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

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):

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.
