Mizuno Wave Horizon 8 Men's Running Shoes

Introducing the perfect shoe that combines top-class features for a floating run feel. The shoes make you feel like you're running on air due to the enhanced cushioning and energy return. The MIZUNO ENERZY NXT material combines a light weight, softness and energy return at the top midsole, complemented by MIZUNO ENERZY at the bottom midsole.

Smooth Stretch Woven Upper

The Wave Horizon 8 uses a stretch woven material to provide a sock-like fit and ultimate comfort. The ultra-lightweight material is highly breathable, allowing air to circulate through the shoes whilst removing built-up heat and vapour, which occurs during exercise, keeping feet fresh and cool. It maintains the correct foot position so you stay confident and in control. A traditional lacing system will allow you to secure the shoe to a comfortable and personalised fit. Completing the upper is a soft, padded ankle collar which reduces the risk of irritation caused by rubbing and chafing.

Mizuno Enerzy NXT and Enerzy Midsole

Featuring a dual midsole, the shoes feature Mizuno's latest bio-based technology, Mizuno Enerzy NXT, directly under your foot. This midsole foam provides an extremely soft and bouncy feeling. Mizuno Enerzy NXT is a next-generation material - it's ultra soft, responsive and assists in the next level of performance. This technology is lighter than previous Enerzy midsoles, featuring greater cushioning and enabling more output so you can keep pushing for much longer. This has been combined with Mizuno Enerzy, which provides amazing cushioning, comfort and a bouncy feel that will propel you with each step. Included in the midsole is Mizuno Wave Technology, wider than the previous iteration, which guarantees stability, controls shock absorption and enhances cushioning. The Wave's unique shape will absorb all energy from the strike of the foot on the pavement, where it is dispersed. This will protect the feet from heavy impacts. The midsole is bolstered by an integrated side wall that offers support. Adding to the cushioning, the shoes include a removable Premium Insock insole for instant step-in comfort.

X10 Outsole

The outsole of the Wave Horizon 8 is made with X10, the most durable carbon rubber that allows for longer wear in high-impact areas and supplements traction at heel strike. This helps lessen the impact on the knees and joints, allowing for a more comfortable ride and optimising gait efficiency. The outsole also ensures maximum grip and traction for a firm, assured footing so you can run with confidence and push yourself to the limit, time and time again. The forefoot flex grooves and flex controllers then work together to continue the smooth forward motion, resulting in an efficient fluid motion that allows runners to harness their power. The outsole itself is wider to increase stability.
