AP Midsole™ : Lightweight, responsive, yet durable cushioning copolymer.

Dynamotion Fit : Design technology that relieves the stress the foot naturally places on footwear, eliminating distortion for the perfect fit.

SmoothRide™ : Designed to minimize the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot through the phases of the running gait cycle. This reduces shock vibration and increases flexibility.

Wave Technology® : Cushioning and Stability. The only technology that combines two distinctly different elements that are both inherently necessary in great athletic shoes.

Wet Traction™ : Bi-Directional outsole rubber compound breaks through water, improving grip in all conditions.

X-10™ : Provides the most durable carbon rubber from Mizuno that allows for longer wear in high impact areas and provides more traction at heel strike.
