A 30-Year Legacy of Smooth, Reliable Comfort for Daily Miles
For 30 years, the Mizuno Wave Rider has delivered dependable everyday comfort to help you cruise through all your daily miles. The newest iteration takes this comfort to the next level with a new midsole design, redesigned upper, and more cushioning than ever before.
The Wave Rider 30 takes a new approach to underfoot comfort with a layered midsole design. The top layer of nitrogen-infused EVA ENERZY NXT foam and bottom layer of traditional EVA ENERZY NXT foam work together to deliver more spring, smoothness, and balance with every stride.
Between the two midsole layers, you’ll find a full-length embedded Wave Plate. This plate is paired with the high stack of midsole foam to help distribute pressure and enhance stability. On top of the foot, the new engineered knit upper creates a snug and secure fit with maximum breathability. The gusseted tongue also helps reduce any unwanted movement to keep the feet locked in place.
And because the Wave Rider is best suited for daily miles, you can feel confident that the shoe will hold up for miles and miles. The X10 rubber outsole provides superior grip and durability, so you can enjoy all these new and improved features for all your training runs and beyond.
