Mizuno had one serious task on their hands; improving a running shoe that already seems to be perfect. The new model features the same Full-length Infinity Wave Plate as the previous one, a major reason why the first Prophecy was such a huge success. It also has the same AP+ midsole and SmoothRide technology to ensure that the cushioning and support are on par. The major difference in the two models comes in the weight. The Mizuno Wave Prophecy weighed in at 12.9 ounces, where the Mizuno Wave Prophecy 2 comes in at 12.3 ounces. Mizuno achieved the weight loss by using recycled PET synthetic for the mesh, which also makes the newer model more breathable as well as ecofriendly.

Mizuno definitely got it right on this model. The Mizuno Wave Prophecy was already perfect in terms of cushioning, stability, and support, and they didn’t take any of that away the second time around. They did however make the Mizuno Wave Prophecy 2 lighter with increased breathability, ensuring that this model will be the highest performance runner to date.

Wave technology actually reduces and redirects impact forces away from your foot. Much like your car’s suspension, it provides cushioning and keeps your foot centered in your shoe throughout your stride. Designers have created several wave models fit for the unique stride of each type of runner, so the technology is suited for a wide spectrum of athletes.

With a proven track record, the 18th iteration of the Asics GEL-Kayanois lighter and better than ever. With Biomorphic Fit mesh stretched across the upper, superior comfort is this shoe’s forte.

Looking for support? The Brooks PureCadence implores you to look no further. A wide Nav Band is locked down to the medial strike pod, delivering superior arch support. While providing needed stability to runners that require it, the PureCadence follows through by emulating what a natural foot strike feels like.

For those of you that need a shoe that responds, the Mizuno Wave Prophecy is that shoe. Its full-length Infinity Wave is fine-tuned to work with you on your run, but the major component is the AP midsole that’s ultra-lightweight and responsive. Calling for a shoe that gives back? The Wave Prophecy answers that call.

The ASICS GEL-Nimbus 14 has a sleek profile, with a plush interior for maximum comfort and a stable ride. With the astronomical amount of strides taken to conquer a marathon, it’s essential that the GEL-Nimbus stays lean by reducing weight. And for you under-pronators, this model by Asics is specially designed to compensate for and correct it, for optimum stride efficiency.

As the 12th iteration in this line, the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 12 delivers what you have come to expect from Brooks. From its fit and feel, to the inclusion of mesh in the upper, it carries the torch passed down from previous models. When the distance starts to wear on and your stride and mechanics deteriorate, the built-in crash pad kicks in, reducing shock and conserving energy. The Adrenaline GTS 12, on the other hand, is more ideal for the over-pronator, providing support and alleviating excess shock.

The previous two favorites where both engineered while catering to a specific type of runner. With the Mizuno Wave Prophecy, it’s all about delivering a  truly complete shoe with groundbreaking technology to back up that claim. That tech-spec list includes Dynamotion for optimal fit, reducing lateral stress on the foot, and Infinity Wave to work in harmony with your body. Throw in an AP midsole for lightweight, yet responsive cushioning and you’re ready to go the distance.
