Mizuno will launch "MIZUNO NEO VISTA 3," the latest model in the "MIZUNO NEO VISTA" super trainer series, which features high rebound, on June 19 at Mizuno official online stores, Mizuno direct stores, and some Mizuno running product retailers. The "MIZUNO NEO VISTA 3" has been completely redesigned to achieve a high level of "rebound," "stability," and "efficiency," which are important in running. By adopting a two-layer midsole structure and a new 3D-shaped plate, the design focuses on energy transfer during running. While maintaining the series' characteristic bounce, the design aims to reduce power loss, supporting long runs and situations where runners want to conserve leg strength. The domestic sales target is 15,000 pairs (within one year of launch).
Features of "MIZUNO NEO VISTA 3"
■ Achieving both bounce and stability
The overall sole thickness remains the same, but the balance between the top and bottom midsoles has been changed. The volume of the "MIZUNO ENERZY NXT" supercritical material used in the top midsole has been increased by 12% compared to the previous model*1. Furthermore, by reviewing the rubber placement around the forefoot of the outsole, it supports stable push-off and kick-off while maintaining a bouncy feel.

■ Pursuit of running efficiency
Similar to the previous model*1, the plate uses a nylon material containing glass fiber, and its structure has been updated to a 3D shape. This suppresses lateral sway during running and enables smooth center of gravity transfer through three support points. Furthermore, the fit has been improved by incorporating sponge in the heel part of the upper. The outsole rubber has a finer and deeper groove shape, enhancing grip. In addition, Mizuno's unique sole structure "SMOOTH SPEED ASSIST" continues to be installed. It reduces muscle strain around the calves and assists smooth midfoot running, thereby supporting efficient running*2.
*2 The "negative work of ankle plantarflexion torque," which is a general indicator of the eccentric contraction of the triceps surae muscle, was measured in an experiment using external subjects. The value of "negative work of ankle plantarflexion torque" was compared between products equipped with the Smooth Speed Assist function and non-equipped products (in-house) during midfoot and forefoot running at 12 km/h, confirming that the value was reduced in the equipped products.

■ Environmental considerations
"MIZUNO NEO VISTA 3" uses over 90% recycled materials for the textiles of the insole and shoelaces, demonstrating consideration for reducing environmental impact.
