Overall Rating
Infinity Wave Overhype
The Infinity Wave technology looks impressive but does not significantly improve the running experience over standard Wave plates.
Premium Materials
Materials and construction are high quality, but this does not justify the $200 price point for most runners.
Limited Appeal
Only Mizuno enthusiasts or collectors will find value at this price level.
✓ Pros
- • Premium materials
- • Unique Infinity Wave
- • Excellent craftsmanship
✗ Cons
- • Extremely expensive
