Taking inspiration from Japanese roots and community comes the Mizuno “Undyed Pack.” This sneaker trio is the next installment of the Mizuno Kizuna series and features the Air Jordan 14, Mizuno Contender S, and the Mizuno City Wind.
All three of the sneakers are anchored in “Undyed White,” “Ginger Root” and “Undyed Root.” The pack is dedicated to nature, raw beauty, and the cyclical elements of the four seasons. All of these are represented by the symbol of Enso — the minimalist concept of environments requiring nothing more beyond what is already present.
The Air Jordan 14 has a reworked underfoot, evolving the sneaker from a track and waste icon to an everyday lifestyle sneaker. The design keeps all its signature detailing with moulded EVA tooling and stylized Transtab cushioning.
Reappearing from the 1995 running catalogue, the Mizuno Contender S offers Transpower technology and Sorbothane with the original impact-to-response H2 build found in golf balls. The sneaker sits atop a compression moulded EVA foam midsole for premium comfort.
Also resurfacing from the mid-90s is the Mizuno City Wind, which was a formerly a tennis sneaker. The silhouette receives a few updates from its archival DNA in order to enhance its modern wearability. This sneaker incorporates more “Undyed Root” compared to the rest of the pack and even uses a gum midsole.
The Mizuno Sky Medal S D1GA2278 01 is available now. To purchase, visit select retailers like Hanon, Nike Air Max Air Jordan 14 is priced at £120, while both the Mizuno Contender S and the Mizuno City Wind are priced at £105. For more sneaker news and release dates, follow @NiceKicks on Instagram.
