"A solid run" knit upper shoes was born here -.
Although many running shoes equipped with knit upper have been released from other companies until now, "WAVEKNIT R1 (Wave Knit Art One)" developed by Mizuno this time has been devised by the unique company.
Running shoes "WAVEKNIT R1 (Black × White)"
In general, the knit material is evaluated for its lightness and breathability, soft and comfortable comfort in addition to its good design.
However, in order to improve the fitting property, softness is made too much and the holding property is insufficient, or fitting property is impaired by using a hard material in order to obtain the holding property.
In that respect, the shoe has a knitted pattern of different thickness on the side of the upper part of the knitted material, so that it is compatible with fitness as well as good holdability as wearing socks.
