Since its 2022 debut, "THE MIZUNO ENERZY ULTRA LIGHT" has been a runaway hit as a lightweight and comfy lifestyle shoe. Users rave that its lightness and unique cushioning are simply "addictive."
But it's not just about function—this model boasts a sleek design that's incredibly stylish. To uncover the secrets behind its appeal, we sat down with Ryo Endo from the Product Planning Department at Mizuno Corporation.

An "Addictive" Combination of Cushioning, Lightness, and Fit

Featuring a minimalist aesthetic with a laceless mesh upper and a fairly slim outsole, "THE MIZUNO ENERZY ULTRA LIGHT" is, to put it simply, a shoe with an "addictive" feel.
"THE MIZUNO ENERZY ULTRA LIGHT" is available in four models, each featuring a different combination of body and sole colors. 13,200 yen each (tax included).

Its standout feature is undoubtedly the sensation you get when your foot hits the ground, all thanks to Mizuno's signature high-rebound material.
"We've received feedback from many users that the unique, bouncy texture becomes 'addictive.'"
The sole incorporates two of Mizuno's proprietary technologies: "MIZUNO ENERZY CORE" and "MIZUNO ENERZY." Although it's in the lifestyle category, this shoe offers cushioning comparable to a high-performance running shoe.
