Another important novelty that comes to us from the renowned logo brand "Runbird" are the Mizuno Wave Mujin 7. The all-terrain trail running shoes of the Japanese brand that is updated with the right changes to continue maintaining its characteristic DNA: balance between cushioning, protection and durability, tailored to the most demanding and technical neutral runners to face long distances.
The new update of these Mizuno Wave Mujin 7 also retains that particular added valor of this iconic family of trail running shoes: comfort and grip to get you to increase that confidence that leads you to explore new routes and trails in the mountains. And of course, as usual, being able to adapt to the most adverse weather conditions.
There are sections in these Mizuno Wave Mujin 7 that remain unchanged and remain the same. Thus, the product developers of the Japanese company from Osaka maintain the commitment to build a consistent and reliable midsole, including the exclusive Float Wave platform to reinforce the softer cushioning that also favors a more natural movement during the race.
As in its predecessor, in this latest version of the Mizuno Wave Mujin 7, the Float Wave foam is accompanied by a layer of U4icX material, which reinforces the cushioning capacity of the shoe, but adding that extra reactivity in each stride.
After the significant changes in the upper of the Mizuno Wave Mujin 6, the same custom fit is also largely unchanged in the Mizuno Wave Mujin 7. Although the base remains very similar to the previous one, it is true that there are small changes aimed at increasing the feeling of comfort and adaptability of the shoe to the foot. Thus, the Mizuno Wave Mujin 7 features an upper with abreathable mesh upper, which is heat-sealed to avoid seams, and also to offer a higher degree of flexibility.
In terms of support, the shoe's wrap-around lacing helps the instep area to be well supported, but without the feeling of being constricted, and therefore does not restrict the most natural movements of the foot. The toe cap continues to be reinforced to offer more protection in the forefoot area of the shoe.
As for the outsole of the Mujin 7, you'll find more of the same. A reliable traction and grip system on any type of terrain. Something that comes from the combination of the solid and resistant Michelin compound and the Adaptive Traction technology.
Of course, and with the idea that these Mizuno Wave Mujin 7 provide the necessary security to move on any mountain route they bring with them a retractable heel mesh, which means that:
There are no substantial variations in the technical specifications of the Mizuno Wave Mujin 7, because they remain the same: standard 10-millimeterdrop and weights of about 380 grams for the men's version and about 270 grams for the women's model. All in all, we are talking about a robust and consistent design, but with superior cushioning, protection and comfort.
