Mizuno Neo Zen 2
Mizuno’s latest daily trainer is stepping into 2026 with some meaningful refinements. The Neo Zen 2, launching in January 2026, builds on the original with updates aimed squarely at improved stability and all-day comfort, without losing the lightweight, nimble feel that defined the first version.
Our testers have found that the shoe sits comfortably in the daily trainer category. The Neo Zen 2 keeps things versatile - at home cruising easy miles or picking up the pace when the run calls for it. Subtle geometry tweaks and a more dialled-in platform give the shoe a smoother, more confident ride from footstrike to toe-off.
A clean, modern aesthetic paired with Mizuno’s evolving midsole tech makes the Neo Zen 2 one to watch as we head into the new year.
