Mizuno Keeps Things Sweet in New Wagashi Pack

Honouring the footwear label’s esteemed Japanese heritage, Mizuno unveils their latest creative endeavour, the Wagashi Pack. 

Cultivating inspiration from a type of traditional Japanese sweets called Wagashi, the capsule sees both iterations flaunting a variation of the handcrafted delicacy. Typically consumed alongside a nice cup of green tea, Wagashi holds significant meaning within the tea ceremony. It’s far more than just a sweet treat. Considered an art form (and rightly so), the candies flaunt their own beautifully crafted construction that’s just as crucial as the flavour.

A Closer Look at the Mizuno Wagashi Pack…

Wave Rider Beta ‘Smoke Green’ (D1GA2424 01) / Contender ‘Lavender Frost’ (D1GA2423 01)

Spotlighting the Wave Rider Beta and Contender for this offering, both iterations communicate the essence of Wagashi through a stunning concoction of colours and materials. A deep navy hue floods Mizuno’s iconic Runbird emblem, adorned by premium rubberised leather for a bold contrast. Staying true to the pastel palettes of the traditional Japanese sweet, the Beta adopts a ‘Smoke Green’ tone, whilst ‘Lavender Frost’ adorns the Contender. Finally, acting as the cherry on top to this picture perfect offering, each heel displays embossed foxings that depict the Kanji characters for Wagashi.
