Technologies
-
Mizuno Wave
The only technology to combine two essential qualities for a high-performance running shoe: Cushioning and Stability. The Wave plate ensures a better distribution of the shock wave at the moment of ground impact, thus providing excellent cushioning. The differences in leveling and amplitude of the Wave plates on the inner and outer sides of the foot guarantee the shoe's stability. By adjusting these amplitude differences, Mizuno is able to adapt to all strides and runner weights to offer maximum performance.
-
SmoothRide
Unique technology that reduces the acceleration and deceleration phases of the stride, attenuates vibrations, and increases the flexibility of the shoe to offer an ever smoother run.

AIRmesh
Aerated nylon placed on the shoe's upper, allowing the foot to breathe better and providing the shoe with excellent breathability.
