The totally new Mizuno Wave Rider 22 has come from a long line of successful cushioned, neutral running shoes. New updates to the midsole and upper of this shoe help to provide runners with a much smoother ride. Runners will feel a softness under the heel and superior breathability from a 2 layer engineered mesh upper design. At the heel, the Wave Plate features perforated holes that help promote a more flexible, springy transition during the run.

Upper: Features a 2 layer mesh upper design that stretches to adapt with the foot throughout the gait cycle. Padded tongue and softer heel collar enhance comfort. Lace-up front offers an adjustable fit.

Midsole: U4ic midsole compound in the topsole and a softer U4icX foam and wave plate in the heel. Premium anatomical sockliner. Features more flex grooves in the forefoot and a lateral crash pad.

Outsole: Durable rubber that allows for longer wear in high impact areas and provides more traction at the heel strike.
