage appeal, while its tonal colour paletteoften accented with subtle contrasts or distinctive sole detailingadds to its understated yet striking look.
