The U4ic is a full-length cushioning foam that provides responsive cushioning. It is 30% lighter than another of Mizuno’s midsole compounds, AP+.
An U4icX piece is placed in the heel section of the Wave Prodigy. This additional cushioning unit offers high-rebound cushioning and impact attenuation, traits that benefit the landing phase of the gait cycle.
A Parallel Wave plastic unit runs from the heel to the midfoot area. It disperses the impact energy that’s generated by the foot strike, thus easing the act of striking the foot on the ground.
Highly breathable and supportive
AirMesh is a soft material that is highly breathable. It has a netlike disposition, with small yet visible pores on its surface. Air can quickly be introduced in the foot chamber via these minute ports, giving a breezy experience for the foot.
The DynamotionFit is made of stretchy fabrics and elastic eyelets. This technology makes the upper unit more adherent to the natural shape and bending capacity of the wearer’s foot.
Overlays are strategically stitched to the upper. These layers of synthetic material hold the foot and keep it in place. They also bolster the structural integrity of the façade.
Hard-wearing outsole
Mizuno Wave Tour 5 Mizuno running shoe makes use of the X10, which is made of carbon rubber. This material is evanescent and hard-wearing. It protects the rest of the platform from wear and tear. It also provides traction as it adheres to the surfaces.
Flex grooves in the forefoot allow the platform to flex in tandem with the joints of the toes. Such a mechanism helps the toe-off phase to be energized.
The Mizuno Intercool is a series of ventilation channels that disperse heat from the platform. It’s helpful in maintaining an in-shoe environment that’s not stuffy or uncomfortable.
