Key Features
Dual-Layer MIZUNO ENERZY NXT Cushioning
An updated dual-density midsole combines nitrogen-infused MIZUNO ENERZY NXT foam on top with a firmer ENERZY NXT layer below, creating a ride that is softer, more responsive, and more stable than previous generations.
Full-Length MIZUNO WAVE® Plate
For the first time in the Wave Rider's history, a full-length Wave Plate provides smoother transitions, improved stability, and enhanced energy transfer without making the shoe feel overly stiff.
Smooth Rocker Geometry
A revised stack height and reduced 8 mm drop work together with the Wave Plate to create a more fluid heel-to-toe transition, delivering an effortless cruising sensation throughout your run.
Breathable Engineered Mesh Upper
The refined engineered mesh upper offers lightweight breathability and a secure fit, while a gusseted tongue enhances midfoot lockdown for all-day comfort.
Lightweight, Durable Outsole
A redesigned outsole with X10 carbon rubber in high-wear areas delivers reliable traction and long-lasting durability without adding unnecessary weight.
