As it could not be otherwise in this first quarter of 2022 we continue adding news and releases to the catalog of Running shoes. This time it comes in the form of a new update, and we talk about the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3 A model, that edition after edition, continues to add loyal followers. The key to its success: its great balance between cushioning, comfort and response for your regular workouts on asphalt.
The revision of these Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3 comes with qualitative improvements so that these Running shoes with maximum cushioning continue to maintain that privileged position in the segment of models that offer unparalleled sensations in the race. If you try them, you will surely not want to take them off at any time. With these Wave Skyrise 3 you will run as if you were floating every kilometer. The slogan used by the renowned Japanese brand to define them.
What is the runner profile of these renewed Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3?
Despite all the improvements that bring with them these renewed Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3, the profile of runner to which they are addressed does not change: runners with neutral footstep who opt for a daily training shoe with soft and stable cushioning, and for all types of distance. As well as for a variety of race paces, but above 4:40 min/km.
Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3, its most outstanding innovations
It is a distinctive feature and a non-negotiable characteristic of all Mizuno models, so these Wave Skyrise 3 include the Wave corrugated platform to ensure the level of stability and responsiveness of the shoe. However, the main novelty of this third version of the Skyirse is the inclusion of the Mizuno Enerzy Core technology. Thus, this combination of materials favors a more specific midsole construction capable of offering a soft cushioning, as well as a great energy return. In this way, the floating concept of the midsole design contributes to reinforce the flexibility during the impulse phase, while maximizing the feeling of a more cushioned and protective footprint during the landing phase.
On the upper of these Wave Skyrise 3 from Mizuno, the bet is still on that Engineered Mesh upper to ensure both breathability and a more comfortable fit. However, there is a small nuance that gives a qualitative leap to the model, as this technical fabric, and computer design, is softer in the front to improve ventilation and adaptability to the foot.
On the other hand, it is already a trend in many of Mizuno's reference models, and these Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3 are also defined as vegan running shoes. This means that this silhouette is not made with any material of animal origin. While such strategic points as the ankle collar area and the laces are made of recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate plastic). So with these Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3 you will do your bit for the environment, because it is a more sustainable shoe.
There is also a substantial change in the outsole of these Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3, the new distribution of the grooves provide more flexibility, especially when taking impulse. In the heel area, rubber reinforcements are included in the areas most exposed to wear, but these also have the mission of absorbing impacts better and more resistance.
Technical specifications of Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3
Finally, in the chapter of technical specifications, these Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3 also present significant improvements. In fact, there is a variation in their drop, because there is a change of concept in the geometry of the shoe from the standard 10 millimeters of the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 2 to the 8 millimeters of these Wave Skyrise 3. The heel heights are 30 mm in the forefoot and 38 mm in the heel area.
Regarding the weights, these Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3 are able to stay below the psychological barrier of 300 grams. What's more, the men's model weighs around 294 grams, while the women' s Running shoes weigh 255 grams. Details that confirm these Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3 as one of the lightest options within the top of the rangeRunning shoes in cushioning.
Review of Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3
Gorka Sedano
TesterMizuno Wave Skyrise 3, a daily training shoe with top-of-the-line performance for all purposes.
Within the varied and inexhaustible catalog of running shoes, practically all brands have an option with these characteristics. Namely, that "enjoyable"shoe for running at different paces over different distances, ensuring exceptional comfort and also protection. All these features are well reflected in the renewed Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3. In this review I will tell you everything you need to consider it as an option for your daily workouts.
After testing these running shoes Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3:
- Very soft cushioning: all designed to make the feeling of comfort is more than noticeable from the first to the last kilometer.
- Great energy return: to highlight this model for running at dynamic paces.
- Excellent stability: support brand of the house to offer firmness and more control in the tread.
Since the launch of the first version of the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3, the claim has remained the same: running with the sensation of floating. Few running shoes are able to offer the level of comfort provided by the Wave Skyrise 3. But also offering good responsiveness.
Runner profile of the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3
The combination of an exceptional soft cushioning level and optimal energy return will make this third version of Mizuno 's Wave Skyrise that daily training shoe that ensures good protection and security for high mileage volumes, but also enough responsiveness to move at faster paces. The typical "fun" running shoe that responds when you demand it and your body asks you to pick up the pace. Always with maximum comfort underfoot.
Thinking about the profile of Runner, these Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3 are aimed at runners / as neutral, intermediate or high weights. It is even recommended for runners with flat feet due to its wide last.
For all kinds of distances and for different running paces, because they can be included in the segment of those models designed to run at 4"30", and going up to more controlled and smooth paces. That's why my phrase to define these Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3 is: an enjoyable training shoe, but with mixed behavior. A "false" mixed of the best cushioned on the market.
What we liked most about the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3
To tell you about the virtues of these Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3, nothing better than to tell you in what kind of training sessions I have used them.
Daily runs
their natural habitat is the daily training sessions on asphalt. Three workouts a week at least, responding to perfection in distances that have gone up to 12 kilometers at the most. But certainly don't rule it out for even longer distances. My jogging pace is 5:45 min/km. You can certainly go slower with them. Comfort sensations totally satisfactory, and nothing to envy to other top of the range as the Mizuno Wave Rider 25, Mizuno Wave Ultima 13 or Mizuno Wave Sky 5
Slopes
The real litmus test to say that this Mizuno model can perform with that maximum cushioning mixed shoe concept. On the 60 or 70 meter uphill series, the GPS on my sports watch determined that I was able to run at 4:40 paces, even with intervals at slightly lower times.
Treadmill
The pleasant surprise I had with these Wave Skyrise 3 from Mizuno is that they exceeded my expectations on the treadmill mat. Perfect for the warm-up and cool-down phase, but also to accumulate kilometers in sessions of controlled paces, and even with intervals at faster paces, playing with the higher speeds and inclination of the treadmill.
On the other hand, I take advantage of this section to mention two other details of this model from the Japanese company:
LowerDrop.
Mizuno product developers have opted to reduce the height of the geometry of the shoe, going from a more standard drop of 10mm. of the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 2 to 8mm. that presents this third interaction of the Wave Skyrise saga. A resource that allows the shoe to be lighter, favoring more natural footsteps, being more dynamic and reactive.
SustainableShoe
What's more, as pointed out by the brand itself, this Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3 is a 100% vegan model. This means that no material of animal origin has been used in the manufacturing process. In addition, the collar and laces are made of recycled PET. So extra point for the Mizuno staff.
Opportunities for improvement of the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3
While it's true that the midsole reconfiguration has upped the performance of these MizunoWave Skyrise 3, that combination of the Mizuno Enerzy foams , Enerzy Core and the signature Wave platform with the U4icX material offers an unmatched level of comfort softness and cushioning. However, with the passage of kilometers, and as fatigue accumulates in the legs, this compound is somewhat softer and flimsier than some of the most popular models of the Japanese brand. This gives a certain feeling of instability, adding more stress than necessary on the joints of the foot.
On the other hand, although the level of breathability has improved significantly with respect to previous versions with the inclusion, in long distance runs, I have noticed moments of "hot spots" in strategic areas of the
What are the direct rivals of these Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3?
When it comes to establishing which models in the current market can be compared with this third installment of the Wave Skyrise from Mizuno, I will tell you, at a glance, these alternatives:
Conclusions about the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3
With all that said I do not want you to misunderstand me, and better to leave things alone, we talk about the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3 as an option recommended for daily workouts, but given its great versatility regarding distances and rhythms allow you to give them different uses in your weekly running sessions. Hence we can add that certain "touch of mixed", taken with tweezers, for those looking for a versatile and dynamic model, but without sacrificing maximum cushioning.
It is true that the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 2 already set the bar very high, but the Mizuno staff has been able to evolve and improve these Mizuno Wave Skyrise 3 with that perfect balance between cushioning, energy return and comfort. Essential variables to complete any type of training with the maximum guarantees.
