Mizuno launches new Wave Enigma 3 training shoe

15th July 2013 Print

Mizuno has released the Wave Enigma 3, a neutral shoe that provides a powerful cushioning to weight ratio.

Due to Mizuno's clever new midsole technology, U4iC (pronounced 'euphoric'), the shoe is 30% lighter. Wave Enigma 3 is a soft, lush shoe, designed for neutral, high-mileage runners. The updated lightweight version retains the shock absorption qualities and cushioning of the AP+, promising a smooth and fast, yet cushioned ride.

Support comes from the anatomically engineered midsole geometry for stability, with full-length Parallel Wave (now lower in the midsole) delivering a smoother, silkier transition, plus support, enhanced by the articulated lateral side.

SmoothRide (SR) Touch Foam is an even lighter material than the predecessor's VS1 and offers up a small weight saving, plus even more shock absorption and greater propulsion through the whole running gait.

The Wave Enigma 3 is a clean-looking and uncluttered shoe: the air mesh upper has concealed welded straps inside the shoe, creating clean lines. Hidden micro-fibre materials with fantastic dimensional strength mean the upper is supportive, without being intrusive - creating a well-cushioned, stable, neutral shoe.

A lighter shoe, but not a lightweight - the Wave Enigma 3 offers durability with blown rubber forefoot and a light and cushioned X10 heel pad.
