Mizuno tennis has a new flagship shoe. The Japanese brand announced the release of the Mizuno Neo Ace, designed for the intermediate to advanced all-around player, taking over the title of \u201cflagship\u201d for the brand. <\/p>\n
Ryohei Suzuki, the footwear developer on the new model, tells me the Mizuno developed the Neo Ace franchise to serve as the key option for players looking to take performance to the next stage and says the technology helps make that happen. <\/p>\n
For the first time from Mizuno, the brand has incorporated its Enerzy XP cushioning throughout the midsole. The highest-rebound cushioning material from the brand, Suzuki says the \u201cexceptional energy return delivers explosive propulsion\u2014from the first step through full-speed sprints\u2014helping elevate footwork to the next level.\u201d <\/p>\n
A fresh approach to the midsole defines the new Mizuno Neo Ace tennis shoe. <\/p>\n

The Mizuno D-Flex Groove design in the midsole features diagonal grooves to provide stability during pivots while still allowing the player flexibility in movement. <\/p>\n
With a first-of-its-kind midsole, Mizuno also created a new outsole. The brand calls its \u201cCrouching Wall\u201d technology key in enhancing stability during sliding. Using an \u201cagility frame\u201d to reduce lateral movement during quick changes of direction, the two technologies support precise footwork on the court, Suzuki says, enabling smoother transitions from step to step. The outsole also includes what Mizuno calls DX rubber, meant to balance stability and lateral sliding\u2014it comes with a six-month outsole warranty.<\/p>\n
Suzuki designed the upper material to provide softness, flexibility and breathability to go with durability. Suzuki says the shoe features a forefoot fitting tape and an evolved half-bootie construction to offer a wraparound fit designed for comfort and a secure feel. <\/p>\n

The Neo Ace launches Aug. 1 and will debut in a white with blue and blue with white for men and white with purple and purple with white for women. ATP player Damir Dzumhur will wear the Neo Ace.<\/p>\n
The Neo Ace follows the January release of Mizuno\u2019s Wave Exceed Tour 7<\/a>, a speed-focused footwear model that brought Enerzy XP into the design for the first time, albeit just in a portion of the midsole. The Enerzy XP is the newest in the proprietary line of foam from the brand, popular in running shoes. The nitrogen-infused foam is found in some of the brand\u2019s high-end running models. Nitrogen infusing in foam has become the standard for elite running foams, allowing for a lightweight construction that still offers softness and energy return.<\/p>\n
