Wave Sky 8

Max CushionRelease date 2024JP

WAVE SKY 8 is a neutral max-cushion trainer for daily road mileage, long runs and recovery. New ENERZY NXT in the top midsole reduces weight, while an ENERZY lower layer and Foam Wave combine cushioning with stability. The Smooth Stretch Woven upper adapts to the foot for a secure fit. Durable X10 rubber completes its everyday running construction.

Long run

Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
Approx.275g for one men's27.0cm shoe from the exact Mizuno Japan J1GC2402 page. The prior AU provenance is obsolete. Marathon Sports now lists9.9oz without a sample size; it is not converted into the gram value.
Plate note
Complete exact official JP and PH construction describes ENERZY NXT/ENERZY and Foam Wave, without a carbon plate structure. The PH page explicitly describes replacing a plastic plate with foam Wave. This supports false under the complete-spec policy; X10 carbon rubber is outsole material, not carbon plate.
