With the goal of bringing energy return to new extremes comes the birth of the Wave Rider Neo. The use of a full-length MIZUNO ENERZY midsole combined with an additional layer on the heel known as the wave plate technology ensures better cushioning, and a more propulsive running experience. The seamlessly woven upper expands vertically, keeping the foot in place during extreme propulsion and the bootie tongue construction adds to a snug midfoot fit. All adding up to creating the lightest Wave Rider ever created tipping the scales at a feather-like 260g.
