Details

MIDSOLE
• Brooks DNA: Individual molecules connected in strands and chains that react to the amount of force placed on the foot.
• BioMoGo: Brooks took the long-lasting cushioning of the MoGo midsole and made it more environmentally friendly by adding a non-toxic, natural additive to the MoGo compound that encourages anaerobic microbes to munch away once it hits an active, enclosed landfill.
• DRB® Accel Enhances tunable torsion of the midfoot. Shank-like thermoplastic devices vary from single units of a set modulus, to dualunit versions of varied modulus (tuned with higher stiffness for medial support, the lateral side less stiff to smooth the ride).
• S-257 Cushsole
• Universal Sprung Platform

OUTSOLE
• HPR Plus A higher durability, abrasion-resistant rubber outsolecompound that wears longer.
• Engineered Cush Pod Construction: Midsole and outsole components are engineered to set the foot in an efficient, balanced position from heel strike to toe-off, offering maximum cushioning and flexibility.
• Flexalon Rubber Forefoot

UPPER
• Profile Sockliner
• Element Mesh: Technology featuring superior microfiber construction to provide weather protection in a light, supple, quiet fabric that doesn’t sacrifice breathability, durability or comfort.
• Element moisture managing linings
