Back in 2024, Mizuno Sportstyle shook the footwear world with the introduction of the Wave Prophecy Moc, a silhouette that redefined the boundary between sneakers and formalwear. Immediately after its launch, the sneaker sold out almost instantly.
By mixing Mizuno’s innovative performance technology with a sophisticated aesthetic, the Wave Prophecy Moc established itself as a statement piece. It represents Mizuno’s commitment to elevating performance footwear into the realm of everyday luxury.
Mizuno’s Vision
Following the initial success, Mizuno expanded the Wave Prophecy Moc range with premium suede iterations, featuring warm brown and neutral tones, as well as a Gore-Tex winter-ready version.
The SS26 release marks a return to the silhouette’s original inspiration, a naturally aspirated, all-black leather and suede palette. It isn’t just a nod to heritage, but a celebration of one of Mizuno’s most successful modern styles. It also offers a second chance for collectors and enthusiasts who missed the original release.
The SS26 Wave Prophecy Moc comes wifh a lot of subtle updates. The black cotton laxes replace the white set from the original launch. In addition, the sneaker includes secondary lock-fastened rope laces, a feature inspired by the technical Gore-Tex variants. This dual-lacing systems allows customization. Underneath the premium leather upper, the sneaker features iconic Infinity Wave midsole technology.
