[Looking for the latest version? The men's Mizuno Wave Inspire 18 is available now.] The men's Mizuno Wave Inspire 17 gives you stability and cushion for a comfortable ride. Mizuno created reliable stability by using its signature Wave Plate technology. The plastic plate embedded into the midsole helps mitigate the effects of overpronation, keeping the shoe from wearing out prematurely. Surrounding the plate is a cushion of Mizuno’s Enerzy foam. The new foam composition is softer and bouncier than foams used in previous versions of the shoe, which gives the Inspire 17 a cushier landing and smoother transition. A soft and smooth mesh upper creates a comfortable fit that breathes easily when your workout heats up, and a secure internal heel counter locks your foot into place to prevent rubbing or chafing. With a new underfoot feel with the same stability you can count on, the men's Mizuno Wave Inspire 17 meets all your needs.
