WAVE PROPHECY RING MOC SETSUMASA KOBAYASHI #Black [D1GD2619]
Product Details
■Product Details.
Anyone who hears the name “Wave Prophecy” and thinks of it as merely a sole technology is no longer part of this conversation. It is a symbol of the “functional beauty” that Mizuno has pursued for many years, and at the same time, one of the most successful ways Mizuno has reached out to the lifestyle market. Presented as the latest culmination of this journey is the “WAVE PROPHECY RING MOC SETSUMASA KOBAYASHI.”
Setsumasa Kobayashi founded *GENERAL RESEARCH* in 1994 and, since the 2000s, has been a central figure in revitalizing Japan’s outdoor and fashion culture through *MOUNTAIN RESEARCH*. In 2007, the “INFINITY MOC,” which he created in collaboration with Mizuno, was a revolutionary design that incorporated the structural philosophy of a performance brand into the traditional moccasin silhouette. The “WAVE PROPHECY MOC” is a model that directly inherits that DNA, yet is not merely a reissue but has been reimagined as “today’s Mizuno sports style,” and this release is positioned as the culmination of that series.
A classic moccasin upper. Yet beneath your feet sits the Wave Prophecy sole, featuring a hollow design. This sole masterfully balances stability and cushioning—two elements that are typically at odds—minimizing midsole “sagging” caused by long-term use and ensuring the shoe retains its value over time.
Furthermore, in this model, elements such as the inner structure derived from SKY MEDAL, the ring-shaped strap that secures the midfoot, and the dual-layer construction of a suede upper and mesh lining are arranged in an extremely sporty and logical manner—contrary to the shoe’s understated appearance.
Kobayashi Setsumasa’s aesthetic philosophy of “timelessness” is underpinned by thoughtful design, and the “WAVE PROPHECY RING MOC” is a pair of shoes that embodies that philosophy in its clearest form. This shoe is not simply a “pair you want”; it is a pair for which you can explain why you own it—and it is precisely that explanation that further enhances the value of this product.
■Size Spec.
While there is a little extra room in the length, the shoe is designed to fit snugly across the instep, so you can choose your usual sneaker size. The width offers a standard fit. The strap that runs through the ring is adjustable with Velcro, allowing you to customize the fit across the instep.
