Mizuno Wave Shadow 2 Running Shoes

Shave seconds off your normal run times with the Mizuno Wave Shadow 2 Running Shoes. With integrated DynamotionFit, the shoe is responsive, lightweight and gives you a perfect and unique glove-like fit.

AIRmesh Upper

Using Mizuno's developed technology, the upper mesh is made using AIRmesh. This ultra-lightweight material allows the shoe to maintain a high standard of breathability and comfort in the upper. A steady airflow enters and exits the shoe, which works to keep the feet feeling fresh and cool. With Mizuno's integrated DynamotionFit technology, the shoe is tailored to have a glove-like fit. The engineering of it means that it also adapts to your gait cycle, again making it feel personalised. The material that covers the toes is thicker, meaning that shocks from bumps and knocks are absorbed so the forefoot doesn't take on all the energy. Running up the foot, the laces are easy to tighten and loosen, whilst the padded tongue will ensure that you will find a comfortable fit inside them.

Wave Midsole

Many technologies developed by Mizuno are used in the midsole of the Wave Shadow 2. The Wave midsole is a unique technology that provides both cushioning and stability. The shape of it means that the energy created from strikes below are dispersed evenly, which makes landing feel more stable and cushioned. For added stability, the shoe uses SmoothRide. This is an engineered approach to minimise the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot during transition, which makes the ride smooth and enjoyable. For rebound as well as cushioning, ap+ is used in it. This is a lightweight compound that offers rebound and cushion durability, providing a high level of comfort. Another compound used is U4ic. This is another lightweight material that provides high comfort and performance. Working to keep the feet, and the shoe itself cool, Mizuno Intercool is an intricate system that will solve overheating problems. A full-length ventilation system in the sole of the shoe removes heat and humidity from the foot through ventilation channels.

X-10 Outsole

A durable carbon rubber compound, Mizuno's X-10 outsole allows for longer wear on rough surfaces than other outsoles. This increases the longevity of the shoe, as it will also retain its shape and strength. Multi-directional grooves and lugs act for both grip and to help remove liquid and mud. By being able to remove objects, this will ensure that the performance of it won't be hindered.
