Mizuno’s luxury cushioning shoe benefits from the introduction of U4ic X – the brand’s lightest midsole foam that offers runners the plushest, bounciest ride. A redesigned upper features a well-padded mesh with a more open toebox for a glove-like fit and standout comfort and breathability. When it comes to ride, a full-length Wave plate (a firmer plastic insert in the midsole which spreads and dissipates impact forces at foot strike), along with a slightly rounded heel profile, offer a smoother heel-to-toe transition.
