Wave Rider 26

Daily Trainer2022-10-01 · JP · ReleaseChecked 2026-10-02

Wave Rider 26 is a daily road trainer for beginner and intermediate runners. Compared with the 25, its full ENERZY midsole gains 2mm of cushioning. A plant-derived nylon Wave plate supports stable heel-to-toe transitions, while a mesh upper and revised gusseted tongue reduce seams around the foot. X10 rubber provides outsole durability for regular training.
