Mizuno, a global leader in premium performance footwear, apparel and equipment, enters the elite U.S. swimming market with its most popular GX Sonic III Men’s elite performance racing suit. A preferred racing suit by top ranked men’s collegiate swim programs and elite swimmers across the U.S., the GX Sonic III is a custom-designed tech suit featuring innovations designed for speed.
“Mizuno has had tremendous success in the competitive swimming market outside the U.S.,” said John Waznik, VP, New Business Development – Mizuno USA. “Recent achievements by elite U.S. swimmers at world competitions and growing demand by American swimmers for our premium swim product has made the timing right for Mizuno to enter the market in a focused way.”
Available in Sprinter (ST) and Multi-Racer (MR) models, the GX Sonic III jammer features two proprietary technologies, SONIC LINE DESIGN, which delivers the ultimate level of compression for postural support across the lower body and through the up-kick to keep legs fresh to the finish, and SONIC LIGHT RIBTEX, which reduces friction by nearly 9% for increased speed underwater.
Each GX Sonic III jammer is made upon order due to its unique, proprietary SONIC technologies and requires an extended lead time for delivery ranging from 3 to 4 weeks. Retailing for $350, the GX Sonic III jammer will be available exclusively at MizunoUSA.com.
The premium Mizuno swim portfolio will continue to expand in Spring 2018 with the launch of an all-new women’s line of performance swim gear, and other premium swim accessories.

why are so many Americans wearing Mizuno? I thought most of them are sponsored by tyr and speedo??
DEAR PARENTS AND SWIMMERS *** PLEASE NOTE***
Your Mizuno Sonic III suit does NOT qualify for CIF Swimming. We spent $600 on two suits only to find out after the second event in High School League Championship that we cannot use the suit – the Logo is over 2.25 inches and therefore, does not meet CIF rules. Imagine that, you spend $600 on suits only to find out that the logo is too big! I cannot believe Mizuno did this… Our son who is a top butterflyer, loves the suit and thinks this is the best he has had. But, too bad he cannot use it again! I have two for sale!
(for those wondering, he cannot use again since… Read more »
UPDATE * Spoke with Mizuno, they were AWESOME to help with the situation for us and are making sure logo size is correct! According to our son, the suit is VERY good and MizunoUSA has been just awesome on this.
If I was trying to order one for Australia how would I do that? Does mizuno USA ship internationally or will I need to resort to eBay? Also what are size conversions like? If I’m a 24 in a speedo lzr 2 would I roughly be a medium?
now mizuno can sponsor kalisz and dressel when he graduates lol
Why are they so expensive. I have gotten 2 from japan for less money…
Been ordering Mizuno for years for my son. We get them trough Amazon/Japan for around $200 and fast shipping. Usually within a week.
It says the suit is designed exclusively for sprints on the website. Can someone who’s worn it give an idea of what it’s like mid-distance? I feel like Texas wears them for more than just sprints
There are ”sprint” suits, and ”multi-racer” suits. You wear the multi-racer for middle distances.
Thanks. Didn’t see that
Is there a women’s version of the suit?
yeah, a lot of the japanese women wear mizuno suits (ikee)
yeah but ngl they’re pretty ugly. but i guess aesthetics isn’t really the main goal of a suit anyway.
