Upper:Dynamotion Fit™ relieves stress on the foot naturally, eliminating distortion in the collar and heel during the gait cycle for the perfect fit. AIRMesh™ provides the utmost in breathability and comfort. Japanese Block Printing inspired details on outer heel.

Midsole: 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. Full length AP+ midsole and removable insole offer increased rebound and a bouncier feeling, extending the cushion durability and maintaining the lightweight performance you've come to know and expect.

22mm heel height, 10mm forefoot height.

Outsole:Soft yet durable blown rubber forefoot outsole design for cushioning and flexibility. TPU landing zone for targeted durability. 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.

Available in width D (Medium).

"The Precision is an icon in Mizuno's running line so it's fitting that sublimated graphics on the upper represent Japanese block prints reminiscent of Pagoda architecture on the men's shoe and the cherry blossom on the women's. The upper features a semi-closed engineered mesh with welded logo and support strapping, DynaMotion Fit (hinged first medial eyelet) for secure lacing, and a touch of synthetic leather at heel and toe. The midsole is perhaps Mizuno's best application of AP+ which, in combination with the Parallel Wave plate, cushions and holds up to both daily training for efficient runners and as a racer or fast-paced training shoe for others. The outersole, unchanged from version 11, is a combination of X-10 in the heel and blown rubber in the forefoot with a rubbery concentric element under the cuboid bone to improve midfoot comfort. The smooth fit, great cushioning, and light weight earned the Wave Precision 12 a tie for honors as the Best Shoe in the Performance category."
