Maximum grip
The Mizuno Wave Emperor 3 incorporates the G3 system in the outsole, so the model is able to ensure exceptional grip, while adding extra reactivity in the impulse phase.
Fit and breathability
Two features that come hand in hand with the AirMesh and Dynamotion Fit systems, all integrated into the upper of the Mizuno Wave Emperor 3 The former is responsible for increasing the degree of breathability, while the latter favors the shoe's fit to adapt to the movement of the foot throughout the foot strike cycle. In addition, and thanks to its lacing system, the fit is more personalized, as is the case in the heel area with the synthetic leather reinforcement.
Minimizing impacts
Through the SmoothRide system that reduces the impact of the foot with the ground in the three phases of the tread, and which contributes to the flexibility of the shoe itself is increased. This is the result of the flex cuts in the outsole, as well as the softened waves of the Wave system.
All in all, the Mizuna Wave Emperor 3 is designed as a training shoe, or mixed shoe, for running on asphalt, and for neutral runners. Drop of 9 millimeters and weight of about 190 grams.
