Hey Perth runners, lace up for some exciting news!
The Run Maker is thrilled to share an inside scoop on the new Mizuno range including the Neo Vista 2, dropping June 1, 2025, at SBR Collective.
This isn’t just another running shoe it’s set to be the best value-for-money release of the year, blending race-day speed with everyday comfort. Trust us, you’ll want to try these on before they sell out!
The Neo Vista 2 is Mizuno’s premium super trainer, packed with cutting-edge tech. Its nitrogen-infused ENERZY NXT midsole delivers a bouncy, responsive feel, perfect for everything from easy jogs to tempo runs.
The glass-fiber Wave Plate ensures smooth energy transitions, while the eco-friendly foam and knit upper provide supreme softness and a secure fit. Plus, Mizuno’s planting two trees per pair sold to offset carbon emissions sustainability meets performance.
I’ve been logging thousands of kilometers in my trusty Asics Kayanos, but the Neo Vista 2’s lightweight design and plush cushioning have me itching to switch things up. Whether you’re chasing a PB or joining a local Parkrun, this shoe’s versatility is unmatched.
