The Mizuno Wave Enigma 3 is the top of the range running shoe in cushioning for neutral runners over 75 kg who are also looking for a responsive model.
It is the perfect training shoe for runners who run all kinds of distances at paces slower than 04:30 m/km.
The main novelty of this update is the new U4IC midsole material, 30% lighter than the AP+ (foam used by Mizuno in the Enigma 2).
To achieve a softer landing, the SR Touch has been introduced in the heel. A wedge-shaped system. It is located between 2 layers of U4ic foam. Its mission is to reduce the firm impact provided by the Wave technology.
Wave: Platform located in the midsole in the shape of a wave that is capable of dispersing the impact force of the foot strike over a wider surface, improving cushioning.
Dynamotion Fit Technology: It is actually the sum of several technologies that create an upper that acts during the movement of the foot to provide a more comfortable run.
Smoothride: Technology applied to the sole of the shoe that seeks a fluid transition of the footprint.
Mizuno Intercool: This is a ventilation system throughout the midsole, which reduces the temperature of the foot by expelling the heat generated during running.
X-10 Technology: Rubber compound that ahpra is more durable and are strategically placed in areas of the foot that most impact on the ground. In turn, it helps traction.
