Mizuno Enerzy NXT Midsole: The midsole incorporates Mizuno’s new nitrogen-infused Enerzy NXT foam, engineered for a lighter, more cushioned, and responsive ride. As the top layer, this advanced foam provides soft landings and energised take-offs for long distances. It's Mizuno’s softest and most efficient foam, absorbing impact and returning energy for reduced fatigue. Mizuno’s Smooth Speed Assist optimises gait, reduces muscle strain, and promotes efficient transitions. The core features Mizuno’s Wave Plate, made from glass-fibre reinforced nylon, offering stability and a lively toe-off without sacrificing cushioning. This plate is more forgiving than carbon and stiffer than TPU, balancing performance for daily runs. X10 Outsole: The X10 outsole uses Mizuno’s durable carbon rubber for reliable traction and long-lasting grip on various road surfaces. Strategically placed in high-impact zones, this tough rubber enhances durability during heel strikes and supports smooth transitions. The outsole features improved grip compared to its predecessor, ensuring confident footing. Flex grooves and controllers in the forefoot promote natural motion for an efficient stride.
