Only has a breakdown vid. He barely spoke about how they played, just that he didn't have footage to comment on because of his camera overheating.
Plus we know he wears orthotics. Something that much of us have in common.

Quoting Jason's, "...my favorite shoe of 2026." He falls into the low arch, wide width (E) category.

I am high arch medium width
These are definitely the most natural feeling Mizunos I’ve worn. There was some heel spacing without the runners not but it never caused toe jamming. I would not personally size down
We will see what their durability is like over time
The white and red is attractive on foot

I'm starting to see some tread balding in the usual spots on the balls of my feet on mine. Think I've used them 6-7 times so far. Still better than Enforce Tour but I will easily go through them before indoor season here. I am also seeing a lot of abrasion on the exposed midsole foam and wish Mizuno would have wrapped the outsole tread up a little higher in certain spots.
I'll also say that white shoes always get dingy but I swear these seem to attract more dirt than any other white shoe I've had. The laces and ankle collar on mine are pretty brown already and I've wiped down the upper more than any other shoe.

I would not go smaller size. I am size 11 in most shoes (11.5 Lacoste…) and these fit just right, length wise

Also 4.5 user here. For my wide forefoot its great. Had 3 pairs for the last year. Decent shoes at affordable price. Now bought Enforce Tour 2, pretty good

My left foot was way happier after I put in high arch insoles. YMMV.

Hopefully there are some fresh colors when I definitely use the warrsnty
Oddly enough TW mentions the warranty and the box does too… but the official mizuno website does not!

I hope there will be all white, without any colors. Classic.

Wow I bet you love getting shoes "for your son"we wear the same size
I'm having terrible cramping issues with these and I can't figure it out. The Wave Exceed is my favorite shoe so I figured these would be a good transition. They feel perfect on foot but as soon as I start playing my feet just cramp right up.
It's like they're cutting off circulation somewhere but I just can't quite figure out where or why...I don't think I have them laced up too tightly. It's honestly just strange for them to feel so good just walking around but then feel so terrible as soon as I start playing.

keep us posted on what you find out. WET2s are my current favorite shoe and i was thinking about checking these out at some point also.

Interesting. I don’t have this issue but I will say I have more post match fatigue in my feet with these than I expected given how touted Enerzy XP is and it is more than I get with my Reebok Phase Evos that just use a tuned EVA midsole

My experience of all Mizuno shoes is the first few times you use anything with the newest enerzy stuff in it, your legs ache a bit until you get used to the functioning of the energy return / bounce.

Not my issue. I'm well past any kind of "break in" or adjustment period with them. I'm assuming it's a fitment related thing for me.

Me too. If I tie them too tight my arches get obliterated. Quickly
Well here's a new one for me....mine have turned yellow!! The entire front half of the shoe, the exterior rubber, sorry don't know the technical name, has turned yellow. I've only worn mine maybe 3 times....keep them stored in a shoe organizer type thing.
Anyone else experience this??

do you have a cat?
No ***** cats here.
Both shoes? In same exact spots? Can you post up a pic. I just ordered a pair that are out for delivery today. Couldn’t decide between the white or the blue version. Ended up getting the white since it was replacing my Court FF3 Novak Paris. Hopefully the yellowing doesn’t become an issue and regret not getting the blue.
I have with a pair of Roger Pro's, but only after prolonged exposure to sun in FL.

Glad I bought the Beacon Blue "for my son" to try.
Hey guys, I've been using the K-Swiss Supreme 2 shoes which I really like for the past year (I find them very stable, not too heavy, and hug my feet really well), but looking to upgrade to these and was wondering what size I should get - I believe I have regular/medium-wide feet.
My normal shoe size is 10.5, but for tennis shoes I usually get size 11 as I need some extra space in the toe box...but for Supreme 2s I had to get size 11.5 cuz they were a bit narrower than the Express 2s for example.
The closest store is like 45mins away so I was thinking of ordering them online and getting size 11, but what are your thoughts?

It didn't happen to me, I wonder is it weather related.
I'm having trouble with the image insert button here....not sure if these links will work or not.
Yes, both shoes, same area...it's clearly a defect in the rubber.
I really really doubt it's weather related. I've only worn them i think 3 times. I bought them right before my USTA team was starting playoffs and i really didn't want to mess with new shoes so they've basically been sitting in the closet.
And it's not like the entire shoe turned yellow...it's just the front rubber, you can see the soles of the shoe and the back half still look perfect. That tells me it's something specific to that rubber and not something effecting the entire shoe.

My Neo Ace was delivered yesterday. It’s a good replacement for my Court FF3…first impressions walking around the house is it has a bit more cushion….which I was looking for,
Have you reached out to TW or Mizuno about it? What have they said?
I happen to like this color way. Will post back if I experience the same issue with the pair I just got.

I have to get court time with them. But on initial in house walking around…I find them true to size. Got the same size I use for court ff3 and gel Res 9.
Got it, thank you for the input! What I always do when I test new shoes at the store, is I do a little sprint in an open space and make a sharp stop to see if my toes get jammed or not, that tells me whether that size is good enough or I should size up. I guess worst case I can exchange them for another size if they feel too big.
You should def send the retailer you got it from or mizuno an email about this, maybe you just got a defective pair and they can replace it with new ones for free
Is size 11 your standard shoe size outside tennis too, or you usually go half a size up for tennis shoes?

Yes, standard for tennis and dress shoes.
Got it, thank you for the input! I might just order both sizes, test it at home, and return 1 of them back - I'd rather do that than waste 1.5h going to & from the store lol
But looks like I might go with 10.5s since that's my standard size, I only go half a size up if I feel like the toe box is small
I don’t think I have any store near me that carry these. But would have loved to try them on too…since some shoes I go 1/2 size bigger like with my Vapor Pros. One of the reasons I went true to size was that prior posts here have suggested true to size and or 1/2 size smaller even. If I went 1/2 size down they would def be too small. I think I could have maybe gone 1/2 size bigger..but I’d imagine they would lose the lockdown feel after being broken in.
How do you find the toe box on these? Is there enough room for your toes or not much?
Cuz I just looked it up to compare it with my current Supreme 2s, and looks like the Supreme 2s are roomier in the toe box than these which is pretty important to me cuz I run very quickly and make sharp stops during my matches, so if my toes get consistently jammed in these shoes then it would be a complete waste of money for me
Length of shoe seems true to size and toe box width standard? I haven’t had any court time yet though. If you have a wide foot and are between sizes in different shoes. Maybe just order both?
Yeah I was thinking of doing that as well and then returning the 1 that didn't fit me as well
