- Updated Heel Construction
- The back heel edge has been moved forward by 4mm to accommodate a more cushioned heelstrike. The heel wedge has also been increased by 2mm to create a softer heel contact
- Gender Engineering
- Research carried out by Mizuno has indicated that there is a significant difference between the biomechanics of men's and women's running gaits. The tests revealed that the angle velocity and speed of pronation is higher in women than in men. The research also found that the transition of the foot strike is slower in men than in women and also the angle of the foot strike is more severe in women than in men. Due to this reasearch Mizuno have tried to design the trainers to acomodate for these differences
- Dynamotion Fit
- The next generation of design technology to maximize fit and performance. Mizuno discovered that traditional footwear distorts in the collar and heel during the gait cycle resulting in heel slippage and a poor fit. This technology relieves the stress the foot naturally places on footwear-eliminating discomfort for a perfect fit
- X10 Carbon Rubber Outsole
- Very durable outsole designed to withstand the high impact on the heel
- VS1 Cushioning Pad
- Provides highly effective cushioning at heel strike, minimising the risk of arch collapse
- Mizuno Pebax Rnew Wave
- A new material designed with the environment in mind, the new Wave Material has a lower carbon footprint
- Airmesh
- For lightweight breathability keeping your foot from sweating and over-heating
