Mizuno Wave Creation 13
The Mizuno Wave Creation 13 is based on biomechanical research into the differences between men's and women's gait. Mizuno constructs the Midsole/Outsole of each gender differently to improve the ride, performance and comfort. New for 2011 the Wave Creation 12 features the new DynaMotion fit and AP+ midsole.
The Creation 13 is a maximum feature, moderate neutral shoe designed for daily training and high mileage. It is built with a semi-curved shape.
CUSHIONING
Mizuno Wave consists of an elastic, thermal plastic wave running from the heel to the midfoot, creating an incredibly springy and well-cushioned ride.
MIDSOLE
AP+ is Mizuno's top of the line full-length copolymer midsole for a lighter, more resilient ride.
Smooth Ride is a gender specific network of grooves that minimizes the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot to create a smooth heel to toe ride.
Extended Wave Plate in the midfoot is an extension of the Mizuno Wave for increased torsional rigidity between the heel and forefoot.
Intercool ventilation system in the midsole inhibits humidity buildup to keep feet cool and dry.
Gender Engineering utilizes gender-specific attributes such as a wider base in mens shoes and additional flex grooves in womens shoes.
UPPER
AIRmesh covers the entire upper and provides breathability to keep the foot cool.
OrthoLite Sockliner is an anti-microbial and moisture wicking insole that promotes a healthy environment for feet.
Dynamotion Fit creates optimal fit with stretch material in the forefoot and a collar construction that prevents the heel collar from buckling under load.
OUTSOLE
X10 located in the heel and forefoot is made of durable carbon rubber for enhanced traction
