Mizuno Wave Lightning Z8 MID Volleyball Shoe

Lightning speed… with a collar that protects your ankle

The WAVE LIGHTNING Z8 MID is the mid-cut version of the Lightning Z8, Mizuno's speed shoe and the generation before the Lightning Elite. It weighs about 320 g for a 27.0 cm shoe.

Technology

• MIZUNO ENERZY NXT in the forefoot — where jumping loads the foot, for more cushioning and rebound. Mizuno says it cushions about 18% more than the Z7.
• New MIZUNO WAVE plate along the inner forefoot — supports the push at take-off.
• Highest heel curve in Lightning history — designed from jump research to support the take-off step.
• Slit eyelets — the laces follow the shape of the foot for a better fit.
• Mid-cut collar, a removable Mizuno Enerzy insole and a last that fits 2E width.

Who is it for?

• Players who love Lightning's lightness but want support above the ankle.
• Outside hitters and setters — quick movement, then a jump and landing near the net.
• Anyone who wants a top-tier shoe at last generation's price.

If you want the newest generation, choose the Wave Lightning Elite MID.
