"We at Strands.com are thrilled to be partnering with a leader in the specialty running category," said Matt Downin, Director of Marketing at Strands.com. "This partnership ensures that our athletes will be training and racing in the highest quality shoes and apparel available. Strands.com is committed to providing the best online tools for athletes to get the most out of their training, and Mizuno shares that same commitment to quality and excellence for the athlete, so the partnership was a natural fit."
