The Momentum with more technology, built for jumping. Better in goal and at pivot than in lateral defence.

Description
The Mizuno Wave Momentum Elite Mid is the mid-cut version of the Wave Momentum flagship, originally conceived by Mizuno for the explosive jumping of volleyball. It combines MIZUNO ENERZY with ENERZY CORE in the forefoot and the Wave plate for top-tier cushioning, with an outrigger structure that gives extra support on the side of the foot and Dura Shield reinforcement on the toe. In handball it works better for goalkeepers and pivots who jump a lot than for positions with constant lateral movement.
