Wave Rider 15

The Mizuno Wave Rider 15 combines the best qualities of every Wave Rider that came before it with a harmonious balance of lightweight feel and stability to give you a comfortable running experience. Utilizing Mizuno's Wave Technology and SmoothRide Engineering, this shoe features a lower, more open collar, a redesigned heel, and a cushioning midsole for better support and performance.

• Wave Technology provides lightweight cushioning and stability
• Shock-absorbent heel provides softer landings
• Breathable mesh upper reduces moisture buildup
• Dynamotion Fit eliminates stress points between feet and shoes
• Flex grooves and controllers support smooth rocking motion

Using Mizuno Wave Technology, the Wave Rider 15 directs impact forces away from your foot to provide cushioning and stability with every step. Its high-performance rubber sole offers greater bounce and increased rebound, extending the life of the shoes.

SmoothRide Engineering reduces rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot during transitions. Flex grooves in the heel promote natural movement from the back of your foot to the front, initiating a smooth rocking motion throughout your stride. And flex controllers in the forefoot smoothly continue the roll forward to give your foot a more solid stance at toe-off.

Designed to reduce the stress that feet exert on shoes while running, Mizuno's Dynamotion Fit allows fluidity at every point in your stride--from heel strike through toe-off--so the upper gently follows the natural motion of your feet.

Shock-Absorbent Heel for Softer Landings

The Wave Rider 15 features a redesigned heel with shock-absorbent cushioning that results in gentler contact with the ground during heel strikes. This means softer landings--even during high-impact runs.

Breathable Mesh Upper Keeps Feet Cool

This shoe's breathable mesh upper provides extra ventilation to reduce heat and moisture inside your shoes, while its synthetic leather overlay delivers targeted support.

Gender-Specific Engineering for Customized Fit

Research has shown there are fundamental differences between the way men and women run. With this in mind, Mizuno specifically designed men's and women's Wave Rider 15s to maximize performance for each running style.
