Mizuno Wave Sky Waveknit 3

The new Mizuno arrives on the market! The new arrivals Mizuno Wave Sky Waveknit 3 land in the catalog of the Japanese brand to follow in the wake of the success of its predecessors, the Wave Sky 3. As already happened with other remodels, these Running shoes with maximum cushioning appear with greater elasticity, comfort and softness.

The main difference to take into account with respect to its original version of the Wave Sky 3 is that the Mizuno Wave Sky Waveknit 3 has a renewed upper, made of an interwoven textile mesh that provides greater lightness to the whole. This is a shoe created for runners weighing over 80 kilos and with a neutral stride, but with a slight weight reduction, a feature that is highly demanded by this type of athlete.

Mizuno Wave Sky Waveknit 3, features of a non-stop running shoe

As the main difference compared to its predecessor, the MizunoWave Wave Sky Waveknit 3 incorporates the Upper Knit fabric, a textile mesh that provides greater lightness and comfort. A technology that we have already been able to differentiate in other previous versions of the house of Osaka as the Mizuno Wave Rider Waveknit 3. Continuing in the upper, we can discover technologies already implemented in other high-end models, such as the U4icX system for a more comfortable footprint . In this way, the new Mizuno Wave Sky Waveknit 3 is presented as a model that molds perfectly to the foot, favoring a continuous comfort in running.

The midsole is distinguished by the systems already seen in its predecessors the Mizuno Wave Sky 3, the XPOP polyurethane foam technology and the Foam Wave. Both allow for a new support experience with greater elasticity, softness and comfort. In addition, the inclusion of the U4ic system also contributes to lighten the weight of the model, while still offering the necessary resistance to face long runs with enviable durability and shock absorption.

All this, together with the Smooth Ride System, created specifically to minimize acceleration and deceleration in the tread, and that favors the comfort of the forefoot area. The Japanese brand's commitment is to offer the runner a very versatile, firm and resilient technical running shoe.

As for the outsole, we can distinguish Mizuno's X10 technology , with carbon rubber compound to ensure greater grip and traction on all types of terrain.

Mizuno Wave Sky Waveknit 3, technical specifications

The new shoes from the Japanese company come to the market to revolutionize the Sky range, reducing some weight, and focusing it on that profile of runner, of high weight and looking for models with a certain lightness. With 312 grams of weight, these Mizuno Wave Sky Waveknit 3 manage to reduce by almost 10 grams the weight of its predecessors, the Wave Sky 3, thus favoring the lightness and comfort in running.

As for the outsole, we find a 33mm heel that decreases as it gets closer to the toe cap until it reaches 23mm in the forefoot area. This 10mm drop makes the Wave Sky Waveknit 3 a reactive shoe that, together with the rest of the technologies implemented in this latest update from Mizuno, provides the runner with acomfortable, resilient and elastic stride, perfect for long runs.
