Mizuno Wave Rider 22

The Mizuno Wave Rider 22 are the iconic Running shoes of the Japanese brand as a top model of cushioning to undertake long distances with the best guarantees of success. As usual, Mizuno designers maintain the hallmark of the Wave Rider saga as maximum cushioning, but, as it could not be otherwise, this new update of one of the star products of the running universe brings significant changes to these Wave Rider 22 become a more flexible, dynamic and comfortable model, without reducing its cushioning capacity.

Thus, and with respect to its predecessor version of the Mizuno Wave Rider 21, this twenty-second edition of the long-lived Wave Rider Running shoes brings with it changes in both its construction and its finishes.

Mizuno Wave Rider 22, outstanding novelties

As the Japanese brand itself states: "The dynamism is in the detail", the Wave Rider 22 continues to include the most advanced technologies of the Mizuno brand. Thus, the midsole has been completely renewed. The feeling is that of wearing a lower profile model, but the U4ic and U4icX compounds are still the star materials, together with the CloudWave platform, the combination is perfect for the model to be a reference in terms of cushioning capacity, impact dispersion, even stability and flexibility. The CloudWave plate is lighter than previous versions of the Wave system. The end result is that the runner can enjoy a firmer, but also more responsive stride.

Another important new feature of the Mizuno Wave Rider 22 is in its upper, which features a more modern and cleaner update. All thanks to the implementation of engineered mesh, and its two different mesh types. That is, the lower mesh can be stretched, if movements are shorter; while the upper layer provides greater support to the foot. With this double mesh resource, Mizuno achieves that the comfort and support of the model are greater, and it can be worn as if it were a second skin. In addition, both the tongue and the collar allow the fit of the shoe to be unrestricted.

Although the outsole of the Mizuno Wave Rider 22 has a new pattern and a greater number of flex grooves, the characteristics hardly vary with respect to previous models of the Wave Rider saga: resistant and durable.

In addition, a new heel wedge design, compared to the previous version, the Mizuno Wave Rider 21, has been included with the firm purpose of reinforcing both the fluidity and the cushioning of the model.
