Undoubtedly the Mizuno Wave Rider 20 are the Running shoes with maximum cushioning most awaited by the fans of the Japanese brand. And we already have here this version 20 that comes with improvements especially in its upper and in its weight, a lighter one that is around 290 grams.
The essence of the Mizuno Wave Rider 20 follows in the wake of the Mizuno Wave Sayonara 4 but obviously bringing a plus of cushioning thanks to its new foam technologies that have already been used previously in the Mizuno Wave Rider 19 as is the U4ic compound -material 30% lighter than EVA-, and that contributes to improve the response of the shoe, without sacrificing cushioning.
These Mizuno Wave Rider 20 maintain the 12 mm drop as in the Rider 19 version.
The upper of the Mizuno Wave Rider 20 arrives with different mesh with good ventilation and a better fit thanks to its Z-shaped inner design.
The outsole of the new Mizuno Wave Rider 20 continues to use the X10 compound, which gives it a plus in durability and grip. It also incorporates SmoothRide technology that helps to smooth the transition in each step. We see 2 large transversal flexion lines that will give great flexibility to the model helping in the take-off of the footprint.
The Mizuno Wave Rider 20 will continue to be a model for medium weight runners up to 75-80 kg in men and women looking for good cushioning, stability and reactivity. They can be used both in training and competition at medium paces.
