Running Warehouse : Mizuno Sneak Peak

Flotrack and Runningwarehouse.com have paired up to bring you an exclusive sneak peek at all of the fall lines for 2011. This week we bring you Mizuno's fall line of fantastic new training and racing shoes!
Mizuno Wave Universe 4
Since lighter weight equals faster running, the Wave Universe 4 might be considered an unfair advantage at a super light 3.8 oz. The Wave Universe 4 features a 5mm heel to toe differential, a new outsole and a new upper design that features welded overlays for lightweight comfort and support. If your are a serious road racer or serious about minimal footwear then you must ask yourself if you are serious enough to wear the new high performance.

The Wave Alchemy 11 is better than ever for the runner who's in need of a shoe designed for the moderate to severe overpronation, but who prefer to train in a relatively lightweight and responsive package. For an improved fit, Mizuno uses lateral overlays and a lateral lace tab to help keep the foot locked in place. As always, the Alchemy delivers the trademark Mizuno smooth ride by incorporating the same midsole and outsole as the previous version which received high marks for offering a very high level of support while maintaining a smooth ride.
