Mizuno unisex. D1GA2510 Cordura shoes black (43), Flat, Laces, Casual

The Contender is an archive silhouette which was originally released in 1995, featuring design ideas from Mizuno’s founder, Rhiachi Mizuno. This was a lightweight style characterized by stability and support, created for entry level runners who were looking for a well cushioned shoe suitable to run on or off road.For the upper, the original Contender combined mesh with suede reinforcements for a durable construction whilst maintaining maximum comfort. This new, Tier 1 update for 2025 has been maxed out with premium pig skin suede paneling and a Cordura mesh upper providing a tough exterior for everyday wear. As you would expect, the iconic Cordura branded tab is located on the side of each pair along with other top tier additions like reflective 3M laces and a 3M panel on the heel for added visibility at night. The midsole is a single density compression moulded EVA foam with Mizuno’s Transpower technology in the heel, a highly responsive foam insert that also provides shock absorption
