Design and performance

The Inspire 22 updates the midsole with Nitrogen-infused Mizuno Enerzy NXT, delivering cushioning and energy return while reducing weight. A Wave Plate helps prevent partial deformation, guiding the foot forward for softer movements and higher stability, with shapes tuned to prevent arch collapse. The upper remains breathable through perforations that promote air circulation and moisture evaporation, keeping feet dry during intense sessions. The shoe’s drop is 10 mm, contributing to a natural feel, while the combination of Enerzy NXT and the wave-based support targets overpronation without a heavy or rigid ride. An anatomically shaped midsole and removable Premium Insock enhance comfort and fit for everyday use and longer runs.
