Offering cushioned comfort at a lightweight, this shoe is perfect for beginner to intermediate level players, especially wing spikers. This new Lightning Select model is the evolution of the previous Thunder Blade Z, while also drawing inspiration from Mizuno's elite-level Wave Lightning Elite. Three-Layer Mesh Upper Supplying you with comfort and fresh breathability during impactful periods on the court, the Lightning Select features a newly updated three-layer mesh. This unique construction provides feet with a seamless, wrap-around fit and optimum comfort, allowing feet to stay comfortable and move flexibly. With strategically placed perforations across the fabrics, the uppers provide feet with constant cool, fresh air to reduce the risks of overheating or discomfort. Durable overlays are added to the uppers in areas that are usually high-wearing, providing you with protection from bumps, scratches and scrapes when you're on the move. The soft tongue and collar keep feet well-contained. Working alongside this is a Dyna-Eyelet Wrap, which uses the large slit structure of the eyelets to provide a wrap-around fit, enveloping the whole foot and using traditional laces to lockdown your midfoot. EVA Midsole Softening your landing and providing you with optimum comfort on the court, the Lightning Select has an EVA midsole compound. This lightweight foam provides feet with energy-returning properties to keep feet bouncy and energetic during match day, and enhances fast movements. The shock-absorbing capabilities keep feet feeling ready to tackle every motion by absorbing impact when striking down onto tough surfaces and hard ground. To keep you supported and stable, the midsole features a flat sole and Outrigger Structure which extends outwards, providing you with confidence on the court. Non-Marking Rubber Outsole A non-marking rubber adorns the outsole of the Lightning Select to provide you with optimum grip and traction across various court surfaces. This outstanding rubber supports you during quick movement and tricky turns, whilst preventing damage being caused to the court you're training or competing on. The multi-directional grooves keep you supported with the ground below, adding an extra level of grip and traction to allow natural foot movements.
