Footwear

Performance-focused innovation has always driven us at Mizuno. There is no greater example of this than the revolution that is Wave technology. From its start, Wave changed running shoe design. But we didn’t stop there. In fact, because athletes in nearly every sport include some sort of running in their training regimen, our shoe technologies affect more athletes than anything else we do. We’re proud of that. And we’re continuing to develop new ideas and new technologies that work in harmony with your body to make you an even better you.

Airmesh

Breathable and Cool. AIRmesh allows each running shoe from Mizuno to maintain a high standard of breathability for the life of the shoe, and allows the foot to stay cool.

AP+

Enhancing the inherent properties of AP midsole, AP+ offers increased rebound and a "bouncier" feeling, which extends the cushion durability, while maintaining the light weight performance.

AP

AP midsole functions as a light weight, responsive, yet durable cushioning copolymer.

G3 Sole

G3, a new performance outsole component that enhances traction where needed most and reduces weight

Intercool

Cool and Dry. Mizuno Intercool solves the problem of heat and humidity build-up in a running shoe, by incorporating a full-length ventilation system in the sole of the shoe that removes heat and humidity from the foot through a system of ventilation channels.

VS1

Shock absorption and Cushioning. VS-1 absorbs shock and enhances cushioning properties by resisting compression-set, thus extending the cushioning life of running shoes.

Wet Traction

Bi-Directional outsole rubber synthetic leather compound breaks through water, improving grip in all conditions.

X10

Durability and Traction. X-10 provides the most durable carbon rubber from Mizuno that allows for longer wear in high impact areas and provides more traction at heel strike.

GENDER ENGINEERING

Based on biomechanical research into the differences between mens and womens gait. Mizuno constructs the Midsole/Outsole of each gender differently to improve the ride, performance and comfort.
