Cushioning and energy output were significantly improved by incorporating NITROGEN INFUSED MIZUNO ENERZY NXT across the entire midsole. Combined with the stability provided by MIZUNO WAVE, this supports a smoother transition from touching the ground to pushing forward. The forefoot midsole thickness was increased by 2 mm, changing to a 10 mm drop, which boosted cushioning and energy output in the forefoot for even more comfort through pushing forward.
