Textile: The textile upper of the sneakers is lightweight, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and sports. It ensures air circulation, keeps feet fresh and adapts to their shape. Often complemented with synthetic or rubber details for durability and support.
DNA FLASH v2: Cutting-edge technology used in running shoes that strikes a balance between lightness and responsiveness. It is an evolution of the original DNA FLASH cushioning, which is now infused with nitrogen to improve its performance properties. This technology is designed to offer runners a soft yet firm tread and provide comfort without compromising speed.
SpeedVault plate: This plate is designed to increase the stiffness of the shoe and provide a more agile and responsive ride, especially on faster runs. Combined with the rocker geometry of the shoe, it promotes quick transitions from landing to toe-off, helping runners maintain a quick and efficient stride. This technology is part of Brooks' commitment to offering a high-performance shoe for training and racing.
Brooks is a well-known brand specializing in running shoes.
The brand was founded in 1914 by John Brooks Goldenburg and initially specialized in ballet slippers and bathing shoes. Over time, it expanded into making baseball cleats (which were also worn by Mickey Mantle!) and roller skates, and in the early 1970s it ventured into making running shoes. Global presence: Brooks has its worldwide headquarters in Seattle, right along the Burke-Gilman running and biking trail next to Lake Union. It also has a flagship retail store called Brooks Trailhead. Additionally, their gear is used by runners in over 50 countries, with a second home in Amsterdam.
Brooks designs their equipment in the lab, but brings it to life on a human level. Their world-leading researchers study physiology and biomechanics to ensure that your every move is comfortable when wearing their equipment.
