Mizuno appoints Fuku Suzuki and Kiyo Shimizu as brand ambassadors

Mizuno has appointed actor Fuku Suzuki and karateka Kiyo Shimizu as new brand ambassadors for its MIZUNO LIFESTYLE SHOES category. The announcement was made during a press conference in Tokyo.

Suzuki, who expressed a lifelong connection to the brand through baseball, and Shimizu, who has used Mizuno gear for a decade and assisted in developing competitive wear, will promote the brand's lifestyle products. The focus will be on communicating the comfort, functionality, and design of the footwear to a wide audience through advertisements, events, and digital platforms.

The ambassadors highlighted the new ‘ME-DELIGHT JQ’ shoes, which feature high-rebound materials typically used in competitive sports footwear to provide enhanced cushioning. Both ambassadors expressed their commitment to sharing the brand's appeal both within Japan and internationally.
