The most immediate change you'll notice is the drop. The Mizuno Wave Rider 29 featured 10 mm, while the Wave Rider 30 drops to 8 mm. This choice opts for a more natural and dynamic feel, more in line with the demands of today's runner. The midsole height is slightly increased (42.5 mm in the heel), which means more material underfoot, but the ratio between the forefoot and heel changes, and this significantly transforms the running sensation.

The midsole is the other real and total breaking point. The Mizuno Wave Rider 29 used a single-layer ENERZY NXT, with a solid and recognizable behavior for fans of the series. As we indicated, the Wave Rider 30 introduces a dual-layer architecture: ENERZY NXT with nitrogen in the upper part and EVA in the lower part. As a result, the behavior of the shoe is perceptibly softer on first contact, but with a more reactive response in the propulsion phase. Not forgetting, of course, the work of that full-length Wave plate, redesigned with more organic and fluid shapes, which integrates concentrically with the foam. It is no longer perceived as a rigid element that divides the foot, but as a hidden spring that stabilizes the generous mass of the compound and provides remarkable energy.
