We care for our Habitat.

We want athletes to feel connected with the environment and their surroundings.

Our solution: To have a positive contribution to our planet through the choices we make. 

The Wave Neo Collection does just that. For every pair sold, our partner the National Forest Foundation, is planting two trees. These trees will in turn capture carbon from our atmosphere, and will also be an integral part of the ecosystem. To not only contribute to the well being of humans, but to other forms of life from beneath the soil up unto the perches of the trees!

Our valued partner.

We've partnered with the National Forest Foundation, an American non-profit organisation. Their goal is to promote the health and public enjoyment of 193 million acres of the National Forest System.

With their help, our aim is to reforest land that has been affected by wildfire, floods or hurricanes. Reforestation is one of the essential tools in our battle to tackle climate change. By purchasing the Wave Neo Ultra or Wave Neo Wind, you are directly helping this cause. Help grow and protect our forests for future generations - through the power of sport!

Innovative Materials: MIZUNO ENERZY

How are we able to achieve a propulsive and floating running experience?

The fact is that our designers and engineers create every sensation and active response, through extensive research and development. MIZUNO ENERZY is a highly responsive material that is integrated into the sole of your shoe. It delivers a high energy response while maintaining softness, as well as a bouncy sensation while you run.

Innovative Materials: Mizuno Wave

MIZUNO WAVE on the other hand provides both high cushioning and stability. The MIZUNO WAVE is the product of years of research into materials that add structure and rigidity to the soles of your shoes.

These two materials combined allow for runners to feel a propulsive sensation which amounts to a uniqe characteristic - giving an edge to the Wave Neo series.

PERFORMANCE.


Want to make history? Both the Wave Neo Wind and Wave Neo Ultra were designed with our environment in mind and are the most environmentally friendly shoes Mizuno has produced to date! We have calculated the product life-cycle's CO2 emissions (from materials to product disposal).

Not only are we using innovative materials to limit our impact on the environment, we are also offsetting our carbon footprint by planting two trees for every pair sold.

ECO FRIENDLY.


We've started from scratch to ensure that the use of innovative materials seamlessly integrate into both high performance shoes. Over 60% of material for the Wave Neo Wind and 70% of the Wave Neo Ultra were sourced from eco friendly materials.*

In addition to our choice of materials; we were also determined to minimise our use of water. By using an undyed upper knit material - we were able to reduce our use of water by 100% - in comparison to standard dyeing processes.*

INNOVATIVE MATERIAL.


We've used Bloom™, an algae-based material, for our midsole and sock liner; along with Pebax®  Rnew®  into parts of the midsole. The process of sourcing Bloom™ cleans water, lessens CO2 emissions and most importantly is derived from a naturally occurring organic material. Pebax®  Rnew®  is made from Caster Beans, and is a plant-based material.

ENVIRONMENT.


Now you are part of the solution! Remember how we mentioned that we calculated our carbon impact?

Well we've fastidiously done our homework. We've calculated the carbon impact of each pair sold, chosen the right materials to limit carbon emissions. And what else? We are planting two trees for each pair sold to offset our impact on the planet!

RESEARCH.


We've taken every step seriously. To verify our research we asked DNV to ensure that our numbers are verified. You can view our DNV verfication here.
