W Wave Inspire 16 Waveknit

The Mizuno Wave Inspire 16 continues to feature the same underfoot cushioning as previous versions and delivers a firm and responsive ride for the moderate overpronator. The Wave Inspire 16 provides plenty of stability by utilizing a Double Fan Wave that helps combat overpronation, while the flex groove system enhances the shoe’s flexibility. What’s new: Better midfoot lockdown Midsole Technology: Cloudwave consists of a redesigned elastic, thermal plastic wave running from the heel to the midfoot, creating an incredibly springy and well-cushioned ride. Smooth Ride is a gender-specific network of grooves that minimizes the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot to create a smooth heel to toe ride. U4ic is a lightweight midsole that provides optimal shock absorption, improved durability, and a resilient ride. U4icX Heel Wedge is a lighter, more cushioned version of U4ic that delivers a soft, pillowy underfoot feel for cushion upon impact. Double Fan Wave provides a stable ride to reduce pronation without increased stiffness. Outsole Technology: X10 located in the heel is made of durable carbon rubber for enhanced traction. Blown rubber in the forefoot increases cushioning and responsiveness. Flex Controllers placed in high flex areas on the outsole act as miniature wave plates for increased flexibility and reduced weight. Upper Technology: Engineered Mesh offers a softer fit and a more wearable look. Dynamotion Fit creates an optimal fit with stretch material in the forefoot and a collar construction that prevents the heel collar from buckling under load. Stitched Overlays on the medial and lateral sides help secure the foot in place. U4icX Strobel Lasting board for a comfortable and cushioned underfoot feel.
