The Mizuno Wave Claw Pro 2 is Mizuno’s flagship badminton shoe crafted with premium natural leather for a snug, responsive fit. Lightweight (~310 g), it features a reinforced Wave Plate, ENERZY foam midsole and insole, and a forefoot stretch-control layer—engineered for explosive accelerations, stability, and superior energy return.
Designed for elite-level play, the Wave Claw Pro 2 strikes a calculated balance of speed and stability. Its natural leather upper molds to the foot for close integration and improved kicking power. A forefoot stretch-control material prevents unwanted stretching during aggressive lateral movements. A separate lightweight sole unit enhances agility, optimizing the shoe for lightning-fast court starts.

ENERZY Foam (Forefoot): High-energy-return foam supports powerful take-offs and absorbs shock effectively. ENERZY Insole: Mirrors midsole technology to amplify cushioning and rebound with each step. Upper: 100% natural leather with reinforced stretch-control panel—both flexible and sturdy. Midsole/Insole: Full ENERZY foam structure with integrated Wave Plate for consistent comfort and propulsion. Outsole: Lightweight non-marking sole unit optimized for swift movement transitions.
