Recommended series: EXER SUITS series
 
Founded in Japan in 1906, Mizuno is now an international multi-sport brand with a wide range of products covering almost all major sports. Its baseball and golf series products are well-known, and its footwear products should be better known in China.
 
Mizuno started its swimsuit line late to 2007, but is now one of the world's leading professional swimwear manufacturers, with Japanese swimmer Kosuke Kitajima as a signatory. At that time, the Mizuno Accel Suit, which was launched as a super-fitting swimsuit, applied the "virtual body design" technology to the production of swimsuits for the first time, and the designer integrated the virtual data of the often retractable parts of the body, and then designed a swimsuit with good stretchability and more suitable for wearing, making this swimsuit have the three characteristics of flexibility, fit and low resistance, which is very suitable for professional swimmers.
 
Mizuno swimsuits are available in three series: SONIC, STREAM, and EXER SUITS. Among them, the whole fabric of the GX SONIC swimsuit in the SONIC series is a non-knitted fabric, with high density and strong wrapping on the body, while MX SONIC and FX SONIC have knitted fabric components, which are softer and more comfortable to wear. This range of swimsuits is suitable for use in high-level competitive competitions. STREAM is a knitted swimsuit that is waterproof and suitable for general swimming competitions or high-intensity swimming training.
 
The women's swimsuits in both series are X-shaped open-back one-piece knee-length models, and the men's five-point knee-length pants are mainly black, with distinctive colored lines on the shoulder straps, waist, abdomen and legs, and the overall design is simple and elegant. The price of the SONIC series of women's swimsuits is about 800 yuan, and the price of men's swim trunks is about 600 yuan. The price of women's swimsuits in the STREAM series is about 600 yuan, and the price of swim trunks is about 300-400 yuan. However, these two series of products are not sold in China for the time being, and they need to be purchased through overseas shopping or looking for purchasing agents.
 
The EXER SUITS swimsuit is aimed at general swimmers. This series is also a knitted fabric product, which can be basically divided into 100% polyester and 80% polyester and 20% polyurethane fiber blend according to the fiber composition. Polyurethane has high flexibility and resilience, and the famous "sharkskin" swimsuit is also made of polyurethane fiber to increase buoyancy and reduce water resistance, while the swimsuit with 100% polyester composition has better chlorine resistance.
 
Mizuno pays more attention to the Japanese local market, and about 60% of its sales come from local sales, so in terms of style design, whether it is men's swim trunks or women's swimsuits, EXER SUITS products sold in Japan are rich in color and fashion prints are more youthful and energetic. Men's swim trunks are basically boxers, and the price is mostly within 300-400 yuan. In addition to the one-piece briefs, women's swimsuits also have split two-piece styles, the tops are X-shaped open-back vests, and the bottoms are briefs, but the split swimsuits are not very suitable for professional swimming training, and the price is between 450-600 yuan.
 
The design of women's swimsuits on sale in China is more cliché and relatively lacks a sense of fashion, and the bottoms of the domestic split suit are five-point knee-length pants, and the vest tops that fully wrap the back can not stretch the shoulders well; There are also many styles in the one-piece model that have a U-shaped strap design, which is less sporty than the X-shaped strap design. The price is cheaper than the products on sale in Japan, basically between 250-500 yuan, but the split set can reach 800 yuan or more. Men's swim trunks are also dominated by boxers, and the price is mostly within 200-400 yuan, but the products on sale in China are single in color, which is difficult to attract the attention of young consumers.
