To begin this major undertaking, the brand launched the Ghost 14 as its first carbon neutral trainer. In summer 2021, Brooks announced its goal of becoming a net-zero carbon emissions company by 2040. The most responsive expression of Brooks’s DNA foam debuted on the Hyperion Tempo. A Brooks rep promises that the Adrenaline-the original Go-to-Shoe-will keep its moniker, because you can’t rename a legend. For example, the newest Transcend model is renamed Glycerin GTS, and the Ravenna is now the Launch GTS. Formerly “Go-to-Shoe,” the GTS acronym is now redefined as “Go-to-Support” GTS will now be tagged onto all stability shoes following the name of their neutral counterparts. Instead of trying to “control” pronation, a higher-density foam on the medial and lateral sides of the midsole creates a bumper effect to align knee and ankle movement.īesides making the switch to Guide Rails, Brooks is also introducing a new naming convention for its stability shoes. Several modifications on stability tech followed, including the Diagonal Rollbar.īrooks’s most recent stability tech, the Guide Rails system, is the brand’s holistic approach in preventing erratic movement caused by running fatigue, which can lead to injury. The Varus Wedge, a firm piece of foam on the interior side of the heel, helped control inward rotation of the foot (i.e., overpronation). Brooks originated the stability shoe with the release of the Vantage in 1977.
