The plate doesn't look like carbon fiber... yet. This is probably still a prototype, but it looks sick.

I like the tsunami insole.
-
I've seen this on Instagram described as piece of imaginative art rather than being real and it's not been done by Mizuno.

That looks like a render rather than a real item.

Good on Mizuno, now let’s see when ASICS can step up to the plate and produce a similar type of shoe.

Especially since Kawauchi currently has an asics sponsorship deal. -
No lacing/fastening/adjustability .
The outsole rubber would be insanely heavy with that setup.
Just piggybacks off Nike science like every other shoe brand has done.
As someone said, nice photoshop work. -
Yuki wears ASICS.
Someone posted this a few months ago.
They’re not real shoes
You’re probably racist for even supposing that Yuki wears mizuno just because it’s a Japanese company -
Here is mizuno's actual plated offering

Although Yuki Kawauchi is sponsored by ASICS, is it possible that Mizuno win a bid to be the Japan National Team sponsor for Tokyo Olympics 2021 and thus will provide sportswear/gear to all Japanese athletes that will compete, including those who already has a sponsorship from other brands?

The things are kind of unrelated. Even when a company sponsors a national team the people in that team race in their sponsors' shoes. It's the uniforms and warm up stuff that has the team's sponsor's logos. And anyway, Kawauchi has said he's not going to try to make the Olympic team.
