Brooks Glycerin Goes MAX

Brooks’ flagship model gets a makeover in both design and structure, aiming to be the go-to choice for all runners seeking maximum cushioning and protection


  • Glycerin MAX stands out with its bold design and innovative technology, delivering both softness and responsiveness.
  • DNA Tuned technology, similar to the combination of cocoa and hazelnut in Duplo, provides comfort while being dynamic.
  • Thanks to the GlideRoll Rocker, it adapts to different types of running, easing transitions and helping you run with less effort.

Exaggerated. In style. In performance. The adjective that best describes the new Glycerin MAX in my opinion is exaggerated. It makes its statement from the very first glance, with the maxi logo towering over the upper and midsole, showing off like never before. The Glycerin MAX is a shoe that does not go unnoticed: the color white dominates unchallenged, except for a few details and a shade of color that can be seen inside the midsole, with a “ghost” effect. This is not simply an aesthetic factor. The contrasting color, embedded in the midsole, is an integrated part of a brand new technology developed by Brooks and first employed in the very Glycerin MAX: DNA Tuned.

Like a Duplo

Imagine cocoa cream and hazelnut, the two main ingredients in Duplo, the world-famous chocolate snack that makes your mouth water at the very thought. When cocoa cream meets hazelnut and the textures and flavors merge, magic happens. Imagine the new DNA Tuned technology as a Duplo, a harmonious combination of two sensations that runners often seek in a shoe: softness and responsiveness. From the synergistic work of two types of cells of different size and color, both cushioning and pushing sensation were achieved by making a new single material. The great novelty of the Glycerin MAX lies precisely in this: in the use of a single adaptable material, capable of meeting the needs of different types of runners, giving each one the best possible running experience. Like having several shoes in one.

Ask her, and she will give you

Revolutionary new compound has been incorporated in large quantities into the new Glycerin MAX. The stack of the shoe has been increased compared to other models, to lift it further off the ground and help protect the body even better from impacts with the ground. Glycerin MAX is designed to be a shoe that can adapt to your mood, whatever it may be. It will support you on days when your training plan includes a recovery run or an easy run, perhaps with final strides. When you try to gradually increase your speed Glycerin MAX will accompany you in your progression thanks to the presence of the GlideRoll Rocker, which makes each step smoother and more dynamic, helping you run with less effort. Glycerin MAX listens to you and gives something back. A shoe designed to respond to your every need, capable of letting you recover after the most intense training sessions and have fun when all you want is to unwind.
