Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 86.6 / 100 — « The exaggerated heel bevel and the pronounced rocker make the Mizuno Wave Rebellion Flash 3 a fun, forward-ride that definitely won't be heel strikers' first choice. We appreciated the improved midsole responsiveness and outstanding shock absorption, making this an excellent everyday shoe. It definitely could be more stable, but at this price point, we think this shoe packs almost everything you want from a super trainer! »
