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.
• VS-1 cushioning material in the heel provides additional shock absorption.

MIDSOLE

• 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.

• AP+ is Mizuno's top of the line full-length copolymer midsole for a lighter, more resilient ride.

• Mizuno 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 men’s shoes and additional flex grooves in women’s shoes.

UPPER


• AIRmesh covers the entire upper and provides breathability to keep the foot cool.

• OrthoLite Sockliner is anti-microbial and moisture wicking for a healthy foot environment.

• Dynamotion Fit creates optimal fit with stretch material in the forefoot and a collar construction that prevents the heel collar from buckling under load.

• Strobel Last with the upper stitched to full length fabric for a comfortable underfoot feel.

OUTSOLE


• X10 located in the heel and forefoot is made of durable carbon rubber for enhanced traction.

• Flex Controllers placed in high flex areas on the outsole act as miniature wave plates for increased flexibility and reduced weight.
