Mizuno will release the Neo Ace on Aug. 1 as its new flagship tennis shoe for intermediate to advanced players, incorporating Enerzy XP cushioning throughout the midsole for increased energy return. The model introduces a D-Flex Groove midsole for pivot stability, a Crouching Wall outsole and DX rubber for balanced sliding and lateral support, plus an evolved half-bootie upper for a secure fit. Mizuno plans the Neo Ace to complement its renewed racket push in North America and broader tennis expansion plans. » Więcej na forbes.com

Mizuno launches two new rackets in North America on April 1: the control-oriented AcroStrike (98 sq in, 305g/290g, 16x19) and the power/speed-focused AcroSpeed (100 sq in, 300g/285g, 16x19). Both frames use Enerzy frame and a patented dual spring carbon-layer construction to increase energy return and dwell time, plus grommet technologies to boost string movement and spin.
