Working in a magazine has its advantages, especially that of being able to test exclusively ultra-desirable fashion capsule collectionslike the one of Roxy in collaboration with Mizuno. A complete collection for the practice of impact sports such as running, fitness, tennis… Or more gentle on the joints such as yoga or cycling.
Loyal readers of Madmoizelle are already familiar with the Roxy brand. A brand dedicated to women who accompany them in all their playgrounds, on the water as in the snow, in the forest as in the city. As for Mizuno, it is also a sports equipment brand designed for enthusiasts who want to push their limits. In short, this collaboration made perfect sense!
These few pieces combine the pop colors and softness of Roxy’s universe with the technical prowess of Mizuno. You’ll find sports bras, leggings, shorts, shoes, a t-shirt, a tank top, and a hoodie. But before being able to tell you about it, Madmoizelle wanted to test all these pieces.
Thus, for a morning, Sophie and Alissia played the role of testers by practicing various physical activities under the eyes and camera of Soifia, our photographer and videomaker.
Roxy x Mizuno: playing sports with comfortable and elegant clothes
To test the entire collection, Alissia wears the Bold Moves cyclamen shorts and bralette and the Essential mock orange t-shirt. Sophie is wearing a Sea The Good tank top, bra and leggings. To complete the outfit, each of them wears the highlight of this collection: the Waves Rider 26 shoes.
The first thing that catches the eye in this collection are its vibrant colors ! They instantly bring warmth to any rain-threatening sky, such as a shooting day, or a city environment that’s a little too gray. Also, if you prefer sobriety, some pieces have been declined in black.
The second thing to take away from this collaboration, it’s his technique. When you run, nothing is more painful than leggings that fall off, a bra that doesn’t hold your chest, or shoes that create blisters. It’s simple, good sportswear must give way to practice.and indeed, Roxy and Mizuno know it well.
Both leggings and shorts have a wide elastic waistband that doesn’t mark, but stays perfectly in place. Furthermore, these two pieces as well as the tank top and bras are lined with DryFlight® technology which allows moisture to escape more easily.
Who is the Roxy x Mizuno collection for?
Nothing prevents you wear these pieces to have fun in your daily life. A little comfort never killed anyone, actually. However, if you have reached this level of the article, you understand that it is mainly intended for those who love sport and want to wear high-performance clothing that enhances it.
In order to give you a concrete opinion, the two testers chosen for this shot are two sports enthusiasts. Alissia is a PE teacher at a college in Île-de-France and Sophie takes up a sporting activity whenever she has the opportunity. In other words, level sportswearthey know.
I would recommend the bra without hesitation, it meets all my selection criteria. It’s soft, it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t squeeze or get in the way. And especially when you’re jumping or moving, it holds up well!

As for Sophie, her favorite piece from the collection is the shoes:
When choosing a pair of sports shoes, I pay attention to the sole. It must be flexible, well made and padded, it allows you not to hurt your knees or joints. The cushioning of the step is very important and this is top, I have the impression of wearing slippers. Plus, they fit perfectly! I got my usual size (42) and after this morning there are no blisters or irritations to report.

Each piece is available from XS to XXL. In addition, Alissia wears the t-shirt and bra in size S and the shorts in size M. Sophie only wears L. As for shoes, the size range is very wide since it goes from 36 to 42 and offers all sizes sizes. This is significant for practices where shoe friction is greatest, requiring a shoe that is not too tight.
Sophie and Alissia really enjoyed the collection, you’ll understand. They have had great pleasure testing each of the pieces in this collaboration, which is reflected in the photographs. So it’s a successful crash test for the Roxy x Mizuno collection !
