Wave Intense Tour 5

COMMAND THE COURT

The Wave Intense Tour 5 provides both forefoot stability and rearfoot cushioning to help you achieve a performance on court that is both dynamic and smooth. It’s the perfect shoe for players who focus on overpowering their opponents with attacking groundstrokes from the baseline, and require maximum stability during lateral slides.

This updated version comes with a sleek and flexible no-sew upper, which has been reinforced so you can cope with the tough conditions on the court. You will also find that this shoe is packed with comfort, with the half bootie construction wrapping around the forefoot like a sock.

Combine this with a low-density AP+ compound for rearfoot cushioning to absorb heel strikes, and you have a shoe that will take your baseline game to new heights.

Key Technologies

Stabilizing quick sidesteps on the baseline and preventing sideslip of the sole, our Mizuno Wave technology allows you to direct all your focus on hitting that winner without worrying about straining your ankle. Mizuno Wave gives you maximum stability both in the midfoot and rearfoot and controlled cushioning during lateral movements. The sole is also equipped with two versions of our AP+ midsole.


The upper one provides cushioning to keep you comfortable at all times, while the lower one helps to stabilize the foot during powerful lateral movements.


Design Inspiration

For the Wave Intense Tour 5 we set out on a mission to make a powerful support tennis shoe that is light enough and comfortable. The upper was one of the key areas, and here we have focused on how to add flexibility and a softer feel, two elements that can be linked with lightness and comfort.


The design is inspired by truss structures and their strength to withstand pressure and provide support, despite being very minimalistic. This was the hint for a construction, which allows for usage of lighter and more flexible textile materials, while maintaining a high level of protection and support.
