Description
The Brooks Glycerin Max represents a bold leap into the “super-stack” category, combining Brooks’ signature plushness with cutting-edge nitrogen-infused technology. It is designed for runners who want maximum impact protection without the “mushy” feel of traditional high-stack shoes.
The Ultimate Max-Cushion Experience
The Glycerin Max introduces DNA Tuned, the next generation of nitrogen-infused foam. By using two different cell sizes within a single piece of foam, Brooks achieves a soft landing in the heel and a responsive, energetic toe-off.
Key Performance Features
DNA Tuned Technology: Dual-cell nitrogen infusion provides a “tuned” experience—plush where you land and firm where you push.
GlideRoll Rocker: A dramatic sculpted geometry that ensures effortless transitions from heel to toe, reducing muscle fatigue.
High Stack Height: Provides a massive buffer between your feet and the pavement, ideal for long recovery runs and daily miles.
Engineered Warp Weave: A breathable, premium upper that offers a secure yet flexible fit that adapts to your foot shape.
Broad Base: A wide platform provides inherent stability, even with the high stack height.
