Yes, there is no doubt that it coexists with the long shadow of the Mizuno Wave Rider 20, but the Japanese company also has another of its reference models that has an important legion of followers, and whose longevity also speaks that it is a very well valued running shoe, to the point of becoming another of Mizuno's flagships. Thus, the Wave Creation family has continued to evolve edition after edition until reaching its nineteenth version.
The Mizuno Wave Creation 19 is a long-distance training shoe for heavy runners (up to 85 kilos) with a neutral stride, and it follows the same line as its previous versions. The course to follow is marked with very clear signs of identity: Maximum cushioning and extraordinary response, which are guaranteed by the innovative Infinity Wave construction, already seen in the Mizuno Wave Creation 18 Thanks to this technology the latest installment of the Wave Creation saga maintains a superior cushioning capacity, and also makes it possible that the response of the shoe does not back down one iota in its final grade: outstanding.
In addition to this latest cushioning concept from the Japanese manufacturer (Infinity Wave), the Mizuno Wave Creation 19 also incorporates the exclusive U4icX -inner sole- and U4ic foams along the entire length of the shoe's midsole, which serves to improve comfort in each stride, and therefore a more dynamic, fluid, smooth and flexible transition. Undoubtedly, these mix of materials and technologies place the Mizuno Wave Creation 19 as a top of the range model in cushioning from the Japanese company.
Another element that does not go unnoticed in the Wave Creation 19 is the inclusion of an anatomical Premium insole, which has the double mission of increasing the sensations under the foot, as well as the fit of the model.
On the other hand, the outsole of the Mizuno Wave Creation 19 has been designed to reinforce that premium cushioning aspect, but without sacrificing great abrasion resistance in the most exposed points of the model, and that comes from a solid rubber compound. Mizuno's signature X10 compound, Mizuno's most durable, and also capable of improving traction.
In the upper of the Mizuno Wave Creation 19, Mizuno 's designers have opted to include an Airmesh upper fabric, which not only gives the shoe better structure and flexibility, but also provides a formidable fit and breathability. All this also helps the runner to move more safely, and it should not be forgotten that these Wave Creation 19 haveDynamotion Fit technology, which adapts to the natural movement of the foot, offering perfect support. The result is none other than an ideal fit.
The technical specifications of the Mizuno Wave Creation 19 do not vary too much from its predecessor. A weight of 360 grams for the men's model and 305 grams for the women's version, and a 12-millimeter drop ensure great performance for neutral runners looking for maximum cushioning for long-distance training and even competitions, allowing them to feel comfortable and faster from the first kilometer to the last.
