MizunoWave Rebellion Pro 3
With ENERZY XP superfoam, a carbon-infused Wave Plate, and SMOOTH SPEED ASSIST geometry, the Rebellion Pro 3 delivers uncompromising propulsion and efficiency at race-day pace. Lightweight, breathable, and built for PRs, it’s Mizuno’s pinnacle racing weapon for runners ready to redefine their limits.
Details
Designed to chase PRs with unwavering speed and precision, the Mizuno Wave Rebellion Pro 3 represents Mizuno’s most advanced evolution in racing performance. This third iteration introduces MIZUNO ENERZY XP, a nitrogen-infused supercritical foam engineered for a razor-sharp balance of propulsive rebound and deep cushioning—ideal for holding pace through late-race fatigue.
A carbon-infused Rilsan nylon WAVE PLATE amplifies turnover with structured snap, while SMOOTH SPEED ASSIST design refines the heel geometry for more efficient loading and softer landings at high speeds. The result is a smoother, faster transition line built to sustain aggressive tempo over marathon distance demands.
Finishing details include a stripped-back engineered mesh upper for race-weight breathability and a performance G3 outsole compound that enhances forefoot traction without slowing you down. From 10K to 26.2, the Wave Rebellion Pro 3 is Mizuno’s flagship race machine—calibrated for power, tuned for control, and crafted for your fastest finish yet.
