History : Wave Enigma Series : Enigma('11)

Air Mesh™ : A breathable lightweight open weave mesh with overlays to lock down the foot while providing un-restricted movement.

AP™+, Midsole : Is Mizuno's top of the line full length midsole copolymer material that is lighter weight and has better energy return than AP : AP Midsole™ : Acceleration Polymer Responsive Midsole : Lightweight high rebound midsole material to give greater momentum at take-off.

Blown Rubber, Forefoot : Is lightweight and flexible. It provides added cushioning while maintaining durability and a smooth ride.

Dynamotion Fit™ : Traditional footwear distorts during the stress of the gait cycle, causing heel slippage, poor fit and wasted energy. The Dynamotion Fit Technology relieves this stress through its high-tech construction, thereby ensuring a proper fit, maximized performance and an enhanced running experience.

Intercool™ : Solves the problem of heat and humidity build-up in a running shoe by incorporating a full-length ventilation system.

OrthoLite Sockliner : An anti-microbial and moisture wicking insole that promotes a healthy environment for feet.

Parallel Wave®, Full-length : Gender specified wave plate Wave™, uniformly disperses shock throughout the sole, providing excellent cushion and enhanced stability : Wave® Plate : The only technology that combines two distinctly different elements that are both inherently necessary in great athletic shoes.

Smooth Ride™ : Gender specific network of grooves and system, 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.

X10™, Rearfoot : Provides the most durable carbon rubber from Mizuno that allows for longer wear in high impact areas and provides more traction at heel strike.

VS-1™ : Absorbs shock and enhances cushioning properties by resisting compression-set, thus extending the cushioning life of the shoe.
