A Contemporary Take on the Sneaker Loafer
The sneaker loafer movement is in full effect and it is one of the most surprising trends in fashion. The Moc design isn’t just another hybrid mashup, but an evolution of Mizuno’s style. Drawing inspiration from the brand’s Infinity Ring Moc from the mid-2000s, this iteration follows a sand-toned, crimped suede upper paired with an elastic-fastened tongue construction and dual pull tabs. Beneath this Mizuno’s iconic Infinity Wave midsole is noticeable.
Structural Design
Mizuno’s strength has always been in engineering, but its Sportstyle Division knows that customers value design emotions as much as technological design. The Wave Prophecy Moc is built with precision. It blurs the line between a lifestyle sneaker and a sportstyle sneaker, in a tactically chosen taupe suede material. Combine this with the tonal accents and the organic shape and you get a versatile pair.
A Reinvention of Nostalgia
Longtime Mizuno fans might get a sense of nostalgia seeing the Wave Prophecy Moc, this pair draws inspiration from Mizuno’s experimental runs of the early 2000’s, back when shoes challenged what performance footwear meant and could look like. The Wave Prophecy Moc returns at the intersection of heritage and future, sport and office, sneaker and classic shoe. It is a bold mix of both worlds. The iconic Infinity Wave midsole is still as futuristic as when it was first revealed.
