Technology and comfort in the Mizuno Neo Zen
The Mizuno Neo Zen features the updated MIZUNO ENERZY NXT midsole. This technology ensures a smooth transition from heel to forefoot. With every step, it gives energy back to you. The material is more responsive and lighter than earlier versions. This results in an almost effortless stride and greater support over longer distances. Because the shoe offers neutral support, it aligns well with the foot’s natural movement without correcting it.
The biggest advantage of this midsole is the combination of cushioning and direct feedback. You get more comfort underfoot without sacrificing speed or stability. This is especially beneficial during higher pace runs or more intense training blocks. At the same time, the breathable upper adds extra comfort, keeping your feet cool even if your session runs longer than planned.

Perfect running feel with the Neo Zen
What sets the Mizuno Neo Zen apart from other shoes is its direct and lightweight feel. Thanks to the responsive foam in the sole, it absorbs impact effectively.

The foot rolls off the ground smoothly, supporting a natural gait. This makes the model suitable for both easy-paced runs and faster sessions. The shoe is also highly versatile. You can wear it for your daily training runs, interval sessions, or even your next race.
Benefits for different types of runners
