Key Features and Technology
Midsole: DNA Tuned Cushioning
The Glycerin 23 features Brooks' innovative DNA Tuned midsole, a next-generation nitrogen-infused foam engineered with dual-sized cell technology to optimize both comfort and responsiveness. Larger nitrogen-infused cells in the heel deliver plush landings and superior impact absorption, while smaller cells in the forefoot create a more responsive toe-off for smoother transitions. The result is Brooks' softest and most adaptive cushioning experience to date, making every stride feel effortless.
Upper: Double Jacquard Mesh
The premium Double Jacquard Mesh upper provides a soft, breathable, and adaptive fit that comfortably wraps the foot while allowing excellent airflow. The engineered mesh construction delivers a secure fit without restricting movement, while plush padding around the heel collar and tongue enhances step-in comfort. The upper is designed to provide a luxurious feel that remains comfortable throughout long runs and all-day wear.
Outsole: RoadTack Rubber Outsole
The RoadTack Rubber outsole combines lightweight durability with dependable traction for road running and everyday use. Strategic flex grooves encourage smooth heel-to-toe transitions while maintaining flexibility, and the durable rubber compound provides long-lasting grip and wear resistance across high-mileage training.
Specifications
Stack Height:
Men's Model: 38mm heel / 30mm forefoot
Women's Model: 38mm heel / 30mm forefoot
The high stack height provides maximum cushioning for a soft, protective ride while maintaining stability and smooth transitions. The generous amount of foam effectively absorbs impact, helping reduce fatigue during long runs and extended periods on your feet.
Offset (Drop):
Men's & Women's Models: 8mm drop (heel-to-toe offset)
The 8mm heel-to-toe drop promotes smooth forward transitions while providing ample cushioning for a wide variety of foot strikes. The geometry creates an efficient stride without compromising comfort.
Weight:
Men's Model: 10.6 oz (300g) for a size 9
Women's Model: 9.6 oz (272g) for a size 7
Despite its highly cushioned platform, the Glycerin 23 maintains a relatively lightweight feel that makes it ideal for daily training, recovery runs, long-distance efforts, and walking. Its balanced design delivers premium softness without feeling overly bulky.
