Upper: Mizuno Airmesh upper enhances breathability. Synthetic overlays add support without adding too much weight. Textile lining for a comfortable internal environment.

Midsole: Mizuno Wave™ technology combines cushioning and stability—two different elements that are both inherently necessary in great running shoes. SmoothRide engineering approach minimizes the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot during transition, creating the smoothest ride possible. AP+ enhances the inherent properties of the AP midsole by offering increased rebound and a bouncier feeling that extends the cushioning durability, while maintaining the lightweight performance.

Outsole: X 10™ durable carbon rubber is placed in high impact areas and supplements traction at heel strike.

Available in width B (Medium).

"The Nexus is focues on exactly what ti's supposed to be: a lightweight, stable everyday training shoe. A roomy but firm forefoot and a fairly steep ramp angle - the shoe drops 14.88mm from heel to toe - give the Nexus a "fast" feeling that wear-testers liked. "The shoe felt quite snug," says Mike Mooney, 55, of Jackson, New Jersey, who has been running for 42 years. "Along with roominess in the toebox, it made for a perfect match. It is my shoe of choice for long runs of eight to 12 miles." To slow the roll of an overpronating foot, the Nexus includes stability features like a beveled crash pad in the heel and firm posting that runs through the arch on the medial side. A shorter heel tab minimizes rubbing on the Achilles. Another nice feature: Its price tag puts it within the budget of more runners."
