Mizuno Wave Lightning 5 Women's Volleyball Shoes

The Women’s Mizuno Wave Lightning 5 is a fresh update to the Wave Lightning line of volleyball shoes from Mizuno. New for 2009, little has changed with this phenomenal shoe as far as performance. The Wave Lightning is still at the top of its class. New, updated colors bring a fresh look to this shoe for 2009.

Its innovative design helps give players the agility and stability required for maximum performance. Many volleyball players love the Wave Lightning 5 due to its cushion technology known as the Mizuno Wave. The Mizuno Wave disperses impact forces uniformly over the length and width of the midsole, providing unrivaled cushioning. The Wave is a biomechanical engineered midsole technology that resists overpronation, thus relieving stress on ankle and knee joints. Its lightweight AP Midsole provides greater momentum at take-off.

Its new VS-1 technology gives an added edge in comfort for volleyball players. The VS-1 absorbs shock and enhances cushioning properties by resisting compression-set, which will extend the cushioning life of the shoe. The VS-1 is made primarily (70%) of vibration absorption material and the remainder (30%) being E.V.A. and Isoprene rubber. The VS-1 is very lightweight and returns to its original shape after impact.

The outsole of the Women’s Wave Lightning 5 is loaded with technical advancements to improve performance. Its SAG Rubber outsole contains the Sensor Point Stabability Traction System which has studs connected to the Wave plate directly to the ground, giving it optimal stability and traction. Its upper contains Air Mesh, which allows the shoe to breathe and the foot to remain cool.
