Mizuno is an independent, publicly listed Japanese sportswear and equipment maker founded in Osaka in 1906 by brothers Rihachi and Rizo Mizuno, who began selling Western goods and baseballs before moving into made-to-order athletic wear in 1907 and its first baseball glove in 1913. It builds running shoes around its Wave plate cushioning, plus baseball gloves, golf irons, volleyball and football gear. Its Sportstyle line reworks archive runners for the streetwear market, and the brand appears in sneaker collaborations with independent boutiques and designers.

Does Mizuno run big or small?
Mizuno runs small. Size up one from your usual US/EU size on Japanese-market or performance pieces, and stay true to size only if you want a genuinely close athletic fit. Shoppers generally report Mizuno apparel following Japanese sizing conventions, so a given letter size tends to run about one size smaller and slimmer than comparable Western sportswear, with Western-distributed and Sportstyle pieces sitting closer to true to size.
