A new trail running shoe designed to deliver effortless efficiency, confident protection, and trusted grip across unpredictable terrain
[Peachtree Corners, GA, April 4, 2026] -Mizuno, a global leader in performance footwear, announces the launch of the Neo Accera, a trail running shoe engineered to deliver a smooth, efficient running experience beyond the pavement. Designed for runners seeking performance without compromise, the Neo Accera blends advanced cushioning, protective technologies, and premium traction to help athletes move confidently across dirt, gravel, and technical terrain.
At the heart of the Neo Accera is nitrogen-infused Mizuno Enerzy NXT, providing responsive cushioning and balanced stability over uneven ground. This advanced midsole material delivers an effortless feel while maintaining control where the trail demands it most. Complementing the cushioning system is Smooth Speed Assist, Mizuno’s proprietary sole structure designed to reduce calf muscle load and promote a more efficient stride, helping runners go further with less fatigue.
Built for real-world trail conditions, the Neo Accera features a Vibram® Megagrip outsole that delivers reliable traction on both wet and dry surfaces. A strategically placed Rock Plate adds underfoot protection from sharp rocks and debris, while a high stack height enhances overall comfort without sacrificing responsiveness. The breathable mesh upper, paired with a gusseted tongue, delivers a secure, locked-in fit that minimizes distractions on longer runs.
“The Neo Accera represents Mizuno’s commitment to delivering the smoothest running experience possible, no matter the terrain,” said Chris Brewer, Sr. Director of Running at Mizuno USA. “This shoe is designed for runners who want efficiency, protection, and confidence on the trail, without losing the fluid feel Mizuno is known for.”
Balancing performance innovation with sustainability, the Neo Accera also incorporates eco-friendly materials, reinforcing Mizuno’s ongoing efforts to reduce environmental impact while advancing athletic performance.
With the Neo Accera, Mizuno continues to expand its trail running offering, inviting runners to explore further, move smoother, and trust their footwear wherever the path leads.
The Mizuno Neo Accera is available now at usa.mizuno.com and select specialty running retailers nationwide.
