For runners ready to churn up the track and put down some serious kilometres, the Mizuno Wave Rider 24 will quickly become the go-to tool. Lighter than the 23 and delivering a better fit thanks to the wider toebox and refined internal heel counter. The AirMesh upper secures feet in airy comfort.

The midsole technology has also taken a step forwards with new Enerzy foam sitting beneath the heel, delivering lighter, more responsive impact protection. It combines with the layer of U4iC foam to deliver responsive cushioning and support mile after mile. The Wave Rider 24 isn't afraid to change things up in the outsole which has been engineered to offer full ground contact and greater flexibilty in the forefoot, making it ideal to run in no matter how your foot strikes the pavement.
