   Hyperwarp Elite 2

   Mizuno’s updated marathon super shoe borrows the Pure 2’s foam and longer carbon plate, with a firmer lower layer for late-race stability. Roughly 10 g lighter than the first version.

   What's new: Takes the Pure 2’s Enerzy XP+ top foam and extended 3D carbon plate, adds a denser Enerzy XP base for late-race stability, and trims about 10 g.

   Hyperwarp Pure 2

   The second Hyperwarp Pure adds about 4 mm of extra foam and a longer 3D carbon plate while getting slightly lighter. Mizuno pitches it as a more approachable version of its lightest racer.

   What's new: Stack rises from 34/30.5 mm to 38/35 mm with Enerzy XP+ foam on both sides of a carbon plate extended 8 mm toward the toe, yet weight drops slightly to about 135 g.

   Hyperwarp Racer

   A more forgiving carbon racer aimed at three- to four-hour marathoners, replacing the Hyperwarp Pro. It uses a deliberately softer-flexing full-length carbon plate.

   What's new: Replaces the Hyperwarp Pro’s carbon-infused nylon plate with a full-length, less rigid carbon plate, uses Enerzy XP+ around an Enerzy NXT+ core, and drops to a 3 mm offset.
