Premium Smoothness with Propulsion
Now with 17% more MIZUNO ENERZY midsole foam compared to the Wave Rider 25, the Wave Rider 26 dials up the comfort and energy return in this propulsive new update.
A single vertical flex groove throughout the forefoot delivers a snappier toe-off experience, which is complimented by the lightweight Wave Technology in the rear foot to maintain a stable landing and transition.
Now available in two of our signature uppers:
Jacquard Air Mesh, a breathable and soft mesh that keeps your foot comfortable and supported.
And our sleek and modern Smooth Stretch Woven upper, which stretches and adapts to the shape of the foot for an incredibly secure fit.
MIZUNO WAVE
Wave Plate Technology delivers smooth feeling stability without increasing weight, and offers a more propulsive transition. Greater medial, lateral and torsional support compensate for the thicker and softer midsole to maintain a stable ride.
MIZUNO ENERZY
17% more MIZUNO ENERZY foam used throughout the midsole enhances comfort and delivers even more energy return for a more efficient ride.
