A prophecy can be described as the process of a message being communicated to others; such messages typically involve divine inspiration or revelation of events to come. When Mizuno first introduced their groundbreaking Wave technology, they made the prophecy that someday in the future a mechanical midsole would give runners the ride of their dreams. And it’s safe to say the future has been made with the arrival of the Japanese brand’s most highly engineered technical running shoe to date – the Mizuno prophecy has been fulfilled.
The Wave Prophecy is Mizuno’s top of the range Summer 2012 running shoe and represents the very pinnacle of the brand’s technology and design. Engineered for runners demanding outstanding performance and seeking the most responsive cushioned ride available, the feeling of the Wave Prophecy is totally unique and expected to inspire interest amongst runners all over the world.

Two full length moulded Waves replace the traditional moulded EVA midsole, allowing the wearer to really feel the full dynamic effect of Mizuno’s Wave technology with optimal cushioned comfort and heightened responsive energy return. This is achieved by the design of integrating two Waves connected by cushioning pillars. When the heel hits the ground the Wave starts the cushioning process by dispersing the energy through the entire full length plates and then in one harmonious single movement, springs back an unparalleled responsive energy return into the forefoot area for a smooth transitional toe off.

In addition to delivering the obvious ride enhancements that are immediately apparent, the Prophecy’s Wave system will go on delivering outstanding cushioning for much longer than traditional foam midsoles which often compress over time and lose their elasticity, cushioning and support.

With the ultimate combination of cushioning and durability, the Wave Prophecy is truly an exciting running shoe for runners everywhere.
