Mizuno Wave Claw 2 Indoor Court Shoes
If you're aiming for fantastic footwork enabling instant movement and acceleration, look no further than this shoe loaded with special features. It offers MIZUNO ENERZY at the ball of the foot for excellent cushioning and energy return, a new heel structure for an enhanced fit and a non-stretch material outside the forefoot part of the upper to prevent stretching and alleviate stress on the foot.
Lightweight Mesh Upper
Mesh uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Lightweight and highly breathable for all-temperature comfort, the mesh acts as a lightweight second skin, providing a supportive and comfortable fit. Its perforated construction allows air to fully permeate the entire upper, letting your feet breathe when the temperature starts to rise or your training session heats up. The lightweight construction keeps you quick and nimble on your feet for fast reactions and dynamic movement without compromising stability and support. The Wave Claw 2 now includes a non-stretch material positioned outside the forefoot area, where major stress occurs when the foot hits the ground. By preventing the material from stretching the shoes are able to provide a strong, hold on the foot as well as the support needed. The shoes feature an improved heel structure, thanks to a change in the insertion method of the foam, the foot sits comfortably in the heel as well as providing a better fit within the shoe. Completing the upper is a lace closure system that locks down the midfoot to reduce in-shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.
Mizuno Wave Midsole
The Mizuno Claw 2 features multiple midsole compounds providing you with a soft and energetic feel helping you to power through training or matches. The first is Mizuno's wave technology which is embedded into the midsole to provide flexibility in one direction and support in the other. The midsole technology works to absorb the shock of heel striking without compromising comfort or cushioning. Once the shock has been absorbed the energy from that is harnessed and is then transferred to the forefoot to then push you off and guide you onto the next movement. The wave prevents partial deformation and provides dynamic support to stabilise and guide the foot forward. Furthermore, another exceedingly lightweight material used in the midsole is known as PoWnCe which offers excellent comfort and resilience properties. This allows for a more enhanced run through its ability to absorb shock and provide smooth traction due to its quick rebound properties. This is finished by layers of Enerzy and U4icX both are very soft underfoot offering comfort from the first step to the last. Not only do they improve comfort but they both provide high energy return, helping you to play or train for longer and reduce fatigue, so you are ready to take on your next challenge.
XG Rubber Outsole
A high-performance XG Rubber is used on the outsole to enhance traction where the sole needs it the most. The rubber is able to form a solid connection between shoe and court, which means that you will always be in a firm and strong position when playing a shot. Best for indoor court sports these shoes provide the base for you to power off onto your next step and allow you to turn and swivel sharply which is a key part of the majority of competitive sports. Specifically engineered diagonal grooves known as D-Flex grooves have been built into the shoe to allow the player to turn at maximum speed and power by efficiently transferring natural body movement and change in direction.
