On the roads of the world for a decade, Mizuno introduces the improved Wave Alchemy 10 for fall 2010.
With the demise of the Wave Renegade the Wave Alchemy 10 now serves a s Mizuno’s lone entry in the
motion control category. Updates include a plusher midsole and a new upper. Mizuno’s male and female
specific Gender Engineering is carried over from the Wave Alchemy 9.
As with all [link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Wave Alchemy 10 includes Mizuno’s exclusive wave technology. The
Mizuno wave is a dual density plastic plate designed to accommodate different foot strike types. In this
particular model the wave plate is designed to limit over pronation which is the excessive inward
rolling motion of the foot as it contacts the ground. On the medial (internal) side of the shoe the Wave
Alchemy 10 employs a robustly designed dual fan shaped wave that starts at the heel and extends through
the arch of the shoe. The lateral aspect of the wave plate features an open shaped design to allow the
foot more freedom to move laterally. Also present in the heel area is Mizuno’s VS-1 shock absorbing
compound. The most dramatic underfoot difference in the new Wave Alchemy 10 is it’s increased forefoot
cushioning.
The Wave Alchemy 10 upper gets a total redesign including Mizuno’s updated Dynamotion fit. Previous
editions of the Alchemy utilized a flexible strip of material located in the lateral upper aimed at
reducing gapping of the upper at foot strike. For the Wave Alchemy 10 Mizuno introduced a semi-separate
collar tab to perform the same function while allowing for an improved fit. Also present are new flex
eyelets to better conform to the shape of the foot while in motion. Mizuno also includes an Ortholite
sock liner for extra cushion.
