Comparing the Wave Ultima family of Mizuno is not as mediatic as the Wave Rider saga. However, the Wave Ultima has a loyal legion of followers, and its excellent value for money has always been one of its biggest attractions among neutral runners, who are used to train and compete on asphalt. And this legion will continue to grow with the arrival of the latest version: the Mizuno Wave Ultima 7.
The Japanese brand's firm commitment to this model has resulted in a total redesign, not only in the aesthetic section but also in Mizuno's most cutting-edge technology. Thus, the Mizuno Wave Ultima 7 appears as one of the high-end running shoe options, which guarantee cushioning, lightness, comfort and reactivity.
The main new feature of the Wave Ultima 7 is located in the heel area. This is where the exclusive U4icx technology has been incorporated, increasing cushioning and offering greater energy return.
In addition, the rear part of this model also features a combination of materials such as Wave and U4IC, among others, which contribute to a softer, lighter and more stable stride.
The Wave Ultima 7 is also lighter than its predecessorWave Ultima 6), with a significant weight reduction from 315 grams to 290 grams (European size 42.5 for men). The women's version weighs 240 grams (European size 39).
Regarding its upper, the Wave Ultima 7 takes the base of models like the Wave Inspire 11, since it incorporates the same breathable and lightweight AIRmesh. All this is reinforced with Dynamotion Fit internal support straps, improving the fit of the foot.
