The Mizuno Wave Prophecy LS arrives with a very welcome update – the integration of a Gore-Tex membrane that caters to the technical-enthusiasts that have inherited the silhouette and those pushing boundaries within the sportslife space alike. Both of which cross paths with Italian retailer, One Block Down.
As one of Mizuno’s previous collaborators, One Block Down represents the side of street-culture that thrives across Europe without stepping away from their carefully aligned aesthetic – and therefore earned their place in being the perfect partner to capture the Wave Prophecy LS GTX in all of its glory.
Rooted in the theme of adrenaline, One Block Down took this new silhouette to the tracks and put it to the test; encapsulating rampant energy, bursts of speed and hitting the ragged edge.
Slight updates on the essential DNA of Mizuno’s cornerstone silhouette include the integration of micro ripstop across the upper, Gore-Tex membrane and the introduction of their Wave Prophecy X sole instead of the typical Infinity Wave with which we’ve become all so familiar.
