AP™, Midsole : Acceleration Polymer : Lightweight high rebound midsole material to give greater momentum at take-off.

Extended Wave® : Mizuno Wave An elastic thermal plastic material shaped in a Composite double fan wave pattern, design for vertical deformation during heel strike to absorb impact while reducing pronation : Wave Plate : Cushioning and Stability. The only technology that combines two distinctly different elements that are both inherently necessary in great athletic shoes.

Reinforced Airmesh™ : A breathable yet water resistant upper to keep the foot cool and dry.

Dynamotion Fit™ : Design technology that relieves the stress the foot naturally places on footwear, eliminating distortion for the perfect fit.

SmoothRide™ : Designed to minimize the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot through the phases of the running gait cycle. This reduces shock vibration and increases flexibility.

Standard Sockliner : Made from industrial standard form,EVA. A breathable insole with antimicrobial properties which provide superior cushioning and ride.

Wet Traction™ : Bi-Directional out-sole rubber compound breaks through water, improving grip in all conditions.

X-10™ : Provides the most durable carbon rubber from Mizuno that allows for longer wear in high impact areas and provides more traction at heel strike.
