Mizuno MZ-450 - Size 8 (1983)

- men's size 8, women's size 9.5 (27cm)

- no box or cassette insoles included

- 9.5/10 condition: fully intact with yellowed glue stains and a small blemish near the production stamp in the heel of the right shoe; in very good deadstock vintage condition for being 39 years old - while these feel solid in hand with no signs of sole separation, wear at your own discretion on account of age

- features chrome tanned pig suede, polyester, & synthetic leather uppers, padded polyester tongues, dual-density RB foam midsoles, and studded carbon rubber outsoles; made in taiwan

- this version of the mizuno's all-purpose trainer is adapted to handle rougher terrain, hence the "wave" midsoles being paired with the somewhat aggressive outsole unit as the mizuno mz tr-50 trainers released just two years prior

- this model & its road-going counterpart still have yet to be revisited by the brand, although i wouldn't hold my breath considering how outdated this technology is in comparison to the modern wave technology; that said, surviving examples of these are scarce & quite rare
