For 30 years, Mizuno’s Wave Rider has been a trusted companion for runners around the world. With the release of the Wave Rider 30, Mizuno celebrates that legacy with one of the most significant updates in the shoe’s history.
The Mizuno Wave Rider 30 officially releases on July 1, bringing its most refined ride yet to runners this season.
A Legacy of Reliable Daily Miles
First introduced in 1997, the Wave Rider earned its reputation as a reliable daily trainer that delivers a smooth, stable ride mile after mile. The Wave Rider 30 builds upon that foundation with updates designed to enhance both comfort and performance.
Key Updates: Wave Plate & Cushioning
The latest version features the iconic Wave Plate, now redesigned as the first-ever full-length plate in the shoe’s history. This innovation helps create smoother transitions from heel strike to toe-off, resulting in a more stable and effortless ride.
Underfoot, a dual-layer, nitrogen-infused MIZUNO ENERZY NXT midsole provides a softer, more energetic feel while maintaining the responsiveness runners have come to expect from the Wave Rider. Whether you're heading out for an easy recovery run, logging daily training miles, or tackling a long weekend run, the updated cushioning delivers comfort without sacrificing performance.
Built for Everyday Versatility
With an 8mm heel-to-toe drop and a wider platform for added stability, the Wave Rider 30 is designed to support a wide range of runners. It offers the versatility needed for everyday training while delivering the smooth ride that has made the franchise a favorite for three decades.
