Osaka sports major whose Wave plate still carries the running line
A baseball-goods shop from 1906 that became a listed conglomerate and still runs its own factories in Japan through Mizuno Technics, while the running shoes mostly come from contract factories it audits but does not list. Running is one line among many — baseball and golf still loom large at home — and the shops are organised that way. The Wave plate has outlived most midsole fashions, and the Australian shop runs the Wave Rider to a US 16 in a wide fit.
