TrailReleased 2026EU

Wave Daichi 9 is the non-GTX trail model for wet, uneven, and rugged terrain. Mizuno Enerzy and a two-density Foam Wave balance cushioning with stability. A forefoot Rock Plate shields the foot from rocks and roots, while 4 mm Vibram Megagrip traction lugs provide grip across changing ground. A woven upper, gusseted tongue, toe guard, and hidden lace pocket complete its trail protection and secure fit.
