Mizuno Wave Rebellion Flash 2

1Reviewers position the Mizuno Wave Rebellion Flash 2 as a daily trainer with up-tempo or workout capability rather than a dedicated speed or racing shoe.

Buyers looking for an everyday trainer that can handle some uptempo work may find the Flash 2 fits that role, but those seeking a lightweight speed-day shoe should look elsewhere given its weight and firm ride.

2Reviewers note the Mizuno Wave Rebellion Flash 2 features a very aggressive heel bevel, a design element it shares with the Wave Rebellion Pro line, based on kofuzi's direct observation and MidLife Runner's comparative note that the Flash 2's bevel is more aggressive than the Pro 3 Low's.

The aggressive heel bevel is a defining design feature of the Flash 2; runners who have found such geometry uncomfortable or disruptive to their stride in other Mizuno shoes should be aware the Flash 2 uses a similar approach.

3The reviewer observed that the Mizuno Wave Rebellion Flash 2 has a relatively narrow fit, particularly in the forefoot, compared to its successor the Flash 3.

Runners with wider feet may find the Flash 2 snug; the Flash 3 reportedly offers a bit more forefoot room, which could be a consideration when choosing between generations.

4The reviewer notes that the Mizuno Wave Rebellion Flash 2 uses a very stiff plate that is not carbon, sharing design philosophy with the more expensive Wave Rebellion Pro.

The Flash 2 borrows aggressive design elements from Mizuno's super-shoe line but uses a non-carbon stiff plate, which may appeal to buyers wanting a Pro-like feel at a lower price point.
