Wave Rider 30

Daily Trainer2026-08-21 · JP · Retail launchChecked 2026-10-16

Wave Rider 30 is a daily road trainer for regular jogs. Compared with the 29, its thicker, lower-drop sole combines supercritically foamed MIZUNO ENERZY NXT above a conventional NXT layer and the series' first full-length Wave plate. A wider midfoot-to-heel outsole contact area supports stability, while the revised rubber layout preserves the previous model's stated weight.
