Fashion imprint Mizuno brings some life back to the Wave Prophecy Moc sneaker model which is a fusion between a running shoe at the sole unit which supports the more formal moccasin style upper. The upper boasts a premium build with a leather construction reminiscent of a more formal design.
The hybrid model has a futuristic look that is both a performance style and a loafer style. It has a dynamic sole unit with the structure and at a closer glance, there are some laces at the forefoot as well. Other details include the heel pull tab at the back of the shoe for better accessibility and fine stitching details to round it all out.
