Mizuno Wave Rebellion Pro 2 Full Review | Fast and fun but maybe not for everyone

[@JonSnow009]

I have 2 pairs of Rebellion Pro 1, one of them at over 830 km and it has very little wear, looks almost like new. The ride has softened a bit, compared to the newer pair (which has about 120 km). I am kinda looking forward to the Rebellion Pro 2, I am a midfoot striker and with the first version I land exactly in the sweet spot so I can only assume I will get along fine with the 2nd version. Weirdly enough, I don't get along with my Alphafly 2, it causes me arch pain and frankly I don't feel them as fast as the Mizuno. Or acommodating, evidently. As a side note, excellent review boys, as per usual. 🤗🤗 LE: I am a 3h30min marathoner and this Mizuno fits me perfectly, so their narrative of "sub 2 and a half hour time" is to be taken with a grain of salt. They work for me.

I love the flash 2 then I think i will love the rebellion pro 2, I will test it the next sunday in a marathon race. I used the v1 versione in an ultra marathon of 58km!

And?

Well said, gents. I agree that it’s a very fun shoe when you hit the sweet spot, but doing that consistently just requires a little too much conscious thought on the run. I don’t want to have to think about my racing shoes. I will still use this one for funsies though.

Recently got the flash 2 which is also very fast and fun for those quicker sessions. Working well as a training partner to my Hoka Cielo X1s. Which made me wonder if you could do a comparison of the pro 2s and the Cielo?

Nick,good move on avoiding the shoe In midst of marathon training. There are some reports of mild ankle instability leading to plantar fascia issues. Maybe not full blown fasciitis. And I love the shoe myself amount of cusion for how light is amazing. And that Supersport midsole might be part of rhe plantar fascia issues for some. Just too much squish up and down stretching that fascia. Don't tell my missus that I bought a pair, though.

I tried the v1 recently and I felt quite bad after .. and it lasted a few days .. both my ankles and plantar fascia and that area in general .. definitively one of the wildest and most niche and most "technical" super shoe imho .. for "advanced\hardcore runner" only .. hopefully my body will get used to it at some point but I'll take it slowly

[@InfoConGafas]

Not sure how exactly ankle instability leads to plantar fasciitis 😅

[@jean-phil]

@@InfoConGafas I did not say one led to the other ..

[@liquorinthefrontpokerinthe3881]

What about the flash 2?

[@i.p2088]

Shoe with no heel lock is a big problem for me. Love V1.

Hello Guys - thinking about newest version the pro 3. I’m an older running in late 60s. Do a lot of charity 5k races in my area. Doing about 20 miles wk with adidas sl2 and race the 5ks in nike streakfly or the vaporfly 3. A bit of heel striker. In training 11 min/mile pace. Race pace about 8:15/mile. U think could use the pro 3 for racing at my pace and foot striker?

[@markhill8590]
