Did you know that MIZUNO was originally founded in Japan over 100 years ago to manufacture baseball apparel and thus establish the American sport in Japan? From this idea, however, a manufacturer developed whose innovative running shoes literally went "through the roof". The legendary Wave Rider has been one of the most popular and best-selling shoes worldwide for over 20 years. It's not for nothing that the "Runbird logo" adorns all Mizuno running shoes.
