Mizuno Hyperwarp Pure
An astonishing 135 g pure-PEBA carbon racer built for 5K-to-half efforts by fast, efficient runners. Minimal structure and a low 33 mm stack make it the most aggressive shoe Mizuno sells. Anyone wanting protection, stability, or marathon-distance cushion should pick the Elite or Pro instead.
