Brooks Glycerin Max

Following Brooks’ innovation with the first edition of the Brooks Glycerin Max, the Glycerin Max 2 continues to deliver an exceptional mix of plush cushioning and lively energy return — now with an updated upper engineered for breathability, stretch, and strategic support. The Glycerin Max 2 features Brooks’ DNA Tuned cushioning, a supercritical foam compound moulded from two materials. The white foam has larger cells for a soft, plush feel, while the coloured foam features smaller cells for high energy return and propulsion. This combination works seamlessly with GlideRoll rocker technology to create soft landings followed by springy, energetic toe-offs. The high stack of cushioning should feel exceptionally protective during slower runs and long distances, but also offers great responsiveness if you pick up the pace. Whether you’re increasing weekly mileage, running on consecutive days, or just looking for a plush, protective companion for easy days and recovery runs, the Glycerin Max 2 delivers comfort without compromise. Compared to the Glycerin models, the Glycerin Max 2 offers a completely new experience. Its DNA Tuned foam and enhanced upper provide a unique balance of cushioning and energy return that no other Brooks model currently matches. That’s why we place the Glycerin Max in our Enhanced Energy category, while the Glycerin and Brooks Ghost remain in our Float Experience category.
