Mizuno Wave Daichi 9: Built for Every Trail, Designed for Every Runner

From forest paths and mountain ridgelines to muddy climbs and gravel descents, the Mizuno Wave Daichi 9 is your all-in-one trail companion. Designed to handle any surface, any distance, and any runner, this versatile trail shoe offers a rare blend of cushioning, stability, grip, and comfort — all while feeling as smooth and soft as your favorite road runner.

The midsole is powered by MIZUNO ENERZY FOAM, delivering plush cushioning that absorbs shock on impact and rebounds with energy to keep you moving forward. For stability, MIZUNO WAVE technology creates a supportive base without adding bulk, helping guide your foot through uneven and technical terrain with confidence.

Underfoot, a Vibram Megagrip outsole ensures superior traction, even on slick or unpredictable surfaces. Whether you’re navigating wet rocks, loose gravel, or packed dirt, the Daichi 9 grips with authority and inspires trust with every stride.

The upper is just as dialed in. Breathable yet protective, it offers a secure, classic fit that feels soft and accommodating right out of the box. With added impact protection in key zones and a lightweight overall build, this shoe is ready to go long without weighing you down.

Whether you’re just getting into trail running or are an experienced adventurer looking for a reliable daily workhorse, the Wave Daichi 9 offers unmatched versatility, comfort, and performance — in all conditions, and on any terrain.
