Wave Rebellion Pro 3 LO

Details
The Mizuno Wave Rebellion Pro 3 LO delivers the elite race-day performance of Mizuno’s flagship super shoe in a more approachable, lower-profile configuration. Tuned with a reduced heel bevel, this LO version offers smoother, less aggressive transitions while preserving the high-speed efficiency demanded by runners chasing personal bests in the half and full marathon. The result is a race-ready ride that feels fast, fluid, and confidently controlled.
At its core is a dual-layer midsole of MIZUNO ENERZY XP, a nitrogen-infused supercritical foam that balances soft landings with explosive toe-off energy. Between the foam layers sits a carbon fiber-infused WAVE plate, providing propulsion and structural efficiency without adding unnecessary weight. Guided by SMOOTH SPEED ASSIST geometry, the shoe naturally directs your stride into a rhythmic, forward-rolling motion that supports sustained pace at high speeds.
Up top, a breathable engineered mesh upper delivers race-day comfort with secure lockdown, while the full-length G3 outsole supplies lightweight, reliable traction all the way to the finish line. Sleek, efficient, and precision-tuned, the Wave Rebellion Pro 3 LO offers elite performance for runners who want speed without an exaggerated heel profile.
