With the easing of the epidemic and the lifting of the lockdown, the postponed marathon events are gradually returning in the near future. “Hey, where have you been running all this time?”, “Have you reported for a race lately?”, “Time to make an appointment for a group training session!”, like mushrooms after the rain, the group of runners brought all kinds of long-lost greetings.
Regardless of the daily running field, it will always accompany you gradually
As the saying goes, “I haven’t worn it, and I’ve heard it before.” I think everyone is familiar with such a pair of “old friends”. Since 1997, the MIZUNO WAVE RIDER series will soon enter its 26th year. The classic shoes that have been popular for more than a quarter of a century have never been dominated by grandiose designs, They have captured the hearts of runners with the most realistic comfort, and are called “National Running Shoes”.
Based on 25 years of technology, WAVE RIDER officially introduced the 26th generation of the new work, focusing on “smooth development and smooth progress”. WAVE RIDER 26 is positioned as a shoe that can finish the marathon in around 4.5 hours. What is new about this generation?
The most elastic midsole technology and thick pound blessing, the familiar RIDER is the most suitable
The most noticeable thing about MIZUNO WAVE RIDER 26 is the incremental midsole volume which is visible to the naked eye. Continuing to set the previous work, WAVE RIDER 26 still uses ENERZY material for the upper and lower layers of the palm Although the difference between the palm and the heel is maintained at 12mm, the height of the sole increases 2mm, which is visually thicker than the previous generation Much thicker than before, the thick foot feeling of the “thick-soled running shoes” gives people a lot of confidence in their cushioning performance before running. The point is to continue the people-friendly features of “national running shoes”, so beginners don’t have to worry about not being able to control them.
The combination of gray mesh and white uppers and silver-gray lines, together with a wave-like shape of the gradual appearance of the midsole, and soles with blue and red color matching rubber particles, under the condition that the shoe shape and position LOGO without changing much, the details have been designed Make the WAVE RIDER 26 more compact and neat Compared with the slightly simple and bulky appearance in the past, it has a simpler and faster sense.
In addition to the above standard air permeability, the same as the previous settings, for runners with wider feet, WAVE RIDER 26 also has a wide last version to choose from. As far as the wearing experience is concerned, the body feel is basically the same as the previous generation in terms of weight. The combination of the one-piece tongue without sewing and the fixed plastic on the heel better coverage and support than the previous one When cornering or on uneven roads, the tight fit of the feet and the running shoes allow people to take a step more carefree.
As for the signature X10 outsole, which is often laughed at by runners as “wearing not bad as doing charity”, it is not absent in this work. The rubber design that connects the front of the callout not only improves the driving effect, but also has excellent grip and wear resistance. It can also stabilize the footprint on wet and slippery roads. It is more volume resistant. high running and long distance training. ‘Still.
Having said that much, I think that “running feeling” is still the topic that everyone is most concerned about. Whether you are a new runner, or familiar with easy running, long-distance stable output, or even a runner with strong cushioning and stability needs, WAVE RIDER 26 will definitely be a very versatile good companion for you.
To sum up WAVE RIDER 26 in one word, this is the word “stable”. The WAVE PLATE between the upper and lower ENERZY materials of the midsole has the effect of “squeezing and rebounding” immediately when the feet land, fully showing the softness and cushioning performance of the most elastic midsole technology. Although the pattern of the outsole has been changed from a horizontal cut to an integrated type, which means that the angle of movement of the forefoot is somewhat restrained, the overall combination with the curved groove design of the outsole SMOOTH RIDE of the forefoot still creates a smooth and smooth. stable feeling in every step.
