Hyperwarp Pure
Built with dual-layer ENERZY XP superfoam and a full-length carbon plate, the Hyperwarp Pure delivers lightning-fast propulsion in Mizuno’s lightest racing package ever. Minimal, aggressive, and relentlessly efficient, it’s speed distilled to its purest form.
Details
The Mizuno Hyperwarp Pure stands as the lightest and fastest racing shoe Mizuno has ever created—an uncompromising, limited-production super shoe built for pure speed from the 5K to the marathon. As the sharpest edge of Mizuno’s racing lineup, it’s engineered to compete directly with the world’s most elite race-day footwear, bringing Mizuno’s distinct philosophy of precision, efficiency, and innovation to the highest level of competition.
At its core is a dual-layer ENERZY XP superfoam midsole, an ultra-light, highly responsive PEBA compound designed for explosive energy return with minimal mass. Sandwiched between these layers is a patent-pending, full-length 100% carbon fiber plate, delivering aggressive propulsion and razor-sharp efficiency. With a lower stack height than the Hyperwarp Elite and Pro, the Pure prioritizes agility, ground connection, and sustained speed—ideal for runners who want maximum responsiveness without excess foam.
Underfoot, Mizuno’s trusted G3 outsole compound is pared down to a razor-thin layer, providing race-day grip and durability with virtually no added weight. Up top, a barely-there performance upper delivers precise lockdown and cornering confidence while disappearing completely on foot. Stripped of all excess—including a sockliner—the Hyperwarp Pure is refined to its essence, offering the most direct, aggressive racing experience Mizuno has ever produced.
