Mizuno

Wave Sky 9

Mizuno’s premium cushioned daily trainer: tall, durable and stable, with a grippy outsole. It takes some breaking in and feels heavy and firm for anything faster than easy running.

What's new: Billed as the lightest and most cushioned Sky yet, with a reworked Enerzy NXT-over-Enerzy midsole; the tapered fit stays much like earlier versions.
