Technologies
Mizuno Wave
Inspired by nature, Wave is a unique mid sole technology that provides both cushioning and stability. Wave‘s unique shape absorbs and disperses the impact at foot strike, which results in a smoother, more cushioned feel one very step.
Mizuno Enerzy
Provides a well cushioned landing with amazing energy return. This midsole material surpasses all expectations of comfort set by previous materials.
Gore-Tex®
Gore-Tex® fabrics offer long-lasting, comfortable weather protection. The technology is based on an extremely thin membrane made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). Its pores are too small for rain to penetrate, yet big enough for perspiration to pass right through. Gore-Tex® products have a high waterproof rating (water column) and can withstand up to 28,000 mm of water pressure – more than monsoon rain. The membrane is bonded between an outer fabric and a high-performance lining. Depending on the construction, the result is either a 2-layer, 2.5-layer or 3-layer laminate. Gore-Tex® in a 3-layer construction offers a combination of enhanced durability and high breathability, while the 2-layer laminate provides lightweight weather protection.
