INTRODUCTION

The Creation 11 is a maximum feature, moderate neutral shoe designed for daily training and high mileage. It is built with a semi-curved shape.

CUSHIONING

Infinity Wave extends from the heel to the midfoot and is composed of an elastic thermal plastic material shaped in a horizontal figure eight pattern. This design features large open cavities within the infinity pattern to allow for maximal vertical deformation during heel strike to absorb impact.
Mizuno Wave is the continuation of the Infinity Wave into the forefoot. Its wave pattern attenuates impact energy.
VS-1 is positioned in the forefoot and is a cushioning material to further provide shock absorption.

MIDSOLE

AP+ is Mizuno's top of the line full length midsole copolymer material that is lighter weight and has better energy return than AP.
Smooth Ride is located at the lateral heel and across the entire forefoot and is a gender specific network of grooves to minimize the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot during transition to create a smooth ride.
Extended Wave Plate is located at the bottom of the midfoot and is an extension of the Infinity Wave. It preserves the torsional rigidity between the heel and forefoot.
Intercool is a full length ventilation system that allows heat and humidity from inside the shoe to exit via ports located in the midsole of the heel.

UPPER

AIRmesh covers the entire upper and provides breathability to keep the foot cool.
Mizuno logo is located at both the medial and lateral sides and functions to help hold the foot in place.
OrthoLite Sockliner is an anti-microbial and moisture wicking insole that promotes a healthy environment for feet.
Dynamotion Fit is Mizuno's design philosophy to create optimal fit with stretch material located in the forefoot and a collar construction that prevents the heel collar from buckling under load.

OUTSOLE

X10 is located in the heel and forefoot for enhanced traction and is composed of durable carbon rubber.
Sensor Point is located in the medial heel and throughout the forefoot. It is a lugged system that connects the Wave plate to the ground to increase stability and traction.
