Mizuno Sportstyle introduces a capsule collection with VRUNK — the young Marseille label at the heart of the city’s most influential streetwear subculture.

The collaboration takes us to the South of France, where decades of sportswear DNA intersect with two-wheeler culture — from mopeds and motorcycles to mountain bikes. The name VRUNK comes from local slang, meaning “friend.”

It is this very sense of community that lies at the core of the partnership — one that not only creates products but also nurtures a steadily growing following.
At its center stands the Mizuno Wave Prophecy LS, updated in this edition with pink, navy, and deep purple accents.

Standout details include alternately colored sidewall branding, dual-branded tongue loops, and a lenticular heel panel that shifts between VRUNK and Mizuno branding depending on the angle.
Completing the design are custom-printed insoles and three interchangeable lace sets for versatile styling.

The sneaker’s color palette extends across the entire apparel capsule, which features a football jersey, balaclava, cap, fleece jacket, and a two-piece track jacket with matching track pants.

Each piece carries both the Mizuno Runbird logo and VRUNK branding, reinforcing the visual identity of the collaboration.
