Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6 review
The Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6 is specifically designed for the moderate overpronator who is looking for cushioning, flexibility, and durability in a running shoe that provides support combined with a bit of motion control.
The Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6 falls between the stability and motion control running shoe categories. It is designed for runners who exhibit moderate overpronation.
The Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6 like many Mizuno running shoes has an AIRmesh upper that allows your foot to breathe and stay cool.
And Dynamotion Fit technology in the heel collar helps the heel fit superbly to your foot and relieves stress on those long runs.
Strategically placed overlays on the Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6 hold your foot securely on the platform.
The Double Fan Wave plate in the midsole of the Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6 runs all the way from the heel to underneath the forefoot and provides ultimate underfoot protection, cushioning, and stability. It is good for the moderately overpronating foot and provides optimum shock absorption.
There is a VS-1 shock absorbing cushioning compound in the forefoot and heel of the Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6. And the AP+ technology in the midsole gives a "bouncier" feeling, which extends the cushion durability, while maintaining the light weight performance of the running shoe.
The Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6 has an X10 rubber outsole for high traction and durability. The SensorPoint suspension system runs directly through the shoe and connects the wave plate to the ground for enhanced stability and traction. The Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6 provides flexibility in the forefoot and has 5 decouplings in the heel, which are gender specific.
The Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6 is a running shoe that weighs approximately 10.5 oz (298 grams). While it is not the lightest motion control running shoe, it can still be considered lightweight when you compare motion control running shoes by weight.
The suggested retail price of the Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6 is approximately US $139.99, which makes it one of the more expensive athletic shoes when you compare motion control running shoes by price.
