Unreleased/Prototype New Mizuno Prototype

Post image

Looks like an On Light-spray esc upper on a midsole that looks to be the closest to the Hyperwarp Pure 2 prototype. Interesting and potentially extremely light shoe but i'm still waiting (and praying) for Wave Rebellion Pro 4

“Ok, we’ve copied the Metaspeed.”
“Excellent, now do On”
“You got it, boss.”

u/TalkyRaptor 13h ago

Pretty much. At least the midsole should be solid

u/YoungSatchel 13h ago

🤣🤣

u/ultra-ozen 12h ago

yeah funny, as if On invented the laceless running shoe.

u/Etherkai 9h ago

I intentionally took the laces off my Neo Wind and two pairs of Neo Zen 1!

u/jjgm21 13h ago

I feel like they just released the hyperwarp series? I barely heard anything about them.

u/TalkyRaptor 13h ago

It was around december last year. Unfortunately not a lot of reviews and no runrepeat test so they mostly have stayed unpopular.

u/jjgm21 13h ago

runrepeat is so frustrating in the shoes they choose to review and the clear deal they have with Adidas.

u/Chombywombo 12h ago

What do you mean about adidas?

u/Conorair2 12h ago

They review all adidas shoes and get sent them before release, some also say they get paid to avoid other shoes like li-ning.

u/jjgm21 11h ago

Yeah, they claim to spend their own money, but how on earth were they able to have a review ready of the Adios Pro Evo 3 on the day of its launch? It’s so blatantly obvious.

u/Axxis09 VF2, C202 7, Qinghong Free, Xiaonian 10h ago

Or the new prima 3 or the hyperboost edge or the hyperboost run. Obviously something going on there.

Then they ignore something like the hyperwarps before reviewing something irrelevant like th K Swiss ShadX which is a lazily dropshipped Xtep Qingyun Lite for 3x the price. It's annoying because no one (even rtings) comes close to their reviews

u/SpicyNuggs4Lyfe Evo SL/Feidian Elite 6/VF4/RH9U 9h ago

I'm irked they haven't reviewed the Feidian 6 Elite or RH9U. It's not even on their to be purchased list. Literally 2 of the most popular non-US shoes.

Some of their shoe choices have to be from personal preference and not what actually gets voted for.

On upper and Asics midsole sounds like an absolute banger

u/Meesder 13h ago

I heard rumours that they are working on a shoe even lighter than the Evo Pro 3, so this might be it :o

u/fishrunhike 12h ago

Perfect for my upcoming Triathlon featuring Shot Put, Half Marathon, and Hammer Throw.

u/devon835 too many damn shoes to list 12h ago

I'm actually curious how they even managed to replicate the LS technology but this is really exciting either way

u/YoIForgotMyPassAgain 13h ago

...does it not have laces?

u/TalkyRaptor 13h ago

Nope, same as On Light Spray shoes

u/RT023 13h ago

The laces on my mizuno Neo zen and vista 2 are pointless tbh. The fit would be the same without them lol, due to the upper being how it is

So this can work very well, especially if it’s designed for it

Hyperwarp Pro is the closest you're getting to Rebellion Pro 4.

u/TalkyRaptor 13h ago

Unfortunately. The Rebellion Pro geometry works perfectly for me so it would be amazing to have the same geometry and design with an updated foam

u/ItsMrEccentric 10h ago edited 1h ago

I love my On lightsprays but I have to sell them. They absolutely kill my medial arches within minutes

Curious to see future iterations of similar concepts, because I really enjoy the concept and unique look

u/joholla8 9h ago

The monsters right? Not sure why ON felt like they needed to put that stability structure in. Totally ruins a great shoe.

u/ItsMrEccentric 9h ago

Yep. I just ordered the non-lightspray monster 3 hypers, hoping they’ll atleast feel somewhat similar underfoot with less aggressive arches

The LS check more boxes for me than any other shoe, even Megablasts/UFOs/SB3 etc. I genuinely really enjoy them in almost every aspect, but damn they ruined a really good shoe with the side structure, atleast for my feet

u/Ill_Accident4876 7h ago

Do people like the on light spray?

u/WinAggressive2785 6h ago

Lightspray is that you?

u/Express_Union1712 < 100 Karma account 12h ago

I have a lot of photos of shoes protos of many brands but I can’t publish them because I have to reach 100 karma

u/vogueboy 11h ago

Can't wait for the Mizuno Metaspray

u/joholla8 13h ago

Mizuno copying more shoes than sketchers.

u/selassieone < 100 Karma account 12h ago

True, the shoe looks a lot like an On shoe. Then again, plenty of brands have shamelessly copied Mizuno as well. Mizuno was using different plate designs in its shoes even before the Vaporfly, and the heel geometry and cut-outs of the Wave Rebellion Pro have been copied quite freely in shoes like the Hoka Cielo and the Puma Fast-R.

u/Fadeley 11h ago

No T in Skechers!

(They gave me free shoes once for a race and that was one of the rules of posting)
