Wave Plate Technology delivers smooth feeling stability without increasing weight, adding integrity to the midsole foam and creating a more propulsive transition. 

Greater medial, lateral and torsional support compensate for the thicker and softer midsole to maintain a stable ride.

MIZUNO ENERZY foam used throughout the entire midsole enhances comfort and delivers even more energy return for a more efficient ride.

Jacquard Air Mesh upper provides a soft, breathable and irritation-free fit, while lighter heel counter ensures a smoother fit. 

A single vertical flex groove throughout the forefoot decreases flexibility and increases responsiveness, enhancing the propulsive feel from midstance to toe-off.

The stable neutral midsole construction with Wave Plate technology makes the Wave Rider 27 an ideal shoe for medical referrals and for those  using an orthotic device.

A smoother fitting heel counter holds the foot securely with a less obtrusive feel, while the midfoot has a balanced hold that is slightly more generous than the previous model.

The forefoot feels a bit more relaxed and longer in length than the Wave Rider 26 without the need to change from your normal size.
