A new year means fresh starts. So for 2023, Mizuno brings their traditional craftsmanship and technology advances to a new silhouette that still houses those distinct Mizuno touches, the Wave Rider Beta.

Looking back at the long Wave Rider Lineage, Mizuno’s newest silhouette is not only a tribute but also a futuristic take on where the Wave Rider is going. Always a lifestyle take on a running option, the Beta utilises the midsole from their best-selling running shoe to date, the Wave Rider 26. This offers a higher stack height to the silhouette bringing a chunky, more playful approach to what is a typical streamlined upper and it’s the upper there you’ll find those traditional, more craftsmanship levels of details. A mixture of suede and mesh overlays work their way across the upper that’s more reminiscent of the Wave Riders before it with elements from the eight, ninth, tenth and eleventh being a feature.

To celebrate this newest silhouette, we worked with East London-based couple Dominika and James to style the two introduction colour ways.
