WAVE MUJIN 9

TrailReleased 2023-02-06US

Wave Mujin 9 is a protective trail shoe for long distances and harsh, rocky terrain. Mizuno reduced excess material versus its predecessor. A full-length foam-based Mizuno Wave made from two EVA firmness levels sits between U4icX and Mizuno Enerzy for cushioning and stability. Michelin rubber lugs add grip and durability, while TPU support panels and a half-gusset tongue secure the foot on uneven ground.
