The new line is set to cut a reputation for high comfort and ultra-lightweight performance, with an increased design influence from Mizuno's acclaimed running and court shoe expertise.

With a reputation for pioneering footwear in the sporting arena and a golf heritage that dates back to 1933, Mizuno is in prime position to make an impact on the fairways in 2021. An enthusiastic reaction to Mizuno's running-inspired Wave Cadence golf shoe in 2020 was enough for Mizuno to push the green light on the next stage of its development.

"Mizuno is in a unique position – widely respected for our running shoes, but unlike other dedicated footwear brands, we also have a passionate following amongst golfers,” said Kate Whitmore, Soft Goods Manager for Mizuno EMEA. “This deeper footwear line-up features the perfect balance of comfort, looks and the stability needed for an efficient golf swing.”

The new models include:

NEXLITE PRO

The comfort of soft-touch leather, with the support and lightweight ride of an EVA midsole running shoe. Streamlined looks with monochrome Runbird logo and perfectly fitted upper – the result of a centrally placed BOA closure unit. Superlight at just 270g per shoe, taking the weight off both the joints and feet when walking 18 and beyond.

NEXLITE GS

The Nexlite GS Spiked delivers stability in all conditions, with the support and lightweight ride of an EVA midsole running shoe. A soft-touch fully waterproof Kurary upper is securely fitted with Mizuno’s BOA system, while the model is superlight at just 280g per shoe.

Nexlite 008 BOA

Float the fairways in the near weightless Nexlite 008. Stripped back to a breathable mesh upper and durable X10 high-traction sole, this might be the most comfortable golf shoe you’ll ever wear straight from the box. Feather light at 235g per shoe.

G-Style

Take a more relaxed approach to the game – or walk away in the new G-Style. Comfortable and stable, with soft-touch Kuraray upper. One-year waterproof warranty.

RRP: $249 (Nexlite Pro); $219 (Nexlite GS); $199 (Nexlite 008 BOA); $159 (G Style).
