In our usual and recurring post of the shoe of the week we present the new Mizuno Wave Skyrise. A new running shoe that is already on the lips of all runners, and is called to become one of the great novelties of the season. Let's see what are its arguments in favor to say what we say about this model. But we can already tell you that you will be pleasantly surprised.
In one of our latest episodes of"Running at Home" of Runnea Podcast, dedicated to the best Running shoes 2020 top of the range, our product manager and alma mater of Runnea, Gorka Cabañas, defines these Running shoes Mizuno Wave Skyrise as "a real delight in terms of the sensations that transmits just put them on, and that maximizes the concept of adapting like a glove or sock to the foot, while increasing the feeling of maximum comfort".
Superior fit and an extraordinary level of comfort are the main hallmarks of these Wave Skyrise from Mizuno, but undoubtedly have much more to offer Ready and willing to tell you all the good things that bring this new release of the famous firm of the Runbird logo.
So, with the Wave Skyrise in hand, the first question to answer is: what runner profile are these new Running shoes from Mizuno aimed at? Despite being a new release with state-of-the-art materials and technologies, this model remains faithful to that recognizable style of the Japanese brand of shoes that offer maximum cushioning, but making a difference in terms of comfort and softness. Especially for all those heel runners, and that Mizuno always has very present both in its neutral silhouettes -such is the case of the Wave Skyrise and in the models of support and stability.
These Mizuno Wave Skyrise are designed for all types of distances, although it is true that it is an ideal model to move like a fish in water in the distances of half marathon, even for the demands of the marathon. Likewise, as a training shoe, it is suitable for long-distance runs, in which we seek to prioritize that feeling of running safely and comfortably rather than being aware of the pace of the race we are running.
Within the varied catalog of running shoes from Mizuno, these Wave Skyrise come to stand between the iconic Mizuno Wave Rider 23, the best-selling Mizuno Wave Sky 3, and even the successful runners of the Mizuno Wave Ultima 11 All reference models of the Osaka brand, and a select club that also wants to access these Mizuno Wave Skyrise in its own right.
The revolutionary Mizuno Wave Skyrise are based on the premise of seeing something new and unknown in the Japanese firm. In fact, the stellar role of its evolved midsole replicates the same resource that we have seen in the Mizuno Wave Sky 3, whose latest generation technology innovation lies in the combination of Foamwave foam and XPOP technology. The result is a shoe with a maximum level of comfort and optimal and smooth response for running with less fatigue. And in the particular case of these Wave Skyrise with a lighter weight than the third interaction of the Wave Sky 3
Looking at the Mizuno Wave Skyrise it is obvious that the characteristic Wave wave platform has given way to a more evolved foam such as the Wave Foam, although that wave format does not disappear completely to continue providing a more stable cushioning capacity, a trademark of the company, and also softer.
For its part, the new XPOP technology has its greatest consistency in the heel area, thanks to hundreds of tiny capsules that cushion each impact. This XPOP material is located between the two layers of U4ic and U4icX materials. The whole set has the mission of improving impact absorption in each stride, but also to increase comfort, stability and support in such a strategic point of the shoe.
With that firm purpose of providing a feeling of maximum comfort, the upper of these Mizuno Wave Skyrise also has a lot to contribute to the whole model. The Dynamotion Fit system is well integrated with the synthetic overlays of that engineered mesh to wrap around the foot, and ensure a more secure hold on every mile of your long runs.
Therefore, in these Mizuno Wave Skyrise everything is designed for the runner to enjoy a better running experience with very cushioned, smooth transitions that do not feel sluggish at all.
Our brief approach to these Mizuno Wave Skyrise, soon you will be able to expand all the information you need with the detailed review of our #RunTester Lionel Nattes, can not end without mentioning the technical specifications of this model.
