FUTUR Preps Collaborative Mizuno Sneaker and Activewear Capsule
Centered around two sleek Wave Emperor F colorways.








Japan’s Mizuno continues its KAZOKU project with another collaborative release. This time, Paris’ FUTUR joins the sportswear label for sleek sneakers and functional garments.
“KAZOKU” means family in Japanese, and distinguishes Mizuno’s joint efforts from its other releases. The latest offering in the on-going series sees FUTUR giving the Wave Emperor F two makeovers: one pale and tonal, the other a retro-indebted black, blue, red and white colorway. Complete with co-branding on the heel, the runner is accompanied by a full range of branded activewear, nearly all executed in black.
A white cap and tee are the only exceptions, with a black coat, leggings, sports bra and cap emblazoned with 3M Mizuno and FUTUR logos for visual impact. Spaced-out FUTUR branding on the coat offers another type of branding, gently contrasting against the hooded outerwear.
Bodega hosted an initial rollout earlier this month, prior to the official release. The collaboration hits Futur’s web store and monkey time stores on May 25.
Recently, Mizuno teamed with SAYHELLO for an elevated Court Select.
