The Mizuno Wave Rider 29 is a neutral all-rounder for daily training. This versatile running shoe is ideal for anyone who prefers medium cushioning – from beginners to experienced marathon runners.
Whether you're on the road or on paved park, forest, or field paths, the 29th edition of the Wave Rider offers a successful blend of comfort, support, and durability. Soft and with high energy return, the Wave Rider 29 enables smooth running comfort from the first step to the last.
The Key Features of the Wave Rider 29
The nitrogen-infused Mizuno ENERZY NXT cushioning foam in the Wave Rider 29 provides a soft, springy running feel. The material absorbs impact forces and returns the energy in the form of powerful propulsion. The use of nitrogen instead of normal air makes the all-rounder softer and lighter.
The nature-inspired Mizuno Wave technology consists of two EVA foams with different densities and cushioning capacities. These partially cushion the landing with each step and, in combination with the Wave Plate made of hard plastic die repulsionmovement. In this way, the technology provides cushioning and stability.
The breathable upper made of Jacquard Air Mesh hugs the foot and gives it a comfortable, secure hold. In addition, the Wave Rider 29 has a removable insole, which further increases the wearing comfort.
The Mizuno Wave Rider 29 has an X10 carbon rubber outsole, which is extremely durable and accordingly long-lasting. Strategically placed PU prints in the sole profile offer additional grip and increase traction – especially on wet surfaces.
What's New with the Wave Rider 29?
For the latest version of the Wave Rider, Mizuno uses the ENERZY NXT cushioning foam in the midsole. Infused with nitrogen, the foam is lighter and more responsive, supporting a smoother and more relaxed run. Thanks to its high energy return, the Wave Rider 29 is also suitable for a faster pace. In the forefoot area, the midsole is 2 mm higher than its predecessor, resulting in a drop of 10 mm. This further increases cushioning and energy return, providing even more comfort in forward motion.
For the Wave Rider 29, Mizuno has adapted the Wave Plate to the new cushioning, so that it better supports the rolling motion and provides additional propulsion. At the same time, it offers stability and good cushioning. The breathable upper has also been revised for the Mizuno Wave Rider 29, so that it fits even more comfortably to the foot and gives it a secure and comfortable hold. The raised heel cap makes it easier to get in and encloses the rearfoot area securely, while the toes have enough space at the front to move naturally.
The outsole of the new Wave Rider consists of a mixed profile, with which you can run just as loosely and carefree on asphalt as on gravel, pebbles or paved park, forest and field paths.
