Hajime Sorayama Readies Mizuno Wave Prophecy 10 in "Champagne Gold"
The third and final special-edition iteration.
Following special-edition “Dark Grey” and “Silver” takes on the Wave Prophecy 10 released earlier last year, Japanese illustrator Hajime Sorayama serves up a final iteration of his futuristic Mizuno footwear collaboration in “Champagne Gold/White.” Arriving in a sleek metallic design reminiscent of Sorayama’s sexy robot series, the upcoming WAVE PROPHECY SORAYAMA arrives in white semi-translucent uppers, with matte gold accents along the eyestays and lateral RunBird logos, and metallic pieces secured on the heel counter.
Below, Sorayama’s custom “INFINITY WAVE” sole unit consists of a mirrored gold top plate sandwiched with a milky rubber outsole that arches over the heel. The gold plating is visible through bottom cutouts while scaling air pockets on the midsoles offer reactive lightweight cushioning.
“Having a date today! Sneakers for a special occasion! That’s the concept,” Sorayama said of the silhouette in a prior interview.
The new WAVE PROPHECY SORAYAMA colorway will be released in advance at 2G May 7, and at select retailers globally on May 14.
Elsewhere in footwear, Rick Owens DRKSHDW x Converse TURBOWPN returns in “Clay” and “Egret.”
