Air Mesh™ : Provides the utmost in breathability and comfort of the upper.

AP+ Midsole™ : Mizuno's top of the line full length mid-sole copolymer material that is lighter weight and has better energy return than AP.

Gender Specific : Individually tailored to the specific needs of each segment of running population : Female Runner’s Needs : Women have a wider pelvis than men, which causes them to pronate more when their feet land. Additionally, less muscle mass and softer connective tissue increase the speed at which the ankle rolls inward. By making the soles more flexible with more pronounced flex grooves, and the outside heel more rounded, a softer landing will occur, slowing the inward roll of the ankle, producing a more desired result for the female runner : Male Runner’s Needs : Since men are generally heavier than women, their running shoes must be able to absorb greater impact. Running shoe soles with inadequate width can lead to a feeling of insecurity. Therefore, Mizuno has introduced a wider, slightly flared sole, increasing the landing area in the running shoes specifically designed for men. The result is a more stable and secure run.

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

Smooth Ride Engineering™ : Maximum Comfort, Ultimate Feel, Unsurpassed Performance. Learn more about this New Technology.

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

Wave™ Plate : Provides both cushioning and stability. The only technology that combines two distinctly different elements that are both inherently necessary in great athletic shoes.
