WAVE DAICHI 9 GTX

TrailReleased 2025-07-01JP

Wave Daichi 9 GTX is an all-weather trail shoe with a waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX membrane. Its smooth stretch woven upper flexes across the foot while resisting lengthwise stretch, paired with a 2E-equivalent fit. Full-length Mizuno Enerzy cushioning and a dual-density EVA Foam Wave balance comfort and stability, while a forefoot EVA rock plate disperses impacts and Vibram Megagrip handles wet, uneven terrain.

Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
Mizuno Japan official product page lists approx. 320g per shoe at 27.0cm.
Plate note
Mizuno Europe's exact product page identifies a shock-dispersing forefoot EVA rock plate and a dual-density EVA Foam Wave. These are named non-carbon structures, so the shoe remains classified as non-carbon rather than plate-free.
