Think nineteen years is too much for shoe? Think at this point only the colours are changing? I did, then I didn't. So now think nothing happens if you must, admittedly it's sometimes true. Utilizing the U4ic midsole alongside the Wave technology has given the Rider series the most cushioned, comfortable, durable fit ever seen in the 19 year continuation. Traits that inevitably mean the shoe lasts longer in the moment and into future moments.

Midsole
Mizuno Wave consists of an elastic, thermal plastic wave running from the heel to the midfoot, creating an incredibly springy and well-cushioned ride.
Smooth Ride is a gender specific network of grooves that minimizes the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot to create a smooth heel to toe ride.
U4ic is a lightweight midsole that provides optimal shock absorption, durability and a resilient ride.
Extended Wave Plate in the midfoot is an extension of the Mizuno Wave for increased torsional rigidity between the heel and forefoot.
Double Fan Wave provides a stable ride to reduce pronation without increased stiffness.
Mizuno Intercool ventilation system in the midsole inhibits humidity buildup to keep feet cool and dry.
Gender Engineering utilizes gender-specific attributes such as a wider base in men's shoes and additional flex grooves in women's shoes.
Upper
AIRmesh covers the entire upper and provides breathability to keep the foot cool.
Stitched Overlays on the medial and lateral sides help secure the foot in place.
OrthoLite Sockliner is anti-microbial and moisture wicking for a healthy foot environment.
Dynamotion Fit creates optimal fit with stretch material in the forefoot and a collar construction that prevents the heel collar from buckling under load.
U4icX Strobel Lasting board for a comfortable and cushioned underfoot feel.
Outsole
X10 located in the heel is made of durable carbon rubber for enhanced traction.
Blown rubber in the forefoot increases cushioning and responsiveness.
Flex Controllers placed in high flex areas on the outsole act as miniature wave plates for increased flexibility and reduced weight.
