We pay homage to the love of the game with the arrival of the Footpatrol x Mizuno Contender.
Designed with both sneaker enthusiasts & football fans in mind, this eclectic range combines seamless astroturf style with Mizuno’s timeless functionality that continues to inspire a new generation of sports enthusiasts.
Kicking off this authentic partnering is our recreation of the ‘95 Mizuno Contender silhouette, arriving in Premium nubuck material in irongate grey that sets the tone to this football focused design. Premium football boot leather is applied to the toe box - a nod to Mizuno’s football boot with the same material equipped on the tongue that is further spot-varnished with Mizuno and Footpatrol brand logos. Washed suede outskirts the toe cap and outer heel collar, while reflective detailing graces the lateral heel. Patent leather is the material of choice for the Runbird insignia, hallmarking the sidewall with some brand heritage, with further Footpatrol branding etched to the heel in gold.
Pops of Turquoise outline the Runbird moniker as well as featuring on the insole, inner tongue, and parts of the treaded outsole. To finish, an EVA moulded midsole supplies cloud-like cushioning with each stride.
