Here to be your eminently trustworthy and inspiring do-it-all workhorse, the Mizuno Wave Rider 28 is innovatively energized. Designed for smooth transitions and propulsive cushioned drive, it’s a healthy dose of encouragement for you to enjoy your daily grind. The midsole cushioning highlights MIZUNO ENERZY and a layer of ENERZY NXT, which is new for this version and is the softest, lightest, most responsive ENERZY foam yet. Meanwhile, the signature MIZUNO WAVE plate under the heel and midfoot helps stabilize and propel this neutral shoe. 

Enveloping your feet, the breathable Jacquard Air Mesh upper incorporates a gusseted tongue, while the outsole showcases the brand’s durable X10 carbon rubber. As for eco-conscious chops, the upper also shines with at least 90% recycled content for the textile, lining, and sockliner, while the midsole is partly sugarcane-based, and the WAVE plate is derived from castor beans. All told, the Mizuno Wave Rider 28 is a flagship for the brand’s core values of passion and performance — an embodiment of their “reach beyond” message to encourage everyone to push their limits and be better versions of themselves.
