Get your kicks: 2010 Mizuno Wave Musha 2

Wave Musha 2, the support racing flat for Mizuno
The midsole is untouched, it’s still very responsive and lightweight. The outsole benefits in terms of grip by offering the same blown/solid rubber outsole as the original Musha, but with a slightly new tread design. The upper now features a few less overlays to increase comfort and save weight, while the color combination is quite a bit different. The previous version featured a wild bright green upper with orange flames that looked pretty cool and fast. The updated version has a navy upper and yellow midsole treatment that, like the Elixir update, makes the overall shoe appear clunkier. Not quite the lightweight look of the original. Bummer because the Musha 2 is light at 7.8 oz. Probably will surprise people who haven’t tried on the shoe previously how light and responsive the shoe actually is.
