Technicity is becoming an increasing point of interest in all forms of footwear and streetwear. At the junction between Mizuno's technical and casual universes, the WAVE RIDER ß GTX offers the best of both worlds. They continue the Wave Rider ß story with a more technical chapter by keeping its casual DNA, but adding a more unique and seductive version on top. Still present is the suede touch and the overall rich and high-end feeling but added is a Gore-Tex membrane providing a water-resist outer to protect you from the elements. Gore-Tex branding is present on both sides with the iconic woven label on the outer and a thermos transfer PU film on the medial side. Compared to Mizuno's inline Wave Rider ß, this GTX version uses a more technical mesh, an embossed eyestay and more reflective details on toe cap, tongue and heel all sitting on the most recent WR26 sole unit. Mizuno WaveA unique midsole compound providing high comfort and performance, while being extremely lightweight. Smooth RideAn engineered approach to minimise the rapid acceleration and decelaration of the foot during transition, creating the smoothest ride possible. X10An extremely durable Mizuno carbon rubber that allows for longer wear in high-impact areas and gives more traction at the heel strike. D1GA330919
