Mizuno Technology
Mizuno loves sports. We make use of technology and expertise accumulated over the past 100 years through our experience and sports research. It is not easy for a technology to combine stability and cushioning at the same time. Excessive cushioning can result in losing energy efficiency during the ride. Too much stability may lead to running movement restrictions. The right technology should be able to balance the two aspects at once.
Mizuno Wave
Mizuno's Wave technology is the universal solution that guarantees a stable ride and greater dynamic cushioning. The Pebaxmaterial provide the Wave and exceptional resistance. The result? The shock is distributed all over the shoe platform reducing risk of injuries. The Wave hape is highly engineered to be positioned where stability is needed in order to offer the best combination of cushioning and stability.
Parallel Wave
Uniformly disperses shock throughout the sole, providing excellent cushioning and enhanced stability. Created for neutral runners that always choose footwear that not restrict their natural gait. The parallel wave follows the same shape on the lateral and medial areas to ensure an energy efficient heel to toe transition.
Infinity Wave
This technology has a more visible and effective construction. Two parallel plates that sit together with soft cushioning pillars in-between to provide unrivalled cushioning and improved durability by absorbing and dispersing the impact at foot strike.
Fan-shaped Wave
Features various Wave heights, delivering excellent cushioning and stability. Designed for runners that need certain level of support in order to anticipate tendency of over-pronation. Instead of blocking the movement, the specific fanshape contracts and expand following the runner's natural gait, bringing the ancle in the right position stride after stride.
Double Fan-shaped Wave
Gives the highest levels of support combined with excellent cushioning. This specific shape is the result of two fan shaped wave overlapping to provide even more support to runners which suffer of severe pronation. The Double Fan Shaped Wave provide increased movement control for a safer and more stable ride.
