Wave Rider 29

Daily Trainer2025-08-22 · JP · Retail launchChecked 2026-10-03

Wave Rider 29 is a daily road trainer for easy runs and marathon preparation. Compared with the 28, both midsole layers use ENERZY NXT, the forefoot gains cushioning and the drop is reduced. Revised Wave plate and outsole construction save about 15g at 27cm while retaining stable transitions. Jacquard mesh, a stretchy gusseted tongue and X10 rubber complete the everyday platform.
