Une chaussure pensée pour tous les coureurs
The Wave Rider 29 marks a significant evolution of this iconic shoe. The new Mizuno Enerzy NXT foam, enriched with nitrogen, replaces the old Enerzy for more dynamic cushioning and improved energy return. The Wave plate, still present, is now slightly elevated, favoring a smoother rolling of the foot. Finally, the adoption of a 10 mm drop improves ride and comfort, correcting the slight discomfort felt on previous versions, for a more natural, pleasant stride on all your outings.
New Enerzy NXT foam: softer cushioning and better energy return for a more dynamic stride.
Smoother transitions: a redesigned midsole for smoother heel-to-toe transitions.
Optimized lightness and support: the shoe remains stable and comfortable over all distances, ideal for intensive training.
X10 outsole: more durable and offering better grip on roads and urban paths.
The Wave Rider 29 stands out for its versatility and performance on most types of outings. Its only limitations appear on pure speed sessions, such as short repeats, due to its weight and smoother ride. On the other hand, for all moderate-pace training, from basic endurance jogging to long road outings, the shoe excels. It offers comfortable cushioning, responsive response and a fluid stride, making it an ideal choice for regular runners and long distances.
