🖋 Amazing review! So happy they fit true to size for you. As someone who helped launch this shoe- many testers claimed it ran a half size small. I have a narrow foot and they fit true to size for me too.
Cheers for watching, Selena, and for the✒️! This just proves that we don't have "narrow" feet, we have normal feet! 🤣
SO great to see Mizuno get into the carbon game! Love the colorway - reminds me of the Ascis Noosa Tri and the Saucony Endo Pro3 - Panda! Fun stuff Matt!
Yeah, Mizuno really came out swinging with their first super shoe! I’m totally in love with this colorway! 🐼 ❤️
@@its_Matt_B_ Yes it's way cool! There was a Skechers Razor in a zebra pattern a couple of years ago that was also awesome!
Great job !! A really detailed review that goes far beyond the usual nuts and bolts. Kudos !
Cheers for watching, Massimo! I appreciate your kind words! 👊🏽
🖊️ I ran a marathon in these…they killed my hips and thighs!!
Great job on your race, Chris! I know it wasn’t the result you were hoping for, but still a phenomenon effort! 💪🏽 My quads tend to hurt no matter what shoes I wear in a marathon. How was your Achilles? Did the low drop affect them?
@@its_Matt_B_ Thanks mate 👊 To be honest couldn’t expect more off 20-25 mile weeks. These shoes take ALL the load off my Achilles & calf. After the marathon they felt 👌 Not sure how they work out the drop as they’re more like 15mm plus with the angle your foot sits within the shoe. Takes the pressure off the calf’s but puts it on the thighs. I’ve never had this issue better, including London. For me this shoe only works if you’re on the pace. Will only wear up to 10k’s
Interesting Chris as I’ve had the same issues
@@MichaelJones-by9gl Glad it’s not just me. But when I use them for a 5k they’re out of this world 🔥🔥🔥
Outstanding review! Mizuno made a trick with the heel stack, the real midfoot stack height is more than 40mm.. very interesting shoe.
Cheers, Yaki! Mizuno did something different, but not tricky. 😉 World Athletics made the rule about the 40mm max stack measured at 12% of the length. Mizuno was just the first company to exploit the 12% measurement point.🤷🏻♂️😆
Great review Matt. I love the unique design and colorway.
Thanks, MrJ! I’m with you on the design and colorway! It’s gorg! 😍
It's a rock and roll running shoe! 😂 Or maybe Jackson Pollock!
@@DevRunner you have taste. Definitely the colorway for sub 2.50!
🖋 I have a pair but have only been able to put about 20km into them. Have been recovering from my injuries (not from shoes and etc) for the past 7 weeks. Looking forward to be getting back to running again soon.
Sorry to hear you've been getting over an injury, but glad you have a sweet pair of WRPs ready to welcome you back! Don't rush getting back; it'll be worth the wait! 👊🏽
Did my Stryd workouts this morning with the Wave rebellion Pro. Walking to the start point was really very strange but once running even first steps warmup they feel absolutely normal. I am heel striker but no problem at all at probably 10 minutes mile beginning of the warmup.. Just so comfortable.. And this is how it felt during Fartlek and cooldown.. Just so comfortable and normal.. Excellent results in the run. Feel like a USABLE Alphafly V1... {I can't run in the Alphafly V1 at all.. Kills my Achilles Tendon and low calf muscle} .After hard (VO2 max) my legs feel fresh... My pace on the cooldown back was ~5 min per km so really fast for me. All in all forget the looks. It's just an amazing shoe. Will take it on my long hard run next week. By the way.. I went half a size up because I have WIDE FEET. Fit is amazing. It's a wide shoe 👍🏻. Could have gone TTS?
Fantastic! I'm so glad your workout went well! I'm so glad to hear they worked so well and were fast!! I wonder if your legs feeling fast after your Vo2 max workout could mean you could have gone faster!? Either way, it's a good sign!
@@its_Matt_B_ basically I do 2.5km warmup going to Tempo at the end. Then 8 x 2 minutes at 108% CP with 90 second easy run betw follow by 2.5km Tempo run back home. My 8 x 2 minutes is uphill. My HR in the last set was 165 (I am 61) and my legs felt tired. Recover was quite instant. Was 0530 when starting but already 26°C 🙄
Honestly my legs feel like I did not run today 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I do see a MUCH higher cadance then normal but I felt like I was running the same way.. High cadance = Fresh legs.
@@i.p2088 Wow! You put in a really solid effort, especially considering those things arm temps! 💪🏽
Took me a while to get my foot landing in sweet spot. However,
once dialed in... Suprisingly Fast.
Kakizome looks awesome. Love 'em.
Yeah, it takes a bit of getting used to, but i'm with you; this shoe is quick!
🖋 My super-shoes are the original Vaporflys and Alphaflys. I am looking at these next as I am a midsole striker and I concentrate of the smoothness of my run when I'm running at my tempo pace. I'm currently aiming at a sub 4h 5min BQ time and I am currently 4min outside that.
Good luck getting that BQ and I’d love to hear your thoughts on the WRP after you’ve put a few runs in it!
Thanks for the🖊️!
@@its_Matt_B_, I am currently waiting to theses to come down in price and finding these in my sizes in the UK this summer.
Great review
Thank you, Andrea! 👊🏽 They feel very fast!
🖋No supershoes here, saving them for that last little push over the edge if I ever get to the edge of something where the push would matter. But those are awesome looking shoes and I really enjoyed your excellent review of them. That's quite a strong recommendation. Run well, my friend!
I wish everyone could take them out for a run just to try them! They're different than anything else I've run in before! I think they'll favor the more efficient runner in the longer races (which is not me), but they feel fast!
Wore these shoes for a half marathon yesterday managed a time off 1:21.......7 minutes knocked off my previous time, outstanding shoes once you get your sizing sorted (had to go a full size up)
Wow! A 7-minute faster time is seriously good! Mizuno should use you in their ads!
@@its_Matt_B_ thank you very much for saying that over the moon with the time, there were 6000 people running I came in at 106th place :D
@@markhill8590 what a result! 🏆
@@its_Matt_B_ I've been told that it's an extremely good time. I'm mainly do 5k & 10k races......my 5k pb is 18:05 and 10k is 38:38. Both times where set wearing the Hoka Rocket x2's. But I'm starting to slowing enjoy the mizuno more especially for those longer miles, can't race anything further than a 10k in the Hokas for some reason.....maybe because theres very aggressive plate in the shoe.
🖋 these look amazing overall. Thanks for a great review.
Cheers for watching, Mark! They sure are a good looking running shoe, and really turn heads!💫
Thank you for another good review! ✒!
Cheers, David, and thanks so much for the 🖊️! 👊🏽
Love the look of these! 🖋
I’m with you! I think these are the best looking shoes out there atm.
🖋️. I'm currently using Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 and pretty happy. Probably not fast enough for the Mizuno🤙
These feels a little quicker than the EP3, but the EP3 is such a fun and forgiving ride that if it’s working for you, stick with it!
🖋 Thank you for the review. I am still deciding between the Mizuno and the Hoka Rocket X2. 🤔
Thanks for watching and for the 🖋. I haven't tried the RX2 yet so can't give any recs, but the Wave Rebellion Pro is QUICK!!
I ordered Mizuno rebellion pro and it hasn't arrived yet. Do you think Rebellion pro is as good as aplhafly and adios 3 pro? I can cancel my order and buy nike or adidas. what are your experiences?
My experience is that the Rebellion Pro is ideal for faster speeds. It works best when you land on your forefoot. If you land on your forefoot the Wave Rebellion Pro is just as good as the AF3!
If you tend to strike your heel when you’re racing I would go with the Nike or Adidas!
🖊️ My current running performance doesn’t justify a super shoe but I enjoy running in Mizuno shoes and your review of this shoe is very tempting.
Yeah, I get not being able to justify a super shoe, and this one especially demands an aggressive pace to make the most out of it!
Thanks for the 🖊️! 👊🏽
Got the Wave Rebellion Pro an hour ago in the Kakizome color at last. Went up half a size.. I am 43 in Saucony.. Nike.. New Balance.. But Mizuno in 27.5 cm says 42.5.. But since I have wide feet and some (not you) advice going up half a size I did. They fit amazing. Enough room in the midfoot and toebox.. Do seem a half size long but I think going TTS would crush my toes. I did notice that the tongue keeps bunging up on one side when I put them on.. Of course it's the add on.. They saw the sticker with the size to the side of the tongue.. Why not put it like a sticker.. So I cut this out.. Problem solved. Walking around the house feels super strange. Like having a tennis ball under your arches.. I already did my run in the morning so I will run in them tomorrow morning for the first time.. My question.. I have the Stryd hard Fartlek workout tomorrow.. 10 x 1. 5 minutes at 108% CP.. How suitable is it for sprints ❓To high? To unstable❓
Double post. Comment added on other one!
🖋 hey Matt, another shoe I'm intrigued about. If only I had a full bank account 😂.
I'm typically running in the Alphafly and the OG Endorphin Pro.
They shoe could be a game changer!
Yeah, It's funny how minor things, like low funds, seem to get in the way of our fun! I've never run in the Alphafly, but if that and the V1 Endo Pro are your shoes of choice, you may want to check out the Endo Elite. My review of that drops next Friday!
@@its_Matt_B_ I like the Alpha's because they preserve the legs👍. But those Mizuno W R Pros might be the next choice.
But there are too many shoes I want to try!
Got mine and done a couple of runs already. It's super special and nothing like ive ever experienced before. Can't wait to race my first marathon in these in a week's time 🤞
It really is a special shoe and refreshing because it’s different from what we’ve seen! What are you racing next week?
@It's Matt B Canberra marathon. Have only worn the shoe once for a tempo Run and saved it for race day
@@Vikram-es2vw Brilliant! Good luck and happy racing!
🖋 Thanks for the video. I was waiting for you to review this one. My current marathon shoe is Alphafly 1. I am definitely considering this shoe for my next marathon. I cannot explain but I have a strong feeling that this shoe will work for me. It is a pretty special design.
Just one question: Was it TTS for you? Do you have a thumb-width space in front of your longgest toe? I heard that this debut colorway runs a bit short and other reviewers are recommending 1/2 size up while the regular colorways are TTS etc.
This was definitely TTS for me. I remember seeing that some of the early reviewers got pre-production models and the size wasn't dialed in. I didn't pick up a pair until after they were released and they were spot on!
Hi Matt, I finally got to test these shoes as demo shoes at a group run hosted by Mizuno and Fleet Feet. I had actually met the rep in another run a week earlier and she brought these to this run just for me. 😀I wear normally size 10 and she had size 10 and 10.5 and I felt 10.5 fit better. However, I only did a little over 2 miles in them because it was a 106F day here in Austin, TX area at the time I tried in the afternoon. I did like the comfort and bounce when I landed at the highest stack point, but I also found them a bit less stable than Alphafly v1 and even as I knew where to land, it took a lot of concentration to maintain fast pace. I still think they are quite special design but now I am not sure they would be my next marathon shoe knowing that I wouldn't be able to maintain my form discipline for that long.
🖊️✒️🖋️( can’t remember which pen 🤷♂️). But currently running in the adios pro 3. I was a curious about this shoe and almost picked it up for review but is this a 💯 no go if you heel strike? I’m just thinking late in a marathon getting tired and a little sloppy.
Yeah, for me this is questionable as a marathon shoe for that exact reason. If I could maintain my form throughout a marathon this would definitely be the fastest option.
Thanks for the pen (any pen will do)!
Tbh. My marathon/ half marathon shoe is the new balance rc elite 2. Bit soft for shorter triathlons so giving the rebellion flash a go this weekend
Which tri are you racing this weekend? LMK how it goes! I’ve raced up to a half marathon in the Flash and it feels quick!
@@its_Matt_B_ a local one in marbella, spain
@@craigpilcher Sprint, Olympic?
@@its_Matt_B_ this ones a sprint. So short
@@craigpilcher Short but always a load of fun!
✒️ Thanks for the review! I'm really interested in these but a little concerned about the fit. I usually wear a 12 2E. My go to racing shoe has been the New Balance SC Elite v3. I recently tried the regular width SC Elite v3 and found the fit just fine, so I'm hoping this holds true with these shoes as well.
They’re definitely worth trying! Find somewhere with free shipping both ways and try them on! Don’t judge them by how they feel walking around your home. They feel weird when you walk in them! 🤣
I've done 2 workouts and just can't seem to dial up the paces. 3-month build up I smashed all my quality sessions except with the Rebellion....I will try them a few more times cause I really want to like them, but so far... they haven't been great.
How do they feel when you're running in them? Do they feel like you're moving as well as in your other shoes or do you notice that you're not hitting your paces?
@It's Matt B they feel as if I should be on pace, but I'm actually slower, so then I need to increase my effort. Unlike the Endorphin Elites or AlphaFly V1, I'm usually faster than target paces on what feels like the same effort.
@@adrianm.7800 Interesting. 🤔
Great review of an intriguing shoe
Seems like a shoe for short fast runs for us non elite old runners 😊
How would you compare it to the Vaporfly for a 5k? 🤔
It is very comparable to the VF at the 5k because the 5k is so fast! Also, the stability is about the same in both. This shoe feels faster than the VF, but I don’t have concrete data that it actually is.
I will be making a comparison video between this and the VF3 in the next few weeks. 👊🏽
@@its_Matt_B_ Thanks Matt.. looking forward to that video 😊
The vaporfly slightly faster over a 5k based on my experience
@@LeonAl-hl1yl Good to know! Which Vaporfly are you using?
@@its_Matt_B_ Both V1 and V2, with V1 being marginally better in terms of bounce and energy return. This was confirmed by 5k TT on the road
Looks great…😊
It’s speedy, for sure! 👟💨
Thanks
Ran my first marathon in the endorphin pro 3 but got really numb toes so got the adidas pro 3 with wider toe box
Considering trying the rocket x2, metaspeed sky plus and RC elite V3 for next marathon
🖊️
Good luck finding the perfect super shoe! It’s definitely out there!
When is your next marathon?
@@its_Matt_B_ thanks
Just found out I got a spot for NY - I will be running for the ALS foundation !
First major - very excited
@@davidzlotnick1899 oh wow! Huge congrats! NY is the one to do!👟🗽
Digging the 4 mm drop; not digging the $$$. Is this PEBAX? Would you happen to know the energy return? 4% maybe? Couldn't find the pen emoji but I was here. Thx Matt.
Yeah, the price is 😑, but it’s right in line with the competition. As far as Pebax, it has to be. I can’t find it listed, but there is no way Mizuno would use anything else (and it feels like Pebax underfoot). As far as energy return, I don’t know. That is also not often listed.
@@its_Matt_B_ Thanks Matt. If I don't talk to you sooner, best of luck at Boston.
