Mizuno Wave® Cabrakan™ Wins Editors' Choice From Trail Runner Magazine

Norcross, GA (September 14, 2009) – Mizuno USA, Inc. announced today that their new Wave® Cabrakan™ (men's | women's) trail running shoe, utilizing Mizuno's SmoothRide Engineering™ Technology, has been awarded the "Editors' Choice" award from Trail Runner magazine as part of their October 2009 issue.

The Wave® Cabrakan™ is for the trail runner who seeks support and forefoot protection without sacrificing flexibility, keeping you dry and comfortable as you tackle the trails. This shoe is designed for moderate overpronators searching for a harmonious ride. The Wave® Cabrakan™ utilizes SmoothRide Engineering™ Technology, a breakthrough in performance footwear design direct from Mizuno's cutting edge Sozo™ Studio. SmoothRide Engineering™ allows the shoe to flow with the foot and body, making running more natural. This technology minimizes the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot during transition, creating the smoothest ride possible.

"We're very excited to get off to an excellent start with the Wave Cabrakan, being awarded an Editors' Choice from Trail Runner Magazine," said Fritz Taylor, Vice President and General Manager of the Running Division, Mizuno USA. "Our research and development team worked extremely hard to create this outstanding performance trail shoe, and we are confident that the Wave Cabrakan will continue to be well received in the trail running communities."

The Mizuno Wave® Cabrakan™ is now available in stores, with a suggested retail price of $124.99.
