[Update 27 Nov 2024] Alongside its counterparts in “Vintage Khaki”, and “Black”, an iteration in “Cognac” has been revaled. This version leans into rich, dark brown tones, lending it semblance to a vintage-inspired silhouette. Enhanced with GORE-TEX technology for weatherproofing and Michelin rubber outsoles for superior grip, this is a shoe designed for both style and functionality.

The nonnative x Mizuno Wave Mujin TL Mid GTX “Cognac” is slated to drop on 30 November 2024 through Mizuno and nonnative’s official websites, as well as select retailers.

[Update 23 Jan 2024] Following its initial release last year, the nonnative x Mizuno Wave Mujin TL Mid GTX is confirmed to see a restock on 27 January via nonnative. Take this chance to secure a pair if you haven’t already done so.

Satoshi Saffen’s nonnative is set to join forces with Mizuno for a contemporary take on the latter’s Wave Mujin TL GTX model and while it isn’t the lifestyle label’s first ever collaborative release, it is their first one with the sportswear label.

The collaborative pair sets its concept on a laceless, mid-cut boot silhouette, constructed with GORE-TEX fabric throughout for breathability and waterproof quality. Dressed in a Vintage Khaki finish, knit materials runs through the upper, extending to the sock-like ankle collars.

Overlayed with suede panels, nonnative and GORE-TEX branding decorates the heel counter and side linings respectively. Completing the design comes a lugged performance outsole, perfect for hitting the trails regardless of the season and weather conditions to come.

Slated to release on 15 April, the nonnative x Mizuno Wave Mujin TL Mid GTX will be available for purchase exclusively via COVERCHORD for 27,000 JPY (~US$205).
