Mizuno Wave Skyrise 2

For the record, Mizuno already surprised with the launch of its first version, but now the Osaka brand is betting on a remarkable update with the launch of the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 2 A daily training shoe to make it miles with excellent cushioning and comfort, and that as an added valor incorporates the innovative Enerzy technology to improve the dynamics of the runner's race.

The essence of these running shoes Mizuno Wave Skyrise 2 remains the same of providing a perfect balance between cushioning, stability and comfort.

What's new in the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 2?

In the next lines we will talk about that innovative Mizuno Enerzy foam, but it is necessary to emphasize that one of the main novelties presented by this second edition of the Mizuno Wave Skyrise is that it abandons the traditional Wave plate. However, this does not mean that the company's star technology is being discarded, but simply that there is a change in the colorway. This time, the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 2 implements an evolved Foam Wave in the rear part of the shoe, in order to add more softness and comfort to the stride, without reducing its stability, but quite the opposite.

In addition, among the dual-density Foam Wave foam, the model also incorporates the new XPOP piece, joined to the U4ic material. Technological resource that we have already seen in its original version of the Mizuno Wave Skyrise, and that has the purpose of reinforcing that feeling of cushioned and comfortable tread, but also adding more reactivity.

Now it's time to talk about the Mizuno Enerzy technology, the main argument of the new Wave Skyrise 2 What does Mizuno achieve with this new foam? As simple and easy to say as optimal dynamism and flexibility to improve running sensations, since it is a softer compound. In addition, through this combination of latest generation foams, the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 2 also favors that each kilometer is exceeded with the perception of going faster and with better propulsion.

Upper and outsole of the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 2

If we talk about other points as strategic as the upper and outsole, in these sections the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 2 does not represent a significant change compared to its predecessor version.

The upper is again made of Engineered Mesh, but with a certain evolution, because it is more adaptable, lightweight and comfortable, while adding a more attractive touch to the whole. AIRmesh fabric to ensure good breathability of the model, but also maintains the commitment to the Dynamotion Fit design, a trademark of the Japanese house, to ensure that fit that maximizes comfort. The comfort section is reinforced with a very padded ankle collar, which the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 2 implements from its big sisters, the Mizuno Wave Sky 4.

It is also not surprising that the outsole of these Wave Skyrise 2 comes configured with X10 carbon rubber, since it is the most solid and resistant of Mizuno to give you the grip you need at all times and for all types of surfaces, and also contributes to prolonging the life of the shoe.

Mizuno Wave Skyrise 2, profile of runner to whom they are oriented

By the way, one last technological note, these Mizuno Wave Skyrise 2 also include the well-known SmoothRide technology, which translates into smoother transitions.

The technical specifications of these Wave Skyrise 2 hardly vary with respect to the previous model, since they still present a standard 10-millimeter drop and weights of approximately 300 grams for the men's version, and about 240 grams for the women's model.

We cannot finish this technical review of the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 2 without referring to the type of runner they are aimed at. This is a daily training shoe with very good cushioning and stability, as well as exceptional comfort, which makes it one of the great allies for runners of any weight and neutral footstep, but who like to run and run non-stop miles on asphalt, compacted earth and not very technical terrain. If you move at rather soft and calm paces, above 4:30 min/km, and even slower, these Mizuno Wave Skyrise 2 are designed for you to adjust them and go out to run with the best sensations.

What's more, bringing up the detailed analysis of our experienced #RunTester, Lionel Nattes, about the first version of the Mizuno Wave Skyrise, this model stands out for being an option indicated as:

Shoe with a lot of comfort and top cushioning for long-distance races with finisher optics, very few "buts" to put on them.

With such premises, the bar is quite high for the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 2, although with the incorporation of Mizuno Enerzy technology and those small changes in its upper, surely Mizuno has found the exact key to continue maximizing those feelings ofcomfortable and smooth races, but also enjoying a better response and dynamism. In fact, and with only two editions on the market, this Mizuno model has carved a niche for itself among the top of the range.
