Mizuno Wave Rebellion Pro Beta Review

[@FFL3001]

I have the Wave Rebellion Pro 2 and as pointed out in the video the mass of foam is even further ahead of the heel in the Pro 2. It's a shoe I only use if I feel in excellent shape. If I can run fast with ease the Pro 2 will propel me ahead almost as if I am running downhill. But if my form is slightly off I will hit that bump of foam at the wrong angle and it feels like I'm stepping on something large and awkward every step i take. It's an interesting shoe, with a great upper, but I would struggle to find someone I could recommend it to.

The Rebellion Pro 2 and Flash 2 have been my favorite shoes to run in during 2024! You have to be a strong, efficient runner IMO to take advantage of these type/geometry of shoes. Not sure I can go 26.2 in them though.

Mizuno should probably start by making regular 6mm drop trainer first

I have the V1 and V2. Both super comfy ❤. Love the upper. V1 is excellent for my long runs.. Even slow runs.. V2 is so unstable that I can only use it for up to 5K VO2 max runs.. I need to slow down in the V2 if the road has any serous camber 😂..

Is the foam definitely confirmed to be TPEE? I couldn't find this detail on Mizuno's website. It would be great if it's definitely TPEE, as it's a lot more durable compared to PEBA.

Is this less aggressive (unstable) then V2?

For those that have tried this shoe, how is the sizing in v3? Is it the same as v2? With the v1 I went up half a size. With the v2 I went TTS and the fit was good.

I have v.1 The v.2 has a 2 or 2,5 mm drop. I don't think this version has a 8 mm drop, the official Mizuno site in the USA says 4 mm

Mizuno's problem is that they only make this 'concept' race shoe. Puma also has crazy shoes, but at least they make regular race shoes as well.

[@aliasgharkhoyee9501]

They also have traditional ones like the Wave Rebellion Flash 2 and Neo Vista.

[@patrickvanderwal6324]

@aliasgharkhoyee9501 they're both super trainers. Not race shoes. And the Flash 2 also lacks a heel so not really normal.

I thought they made golf clubs

Oh no! I am 8 minutes late... will you forgive me?
