The Sky Waveknit 3 features some of Mizuno's most exciting innovations in years.Unlike almost every other Mizuno shoe, the Sky Waveknit 3 does not contain a plastic plate within the midsole. Instead, a wave-like design is created by the geometries of two layers of foam that sandwich their new XPOP midsole foam. XPOP gives this shoe a soft, springy, and resilient ride perfect for putting in plenty of miles.To complement its plush ride, the Sky Waveknit 3 was also equipped with a super comfortable and aesthetically pleasing knit upper.
