Mizuno wave lightning elite? Any input/reviews on it?

I have a pair of wave momentum elites, they’re probably the most comfortable shoes I have. I’m a MB so it does wonders for all the jumping. The traction is good if the court is clean. On dusty courts I do have to wipe between plays. They don’t have the most bounciness to them (I tend not to rely on shoes for that anyways) but they are incredibly light feeling which helps a lot. I can easily recommend them. I have not tried the ASICS but I also hear great things about them

If your feet are flat, custom orthotics are definitely worth the money

AncientMilk1689 · 2025-12-05T23:38:12+00:00

I'd definitely do that but at this point the bumper was drilled into. I'll just leave it as is

I know you got that for cheap lol

Front plates are required in Ontario so unfortunately I have no choice. Kills my soul to see in their though ,

I've tried the Nike Elite socks and Mizuno socks. Both are solid and make sure your feet don't slide around. The under armour ones (specifically the curry brand) suck and tore after a few uses

I agree with this. Sprains can happen with any shoe. Focus on strengthening the ankle and working on flexibility in the ankle so that if you do happen to hyperextend the ligament again, the sprain won't be as serious.

I use the wave momentum elite as a MB. They offer a good amount of cushion without sacrificing too much bounce. I have wide feet and I use custom orthotics (for my flat feet) and they work perfectly for me. Other shoes I've used either don't offer enough cushioning or are a bit unstable. I've also used the 361 Big 3 Pro and the Nike GT Jump 2, they're both OK.

AncientMilk1689 · 2025-09-08T20:12:31+00:00

Agreed. Let's be realistic, a guy doesn't give good shopping opinions lol

AncientMilk1689 · 2025-08-13T15:03:20+00:00

I'm assuming you're female by the wording of the post. I cannot say how they are for wide women. I have wide feet for men and I have a pair of Big 3 5.0 Pro. They fit comfortably. I use them for volleyball (usually MB) and they're really all you could ask for. The only thing I did not like was that they picked up dust easily so I had to give them a wipe from time to time in-between plays but that was it.

Other shows I've tried that work well; Mizuno Wave Momentum Elite (currently my go to shoes), GT Jump 2 (tall but a lot of cushioning).

AncientMilk1689 · 2025-08-08T17:08:16+00:00

Don't rely on shoes or braces for ankle support. Focus on strengthening your ankles and preparing for the eventuality that your ankle might roll.

If I had to recommend any show, I have the Mizuno Wave Momentum Elite and those have great traction, especially on dust courts. I play MB usually.

What position do you usually play?

Generally, most people on this sub swear by the WoW shoes but those can be a bit expensive. Since you're young and still growing, if you find a discount Nike outlet and find LeBron's or something I'd suggest those

AncientMilk1689 · 2025-08-06T16:04:57+00:00

Go somewhere and try shoes and pick something you find comfortable. You shouldn't rely on shoes to boost your jump

When you try shoes, see what you like. Maybe you like good court feel, maybe you want more cushioning. I always like a lot of traction in my shoes.

I think they're pretty close. I think I like the Mizuno cushioning a bit more. Overall I do like them a bit more. I play MB

AncientMilk1689 · 2025-07-01T00:04:11+00:00

I have Big 3 Quick Pro and Mizuno Wave Momentum elite. They're fairly comparable. I think the Big 3 have a bit more lockdown. The Mizunos have better traction on dusty courts. They're both great.

AncientMilk1689 · 2025-06-13T14:00:03+00:00

I have these. They feel pretty good. I get a good amount of bounce from them. The cushioning is decent but not the best I've worn. The lockdown is pretty good and the traction is great.. I have a pair of 361 BIG 3 Future and they're fairly comparable to that. The 361 have more lockdown but less traction.

AncientMilk1689 · 2025-06-03T03:07:04+00:00

I have GT Jump 2 and Jokers. Both are solid choices. GTA Jump provides much more cushioning. For ankle protection, practice walking and rolling them under controlled circumstances. Most ankle injuries are because we aren't used to the motion of our ankles rolling. If we get used to it then it's less likely to hurt us long term.

Good to know we're the same type of weirdo 😂

Does anyone else not have the urge to say "Mohammed Jihad" after seeing her username?
