Shoe Review: Mizuno Wave Neo Ultra and Wave Neo Wind
Mizuno combines plushness and performance in their new Wave Neo line, featuring the Wave Neo Ultra and the Wave Neo Wind.
Mizuno Wave NEO Wind
Features
Propel yourself through your run wearing the eco-friendly Mizuno Wave NEO Wind.
Inspired by nature, the Mizuno Wave NEO Wind pushes the boundaries of sustainability in a shoe—including that the undyed knit upper eliminates the use of water in the dyeing process, while the shoe’s sockliner and Enerzy foam use an algae-based BLOOM material that reduces CO2 emissions.
The Wave NEO Wind will propel you forward thanks to Mizuno’s Enerzy Lite foam. The bio-based foam that uses castor bean oil is 22% lighter and 35% bouncier than traditional U4ic foam.
You will feel like there are springs attached to your feet thanks to Mizuno’s Pebax Wave Plate that uses a 3D honeycomb pattern for a snappy toe off and raised medial and lateral side walls for support. The G3 outsole is made with lightweight, high traction rubber for extra grip and confidence throughout your run.
Push your limits and feel good about your environmental impact in Mizuno Wave NEO Wind.
