INTRODUCTION

The Elixir 8 is a moderate feature, minimum support shoe that is designed for speedwork, racing and daily training. It is built with a semi-curved shape.

CUSHIONING

• Mizuno Wave consists of an elastic, thermal plastic wave running from the heel to the midfoot, creating an incredibly springy and well-cushioned ride. 

• AP+ is Mizuno's top of the line full-length copolymer midsole for a lighter, more resilient ride.
• Smooth Ride is a gender specific network of grooves that minimizes the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot to create a smooth heel to toe ride.

UPPER

• AIRmesh covers the entire upper and provides breathability to keep the foot cool.
• Standard Sockliner provides underfoot comfort.
• Dynamotion Fit creates optimal fit with stretch material in the forefoot and a collar construction that prevents the heel collar from buckling under load.
• Strobel Last with the upper stitched to full length fabric for a comfortable underfoot feel.

OUTSOLE

• X10 located in the heel and forefoot is made of durable carbon rubber for enhanced traction.
• G3 Sole is a lightweight rubber dot pattern in the forefoot for increased grip and flexibility.
• Flex Controllers placed in high flex areas on the outsole act as miniature wave plates for increased flexibility and reduced weight.
