Product Description
This year, Mizuno has added three exciting new technologies designed to provide a much more comfortable experience without adding much weight to the shoe. The Men’s Wave Tornado 5 features a new AP+ midsole that provides increased cushioning and rebound capability while remaining extremely lightweight. This has allowed the Wave Tornado 5 to provide a substantial increase in cushioning without adding much weight, which is extremely important for all volleyball players. Volleyball players will notice the AP+ midsole technology almost immediately.
Mizuno has also added its new Dynamotion Fit technology, which helps relieve the stress that the foot naturally places on the shoe, eliminating distortion for a perfect fit and improved durability.
The outsole of the Wave Tornado 5 features XG Rubber, an enhanced outsole rubber that provides for improved traction and flexibility on the court. Volleyball players who make quick cuts will love the new traction provided by the enhanced outsole rubber.
Like previous entries in the Wave Tornado line, the Wave Tornado 5 features Mizuno’s advanced Mizuno Wave technology to provide superior cushioning upon impact. The Mizuno Wave helps disperse impact forces uniformly over the length and width of the midsole, providing increased support, cushioning and comfort. Mizuno Wave also resists overpronation, thus relieving stress on ankle and knee joints and provides superior stability and cushioning when jumping and landing. Mizuno has included its popular VS-1 technology in the forefoot of the Wave Tornado 5 to provide for increased cushioning and shock absorption to complete the package. Mizuno VS-1 technology resists compression-set, which extends the cushioning life of these shoes substantially. VS-1 is also incredibly lightweight and returns to its original shape after impact, providing increased durability and extending the life of the shoe even further.
The Men’s Wave Tornado 5 also features Mizuno Intercool technology as well as AirMesh to provide for the ultimate in breathability and comfort. Intercool technology is a full-length midsole ventilation system that helps reduce heat and humidity build up inside the shoe, creating a comfortable environment for the foot. Mizuno’s AirMesh compliments the Intercool technology by providing three layers of mesh located in the upper of the shoe to provide increased breathability and ventilation that quickly dissipates warm air. An abrasion-resistant collar lining provides for much improved durability thanks to its Kura-Liner technology.
Look for the Men’s Wave Lightning 5 to continue dominating the competition, as it is sure to be one of the most popular volleyball shoes for this upcoming season.

Comments about Mizuno Wave Tornado 5 Men's Volleyball Shoes:
Great shoe, switched to this over the Mizuno Wave Lightning 6. The shoe is lighter, fits better and also helps with impact from jump. If anyone is torn between the Lightning and the tornado, go tornado. I play Mens USAV AA and have worn mizuno's for years. This is by far their best offering to date.

Comments about Mizuno Wave Tornado 5 Men's Volleyball Shoes:
The Mens Wave Tornado 5 is easily Mizuno's best shoe yet. I've worn almost all of Mizuno's Mens volleyball shoes and I've found this to be the best. They are a little bit heavier than the wave lightning's, but the tiny bit of extra weight makes them feel very secure.
If you have a wide foot like I do, these shoes will be good for you. They are tight, but not overly tight - they offer good support. I also have a high arch, and Mizuno did a good job of adding soft arch support that supports many types of feet pronation.
The red and black design is a nice change from the normal colors that Mizuno offers. I was also really happy with the price. You won't be disappointed with these shoes.
The ONE thing that I don't really like about these shoes - In the front, there is a flexible piece of fabric that makes the shoe bend better. When I walk, I can feel this piece rub against my foot. It is not uncomfortable, but just a bit odd.
Pros
- Absorbs Shock
- Attractive Design

Comments about Mizuno Wave Tornado 5 Men's Volleyball Shoes:
I wear these exclusively for Varsity volleyball.I wasn't too sure I'd like the Tornados as I couldn't try them on before ordering them. I was pleasantly surprised. I think the air vent is a great innovation. I highly recommend the Mizuno Wave Tornado 5.

Comments about Mizuno Wave Tornado 5 Men's Volleyball Shoes:
Shoes are pretty lightweight, I don't feel much of it. Traction is good, I rarely slip on this shoes even on the concrete (non-wooden) court of my gym. The sole design is good at absorbing shocks (I'm playing middle hitter). The only downside is that the tongues keep slipping to the side during my play.

I am a high school/club volleyball player. I have been wearing this shoe for about 3 weeks, 5-6 days a week. I really love how lightweight it is, it makes you feel as if you can jump higher. The only problem is that the grip seems to wear out after a couple of days.

Comments about Mizuno Wave Tornado 5 Men's Volleyball Shoes:
I am in a volleyball competition college level in my home town in Mexico.
I was so satisfied that one of my team partners asked where I had mine than he asked me to get a pair of tennis for him, most probably later some others will get a pair too.
It feel incredible during the games.
