Mizuno Ekiden 10

With the endorsement of being the model that has been worn by a five-time triathlon world champion like Javier Gomez Noya, the tenth version of the Mizuno Ekiden presents changes with respect to its predecessor, the Mizuno Ekiden 9 Especially in the section that has to do with its upper, which has been redesigned with the idea of improving its fit. Here we must highlight the synthetic suede reinforcements that contribute to make the model feel like a glove on the foot.

The upper also features theDynamationFit system, which allows it to interact with the movement of the foot. In addition, this model features a cool and breathable AIRmesh, increasing comfort.

Flying, ultralight and flat shoes

The rest of the Ekiden 10 shoe does not differ much from the previous version, since the Japanese brand continues to bet on the Wave platform construction, in parallel, and produced with an ultralight resin, and the midsole with the U4iC cushioning system, which ensures a remarkable lightness.

The G3 outsole is in charge of guaranteeing both traction, since it has several types of cleats, and speed on asphalt pavement. It is also combined with the X10 compound, Mizuno's most solid and durable compound, which is placed in the areas of greatest wear, also improving the lifespan of the model, and the aforementioned traction.

The Mizuno Ekiden 10 also features an extremely flat last - 6 millimeters - and a toe box that is slightly lower than the usual models in the flyingRunning shoes segment. A detail that gives it extra stability.

The SmoothRide technology acts in the three phases of the stride, reducing the accelerations and decelerations of the foot, enabling a more dynamic and smoother run.

In short, the Mizuno Ekiden 10 are flying shoes, ultra-light (140 grams) and flat, capable of offering a great response to the runner in each stride he takes. Option indicated for competition, but also for speed training (series), and always with rhythms lower than 4 kilometers per minute.
