Now with Gender Engineering, the Mizuno Wave Nirvana 7 addresses the fundamental differences between the way men and women run. Through extensive research, Mizuno has learned that creating shoes that fit closer to these specific running styles, performance is maximized.

Since men are generally heavier than women, their running shoes must be able to absorb greater impact forces. Running shoe soles with an inadequate width can lead to a feeling of insecurity. Therefore, Mizuno has introduced a wider, slightly flared sole, increasing the landing area in the men's running shoes. The result is a more stable and secure run.

Upper: AIRMesh™ with synthetic overlays for support provides the utmost in breathability and comfort of the upper. Dynamotion Fit™ relieves the stress the foot naturally places on footwear and eliminates distortion in the collar and heel during the gait cycle that results in heel slippage and a poor fit.

Midsole: Full length AP+ midsole. Enhancing the inherent properties of AP Midsole, AP+ improves the quality of the running experience by offering increased rebound and a "bouncier" feeling, which extends the cushion durability, while maintaining the light weight performance you expect. The Mizuno Wave® is a full-length composite Double Fan Wave providing the perfect blend of cushioning and support in a package that transitions like no other. SmoothRide is an engineering approach to minimize the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot through the phases of the running gait cycle by reducing shock vibration and increasing flexibility, creating the smoothest ride possible. Forefoot flex controllers minimize energy loss by optimizing flexibility. VS-1 shock absorbing cushioning compound in the heel and forefoot. InterCool is a full length midsole ventilation system reducing heat and humidity that builds up inside the shoe. A removable Ortholite® sockliner provides a responsive first feel.

25mm heel height, 13mm forefoot height.

Outsole: X-10™ featured in this shoe is the most durable carbon rubber that allows for longer wear in high impact areas and supplements traction at heel strike. SmoothRide Engineered, a solid rubber forefoot outsole design for durability and flexibility. A redesigned heel contact area provides a softer touch on initial contact. A combination of solid and blown rubber in the forefoot provides cushioning, durability and optimal flexibility.

Available in width D (Medium).
