Key Features and Technology
Midsole: DNA Tuned Cushioning

The Glycerin Max 2 features Brooks' innovative DNA Tuned midsole, utilizing dual-cell nitrogen-infused cushioning to provide plush landings and energetic toe-offs. Larger nitrogen cells in the heel create exceptionally soft impact absorption, while smaller cells in the forefoot generate a more responsive feel during toe-off. This unique construction delivers one of Brooks' softest and most energetic rides, making every stride feel smooth and efficient.

GlideRoll Rocker Geometry

Brooks' GlideRoll Rocker technology works seamlessly with the high-stack midsole to promote smooth heel-to-toe transitions and effortless forward momentum. The rocker geometry reduces strain on the lower legs while helping runners maintain an efficient stride, making the Glycerin Max 2 ideal for long runs, recovery days, and high-mileage training.

Upper: Triple Jacquard Air Mesh

The updated Triple Jacquard Air Mesh upper provides a breathable, secure, and accommodating fit that adapts naturally to your foot throughout every run. The premium mesh construction delivers excellent ventilation while maintaining a comfortable balance of structure and flexibility. Plush padding around the heel collar and tongue enhances step-in comfort, while the traditional lace system ensures a secure lockdown for confident performance over any distance.

Outsole: RoadTack Rubber Outsole

The Glycerin Max 2 features Brooks' RoadTack Rubber outsole, delivering durable traction and dependable grip on roads and paved surfaces. Strategic rubber placement enhances durability in high-wear areas while maintaining flexibility for smooth transitions and long-lasting performance throughout hundreds of miles.
