It is evident that one of the references for the runner who needs stability control from Mizuno is in the Inspire saga. And the last ones to arrive, the Mizuno Wave Inspire 15 are a new update but without radical changes to what the Japanese brand has presented in previous versions, especially as far as technologies are concerned. This revision has its raison d'être in making this model friendlier, lighter and even more dynamic.
As the slogan with which the Osaka house baptizes these Mizuno Wave Inspire 15: "Experience is everything". This running shoe keeps in that line of offering outstanding cushioning and support in each stride for all those runnenates who enjoy high mileage on asphalt. As it could not be otherwise we are talking about a top of the range model with maximum stability, but this time it has been revised to be more dynamic, and even faster.
With all this, and with respect to the Mizuno Wave Inspire 14, this latest release of the Wave Inspire 15 presents two substantial improvements, and that make this model experience a leap in quality.
That said, the Mizuno Wave Inspire 15 continues with the same philosophy as its predecessor, the Mizuno Wave Inspire 14. That is, the cushioning capacity is in the hands of the combination of materials, U4ic and U4icX, which favors a more resistant, but also sensitive tread. In addition, Mizuno s Wave plate serves to separate the dual density of the midsole. The more sensitive part (U4ic) and the firmer zone (U4icX), which makes the stride more efficient, and also more protected.
As these Mizuno Wave Inspire 15 are designed to face long distance runs, with all that this implies in terms of spending long training times on the road, the upper of these Wave Inspire 15 has been updated with a new mesh. It is a mesh with a more modern design, and its number one objective is to offer a perfect fit. At the same time it also serves to reduce the weight of the shoe.
All of this means that the Mizuno Inspire 15 is able to offer more and better adaptability of its upper, without compromising the premise of stability.
In the outsole of these Mizuno Wave Inspire 15 are also present two technologies, which have become hallmarks of Mizuno such as X10 carbon rubber rubber and SmoothRide. The combination of both materials provides stability and comfort for a more pleasant contact sensation. Of course without neglecting support and traction.
Of course, as it has an independent design, the sole incorporates a new Heelwedge to provide the model with a higher level of flexibility.
A detail to keep in mind about these Mizuno Wave Inspire 15 is that they are placed below the 300 grams weight barrier, more specifically in the 290 grams, which makes a running shoe more dynamic, lighter and faster than in previous versions.
