Beyond the Run

Mizuno finally fixed the Neo Vista's biggest flaw. We break down the new wave plate, the redesigned upper, and whether the Neo Vista 3 is worth $320 in 2026.

Mizuno's Hyperwarp Elite is a dual-layer, carbon-plated racing shoe built for track reps, 5km to 10km, and half marathon day. We put it through months of testing to see if the $400 price tag is worth it.

Mizuno rebuilt the Wave Rider from the ground up for its 30th anniversary - new dual-layer midsole, reworked upper, and a full-length wave plate for the first time ever. We break down whether the $260 update lives up to the hype.

The Mizuno Neo Zen 2 fixes the biggest complaint from the V1 and delivers a smoother, more stable daily trainer for 2026. With nitrogen-infused EVA foam, an excellent upper, and a $240 price tag, this is one of the best value running shoes on the market right now.
