Mizuno Neo Zen First Run Review
The Mizuno Neo Zen is an all-new daily trainer designed to offer comfort and fun. Priced at $150, it has a tall stack of non-plated foam, which positions it against much more expensive shoes like the New Balance Balos ($200) and Asics Superblast 2 ($200). It also competes with shoes like the Asics Novablast 5 ($140) and Adidas Adizero SL2 in the fun daily trainer segment. In this video, I give an overview of the Neo Zen, take it out for some miles and let you know my thoughts.
