X10 is the material that is used for the outsole unit of the Mizuno Wave Sky 3. This layer is made of carbon rubber, a famously durable compound that withstands the effects of constant use and exposure to the surfaces. It is also responsible for the traction capacity of the shoe, giving the foot a sensation of confidence and control over the surfaces.

While most Mizuno shoes have three forefoot flex grooves, the Wave Sky 3 has five shallow outsole channels that accentuate the smoothness of the heel-to-toe transitions. The toe-off phase of the gait cycle gains the most from this design as it is part of the step that involves the most foot flexion.

The outsole features a full ground contact configuration that ensures consistent and unwavering surface adhesion at all times. The midfoot portion even has rubber that maintains grip, even as the foot is merely transitioning through the step.

Pleasant underfoot experience

The midsole unit of this road running shoe is primarily made of the responsive yet slightly firm U4ic top sole and the spongy and impact-mitigating U4icX base. Both these elements work together, providing an energized performance during the running session. Idle standing also benefits from the luxurious two-layer configuration of the whole midsole unit. U4ic and U4icX are used in many of Mizuno’s series of shoes, including the long-running Wave Inspire line.

XPOP is a core piece that is placed at the center of the two-tech platform. This polyurethane (PU) piece is able to provide extra softness and responsiveness to the underfoot experience.

A fabric-topped insole is placed right above the primary cushioning feature. This add-on is able to provide a soft surface where the foot can rest and enjoy the overall ride. It can be removed or replaced with a new one if the runner wishes to do so.

The Mizuno Wave Sky 3's upper nit

The upper unit of the Mizuno Wave Sky 3 is made of AIRmesh. This technology is comprised of a multilayered fabric and an open-weave lattice that graces the exterior. The stretchy and form-welcoming nature of this material permits it to accommodate the natural shape and movement capacity of the foot. The open holes welcome environmental air into the foot-chamber, thus giving a ventilated in-shoe feel.

Cyclone overlays grace the sides and the eyestays. These synthetic elements buttress the structural integrity of the whole silhouette while also ensuring a secure wrap. The non-bulky construction of each layer prevents the product from being unwieldy, cumbersome, and bulky-looking.

The heel part has a stitched overlay that puts some oomph to the hug of the materials. The padded tongue and collar are charged with bringing some cushioning to the topmost portions of the foot, particularly the Achilles tendon, the ankles, and the bridge. These parts of the upper unit also avert in-shoe wobbling and accidental shoe removals.
