Okay, we're at Mizuno with Shunsuki and
0:03
he's going to show us some early 2026.
0:06
Go ahead, Shinsuki.
0:07
Yeah, thank you for asking me. Yeah, I'm
0:10
Shinsuke working as a manager of the
0:12
product Mizuno running. So, today I want
0:14
to introduce new Mizuno Nen 2. So, first
0:17
of all, so we didn't we didn't change so
0:20
much the concept from Nen 1 to Nen 2.
0:23
It's still nice cushion and a responsive
0:26
and a lightweight elevated daily trainer
0:29
for us. Yeah. So probably this is a good
0:31
for little bit of bouncy running for
0:33
everyday and we have yeah very nice
0:36
lightweight.
0:37
Uh this time we change the most of the
0:40
upper and the missile. The first upper
0:43
is not the one piece knit.
0:45
Ah okay.
0:46
The first version we are using one piece
0:48
knit upper. It was good to produce a
0:51
very nice seamless fit. Yeah,
0:53
but on the other hand, so he counter was
0:55
a little bit Yeah. unstable. But this
0:57
time,
0:58
yeah, we have some more padding
1:00
and the heel counter to to make it a
1:02
more secure fitting.
1:03
Yeah.
1:04
But is it still a knit or not?
1:06
Yeah. Yeah. Only tongue area is a knit
1:08
material we are using.
1:10
Ah, this is a knit now.
1:11
Yeah. This is not
1:11
Oh, good. Good. I think that's good.
1:13
Yeah. Yeah. So, this is the combination
1:15
upper. The entire body is made with
1:18
engineered mesh. Yeah. It creates more
1:20
breathability.
1:21
Okay. and a nice soft fitting.
1:23
Yeah.
1:24
Yeah. Okay.
1:24
Yeah. So, longlasting comfort with a
1:26
stickier feet and the knit down uh knit
1:29
tong the lock down feeling
1:30
and a little bit more space in the for
1:32
with a blazability mesh.
1:34
This is a good one. Yeah.
1:36
Another one is a missile.
1:38
Yeah. Still this is a one piece missile
1:40
but we are using very nice material
1:42
premium material. It is a mizuna energy
1:45
next nitrogen infused bar material.
1:48
And what did we use last time?
1:50
Last time the nickname is the same.
1:52
Yeah.
1:52
But the different compound
1:54
you can't say what compound.
1:55
Yeah. So uh the first version was a TPU.
1:58
Okay. Right.
1:59
Second version the very special EVA.
2:01
Oh okay. Yeah.
2:02
Nitrogen.
2:03
Yeah. Nitrogen you can.
2:04
Okay. Good. Good.
2:05
And uh it has a very nice cushion and
2:07
response and uh it is contributing to
2:10
the lightweight. Yeah. And difference
2:12
between first version and the second
2:14
version is it's yeah a little bit
2:16
stability.
2:17
A little bit what?
2:18
Stability. Uh more stable.
2:20
Yeah, more stable. Yeah.
2:21
And the weight, what happened to the
2:22
weight?
2:22
Ah uh weight is a 10 um
2:26
heavier than first version. Slightly
2:27
heavier, but still it's uh 8.3 oz
2:31
in a nine.
2:32
Yeah. Yeah.
2:32
Fantastic. And under underneath.
2:34
Yeah. Underneath we Yeah. fill out the
2:36
all the glue on the forefoot. So means
2:39
more form on the foroot.
2:41
Yeah.
2:42
It contributing to the more stronger
2:43
kickoff.
2:44
Okay.
2:44
Yeah. And more form creates nice
2:46
responsive bouncy.
2:48
Excellent. heel area, we still have a
2:49
big glue.
2:50
Yeah.
2:50
It creates a nice cushion.
2:52
Yeah.
2:52
Yeah. The combination of nice cushion on
2:54
the heel area and the nice Yeah. kicking
2:56
off sensation on the forefoot creates
2:58
nice dance running sensation.
3:00
So, more response on
3:01
more responsive on the front
3:02
because there's more rubber now. I can't
3:04
remember.
3:04
Yeah. More rubber and more form on the
3:06
under foot.
3:06
Ah, good. Good.
3:07
Okay. What else do you have?
3:09
Yeah. So,
3:09
oh price and
3:11
price is 160 price point.
3:13
Oh, that's fair. In US? Yeah.
3:14
And when will it be available? Uh, this
3:16
