Mizuno Wave Creation 15

The Mizuno Wave Creation 15 is the latest in Mizuno Wave line of shoes. The Mizuno Wave Creation 15 is a cushion running shoe constructed using the Wave Technology and all the other high-end shoe technologies to come out with a pair of shoe that has all the features delivering the perfect blend of support that is lightweight and cushioning that fits the feet. With its new style and technology of foam, this shoe offers the most reliable and stable shoe that you can use for running and long distance races.

Neutral Arch support

The Wave Creation is designed as a neutral running shoe and it offers the support that a neutral runner would need. More than just the cushioning and the comfort, its structure will match the type of foot of the runners who have neutral arches. And because of the Wave Technology, it helps the heel strikers to maximize the responsiveness of the shoes.

Neutral Pronation Control

The structure of the Creation is designed for runners who are neutral runners and those who have under pronation control may also take advantage of its design. The rigidity, that the Wave plate offers, is perfect for them as they may control the pronation during the run. Those who have low arches or runners who over pronate may not benefit much from this shoe.

Terrain

This shoe is ideal for any of your track, road, and gravel terrains, but will not be ideal to use in rocky and stony trails. The outer sole tends to pick the stones from trails, which might hurt the foot along the run.

Use

For normal trainings and different running routines, the Creation is the type of shoe that you will enjoy wearing for most of your running activities. The comfort and the cushioning will not cause any pain as long as the shoe is in good condition.

Durability

Built to last for a long time because of the quality materials, Mizuno always employs the latest shoe technology not just to provide quality performance to runners and athletes, but also to keep the shoe highly durable for trainings and long distance running.

Outer Sole

The outer sole of the Wave Creation has the X10 carbon rubber material. This X10 is a strong material specifically designed to resist abrasion and to keep the shoe exceptionally durable. Aside from that, the X10 is also intended for higher traction, which is one of the things that every runner needs.

Mid-sole

The mid-sole of the Wave Creation are constructed using the U4ic material, which is lightweight and perfect for shock absorption. Mizuno switches to the U4ic mid-sole material from the standard AP+ materials, which explains why the shoe is lightweight, yet responsive and comfortable. This material also adds power to the shoe for a resilient stride. With the Smooth Ride engineering, the runner is also capable of controlling the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot, creating the smoothest ride. And because this technology provides the specific fit for men and women. The Mizuno Wave is also extended to the mid-sole through the Extended Wave plate.

 This is designed to enhance and increase the torsional rigidity of the shoe from the heel to the toe. It also has the Intercool ventilation system that inhibits the build up of humidity and sweating during the run. The mid-sole are also enhanced with the Gender Engineering which offers a wider base in men’s shoes and a flexible mid-sole in women’s shoes.

Upper

For the upper of the Wave Creation, Mizuno used the AIRmesh material to cover the entire upper. The breathability of this material enables the foot to cool down even when running. The insole of the shoes has the OrthoLite Sock liner that wicks away the moisture from the skin. It also has the Dynamotion Fit, which is a stretch material that offers optimal fit. 

The cushioning running shoes are typical for runners who need flexibility and support. Mizuno has a long list of Wave Collections for neutral, cushioning running shoes. One of the most popular Wave shoes is the Mizuno Wave Rider, which is also cushioned, lightweight, comfortable, and fast. This shoe is very much similar to the Wave Creation, mostly in technical details and features.

The Mizuno Wave Creation is a cushioning type of running shoe, and Mizuno designed it technically not just to have a new addition to the Wave Collection, but most especially to have an evolution of the most cushioned running shoe. With all the redesigned features of the shoe, you will notice that such enhancements and upgrades are the best decision that Mizuno ever made.

The suggested retail price for the Wave Creation is $160. The price seems a bit expensive for a running shoe, but with all the features and designs this shoe has, plus all the benefits it provides the neutral runners, this price is a worthwhile amount.
