Overview
A nitrogen-infused DNA Loft midsole lies beneath a double jacquard air mesh upper in this Brooks neutral trainer, with flex grooves cut into the midsole for smooth transitions. The rubber outsole uses recycled silica.
Choose it as an everyday road and treadmill shoe for runners and walkers alike. Cushioning is moderate rather than plush, and heel-to-toe drop is not stated.
Who it's for
Road runs, treadmill sessions, gym days and travel walking are the stated uses. People who need stability correction or off-road traction should consider another model.
Pros and cons
- DNA LOFT v3 nitrogen-infused cushioning
- Flex grooves aid smooth transitions
- Double jacquard air mesh upper
- Kick-back collar adds structure
- Moderate cushioning, not maximum
- Heel-to-toe drop not listed
- Not water resistant
- Neutral only, no stability support
Performance notes
Nitrogen-infused foam gives soft landings, and the flex grooves in the midsole let the shoe bend at toe-off so the stride flows. The mesh upper moves air through while the kick-back collar adds structure at the heel. The recycled-silica rubber outsole balances durability and light weight.
