Wave Rider 27

Daily Trainer2023-08-25 · JP · ReleaseChecked 2026-10-02

Wave Rider 27 is a daily road trainer for beginner and intermediate runners. It retains the 26's ENERZY and plant-derived nylon Wave platform, but a smaller heel counter refines ankle fit and cuts about 5g at 27cm. A breathable air-mesh upper and seamless gusseted tongue secure the foot, while X10 rubber supports outsole durability through everyday training.
