Mizuno Wave Sky 8 Running Shoes, Blue Wing Teal/Neo Silver/River Blue

The premium running shoe is intended for neutral runners who seek maximum comfort and cushioning.
The main advantage of Mizuno running shoes is the balance of cushioning, stability, and responsiveness, as well as the smooth transition from toe to heel and vice versa.
The Wave Sky 8 is a top-tier neutral running model with an emphasis on comfort and cushioning. The new upper part of the shoe consists of Smooth Stretch fabric, which is more breathable and comfortable, while also providing better foot stabilization.
The midsole is also completely new, with a new construction of the Mizuno Foam Wave. The new Wave construction consists of a combination of Enerzy and Enerzy NXT materials, offering runners an optimal balance of stability, comfort, cushioning, and responsiveness. The new Sky 8 is even 10% lighter than its predecessor.
The outsole is made of new X10 carbon rubber, which provides excellent grip on various surfaces.
The new Wave Sky 8 is also suitable for heavier runners due to the stability provided by the new foam Wave plate.
The fabric, lining, and insole are made from 90% recycled materials.

Technologies:

• MIZUNO WAVE - A unique technology that combines two essential elements for excellent running shoes – comfort and stability. During running, excessive forces and tension occur throughout the body, so to minimize the risk of injury, it is necessary to ensure the right combination of comfort and stability. The Wave plate provides excellent shock absorption by spreading the impact force over a larger area. The stability of Wave technology is achieved on the outer (lateral) and inner (medial) surfaces of the shoe, which is designed to stabilize the foot. The basic elements of comfort and stability in the Wave plate are designed to be suitable for all types of sports footwear, resulting in the lightest and most advanced shoes with the highest performance.
• Mizuno Enerzy - A new material in the lower part of the midsole, softer, providing more comfort and greater energy returnthan any material so far. This energy return makes running faster.
• SMOOTH STRETCH WOVEN - A new fabric in the upper part of the shoe that is more breathable and offers very soft and comfortable foot grip. The new material stretches laterally and prevents excessive longitudinal stretching, providing additional foot stabilization.
• SMOOTH RIDE - A technology that provides optimal comfort and enjoyment during running. The new midsole developed by Mizuno is based on the latest computer simulations of running. Smooth Ride allows better shock absorption and increases the flexibility of running shoes. The extended Wave plate creates an easier transfer of weight from heel to toe.
• X10 - A special rubber that is 80% more durable than the existing one. It is placed on the part of the sole that wears out the most, effectively protecting the sole and extending the life of the shoe.
