Mizuno Wave Volleyball Shoes Have Styles For Specific Player Positions

The Mizuno Wave volleyball shoes include styles Mizuno Wave Lightning, Wave Bolt, Wave Tornado, Wave Voltage, Wave Momentum, Wave Supersonic and Wave Luminous 

I wore Mizuno Wave volleyball shoes when I was on the national team. They were okay because ...they were free.

But at that time the Mizuno shoe waste with alot of leather which for my taste made it a heavier shoe.

As an outside hitter, I liked playing in lighter more running type shoes so that's why I favored Asics volleyball shoes whenever I could wear them.

Speaking of shoes, check out the info on the latest Mizuno volleyball styles...

The Mizuno Wave for Volleyball combines a controlled cushioning for landing and spring effect for jumping."

One of the first lines of Mizuno Wave volleyball shoes the Lightning was created specifically for the outside hitter...also called the wing spiker in European countries. 

Mizuno claims that "When the moment comes......to prepare....to train hard....to work together....to bump....to set....to make a kill.

The Wave Lightning won't let you down.

Designed to assist the key movements of outside hitters around the court, the Wave Lightning RX features Dynamotion technologies to help stabilize and enhance flexion at that pivotal scoring moments.

So for those moments on the court when your team has worked tirelessly throughout the game for that one moment of glory, the Wave Lightning will give you that killing edge.

Created especially with the middle blocker in mind The Wave Momentum, according to Mizuno "provides middle blockers and all-round players with an advantage on the court, thanks to the combination of high stability and comfortable cushioning and fitting."

Crystals, one of the many strong expressions that can be found in nature, are our inspiration for Wave Momentum.

Crystals and minerals are formed over long periods of time through the great power of nature, and are mesmerising with their unique shapes.

As for the Wave Momentum, the crystal theme is particularly evident when looking at the sole, which has a triangular shape both on the medial and lateral side.

This really highlights the cushioning and support provided by the sole, which is one of the key features on the shoe."

I find this new model of Mizuno Volleyball shoes to be quite exciting.

Modelled after the mid top Kobe's Nike that many of my clients wear Mizuno claims the Luminous has the best combination of cushioning, energy transition and stability a volleyball player can choose from when it comes to Mizuno Wave technology.

Mizuno says the Luminous "features a flexible Wave plate designed to maximize energy return for advanced power during jumps, and absorb impact on landing.

Compared to other fast-paced indoor games volleyball is unique, because a player’s focus is on the jumps, not the runs.

This specific style of gameplay requires a specific type of shoe. In a matter of seconds, a player will leap to their highest elevation, then find themselves with their feet back on the court.

Landing from these impressive heights can send shocks to your feet."
