The changes implemented to the Mizuno wave rider 23оригінал are as huge as its silhouette. So, expect a top-to-bottom update: 

  • The upper is now roomier in the toe box, and it departs from a and to a mesh upper for a rub-free sensation; 
  • For a stable, peppy, yet forgiving ride, the midsole's foams have been re-arranged, while the Wave plate has been removed, and; 
  • On the outsole, the rubber is thinner, moving away from the bottom-heavy Mizuno Wave Sky 4, and it has a more decoupled rear section (less rubber coverage) for weight saving.
