Katakana pack

A wish for Power and Speed

At Mizuno, we proudly celebrate our Japanese identity and, once again, we took inspiration from our cultural roots to create the volleyball Katakana pack. In Japan, it is a tradition to write your wishes and resolutions for the new year in traditional characters with black ink on white traditional paper. The Katakana collection takes inspiration from the traditional Japanese Kakizome (“first writing”), made in Katakana calligraphy.

For the new year, we want to support players improve their performance. To inspire them, we included the words “Speed” in the Wave Lightning and “Power” in the Wave Momentum, both written in Katakana.

Wave Lightning Z6 - Improve Speed

The Wave Lightning Z6 Katakana embodies the wish of improving speed on court. The new edition of Mizuno’s most electric shoe features a softer and more flexible upper, built with an engineered mesh for high breathability. In addition, the half bootie construction enhances overall fitting, stability and comfort, and the extended Mizuno Wave plate to the forefoot provides unrivalled acceleration.
