Mizuno Unisex Neo Zen 2 Running Shoes - Origami Black/Gold

The Mizuno Neo Zen 2 Running Shoes in Origami Black / Gold are designed for runners who want lightweight performance, responsive cushioning, and a smooth, efficient ride for daily training and faster-paced runs. Built as a versatile lightweight daily trainer, the Neo Zen 2 combines modern design with advanced Mizuno technology to deliver a balanced blend of comfort, stability, and energy return. At the core of the shoe is MIZUNO ENERZY NXT, the next generation of Mizuno’s performance midsole foam engineered to maximize cushioning and responsiveness while maintaining a connected ground feel. With a 40.5 mm heel stack and 34.5 mm forefoot stack, the Neo Zen 2 offers high-stack comfort while maintaining a 6 mm drop that promotes a natural and efficient stride. The shoe also incorporates Smooth Speed Assist geometry, which helps guide the foot through a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off for improved running efficiency. The upper features a redesigned combination of breathable engineered mesh and stretchy knit construction, creating a secure yet adaptable fit that works well for a wide range of foot shapes while enhancing airflow during longer runs. Lightweight yet durable, the Neo Zen 2 weighs approximately 8.6 oz (size 9), making it a strong option for daily mileage, tempo efforts, and everything in between. Built with eco-friendly recycled materials, the shoe also supports Mizuno’s commitment to more sustainable performance footwear.
