Brooks DNA

Brooks DNA is a groundbreaking, patent-pending cushioning material that provides a customized ride for runners of all sizes and speeds. Working with BioMoGo, Brooks DNA responds to your every step, dispersing impact and providing ideal comfort and protection as the pace and surface change.

BioMoGo

Brooks has taken the long-lasting cushioning of its BioMoGo midsole and made it more environmentally friendly. A nontoxic, natural additive in the BioMoGo compound encourages anaerobic microbes to munch away 50 times faster once it hits an active, enclosed landfill.

Progressive Diagonal Rollbar (PDRB)

Our tri-density PDRB midsoles are biomechanically engineered to allow for progressive pronation control and to create smoother transitions from the midstance phase into the propulsion phase.

DRB Accel

Shank-like thermoplastic device provides torsional rigidity to midfoot, enhancing support while allowing the heel and forefoot to act independently.

Caterpillar Crash Pad

This segmented crash pad customizes the individual's lay down with just the right amount of cushion and stabilization, giving the runner a smooth heel-to-toe transition.

HPR Plus

A higher durability, abrasion-resistant rubber outsole compound that wears longer.

HPR Green

This durable and long-wearing outsole compound is made with dispersing silica, resulting in premium wet-dry traction for excellent skid-resistance and a more environmentally friendly composition.

Engineered MC Pod Configuration

Midsole and outsole components are engineered to set the foot in an efficient, balanced position from heel-strike to toe-off, offering maximum motion control and flexibility.

Element

Upper technology featuring superior microfiber construction to provide a light, supple, quiet fabric that offers breathability, durability and comfort.
