Mizuno Alpha 4.0 Women's Running Shorts

Developed for long runs and intense training sessions, these shorts will help you keep your cool even when the tempo steps up.

Pull on radical breathability. Enriched with DryLite technology, these shorts move moisture away from the skin for quick evaporation, keeping you damp-free and comfortable on hot, longer distance days. The application of DynamotionFit technology (garment patterns based on anatomical research) means you get improved fit and full freedom of movement, so you can power on up those inclines with ease; because your clothing choice should never inhibit your natural movement. Mizuno FreshPlus technology adds an anti-bacterial and deodorising function to this product, giving you and your gear that fresher-for-longer feel. A back zipper pocket provides close, convenient storage for small essentials, plus the soft interior waistband (with drawcord) exists for your complete, adjustable comfort. NightLite reflective details complete the garment, increasing your visibility to passing vehicles and keeping you safe on those low-light adventures.

About Mizuno

Mizuno was founded in 1906 as Mizuno Brothers Ltd by Rihachi Mizuno and his younger brother Rizo, in Osaka. The shop sold western sundries, including baseballs, and then in 1907 began to sell order-made athletic wear. In 1910 the shop moved to Umeda Shinmichi and its name was changed to Mizuno Shop. In 1913 the firm began to manufacture baseballs and gloves. In 1933 Mizuno presented Star Line, the first Japanese made golf clubs. By 1935 its golf club showroom was the world's largest.

In 1941 the company name was changed to Mizuno Co., Ltd, and has remained the same since. The first American factory was established in Los Angeles, under the denomination American Mizuno in 1961.

Today, Mizuno is a global corporation which makes a wide variety of sports equipment and sportswear, for golf, tennis, baseball, volleyball, football, running, rugby, skiing, cycling, judo, table tennis, badminton, boxing and athletics.
