Weighing in at just 230gm and with an ultra low profile, this shoe targets the runners who thrive in the head to head battles of 5 to 10k.

Although featuring a lower profile, the lateral (outside) side of the Wave still provides shock absorption at heel strike to attenuate shock 1. A combination of the Wave 2 and full length AP+ midsole cushions the foot at midstance. As wave rises on medial side it provides progressive support Low profile full length AP+ midsole 4 with new SmoothRide forefoot flex controllers 5 allows the optimum efficiency toe off.

Features Mizuno Wave Technology:
Our flagshop running technology that changed everything.

The genesis for Wave came as our engineers studied the way nature deals with impact forces. From sound waves to tidal waves, waveforms spread and dissipate energy incredibly quickly. Inspired by nature's simple efficiency, we created the world's first and most effective mechanical midsole - the Mizuno Wave.

Unlike other shoe technologies, as your foot touches the ground, Wave actually reduces and redirects impact forces away from your foot. Wave acts much like your car's suspension - offering cushioning and leeping your foot centered in your shoe throughout your stride. Our engineers have developed multiple Wave shapes, so we can gear different shoes to fit the unique strides of different runners. And Wave's compact form keeps the shoe sleeker and lighter than competative systems. So whether you're jogging around the neighbourhood or blasting past the 20-mile marker, Wave always feels amazing underfoot.


Features SmoothRide:
SmoothRide is the result of years of development designed to the most fluid, smooth, rocking-chair like motion in every step.

SmoothRide begins working the moment your foot touches the ground. Flex Grooves in the heel promote natural movement from the back of your foot to the front, initiating that rocking-chair motion. Our AP+ Midsole gives the shoe a bouncier feel. And Flex Grooves and Flex Controllers in the forefoot work together to smoothly continue the roll forward to give your foot a more solid platform at toe-off. It all adds up to a more fluid, enjoyable run, every time you head out.
