Brooks Running is not losing any ground, and is not overlooking major sporting events. At the end of last March, in Runnea we already announced that, for the summer (from July 1), the new Brooks Glycerin 14 model will have a special edition in honor of the Valencia Trinidad Alfonso Marathon 2016, which will take place on November 20. And for this occasion, this top-of-the-range model of the North American firm will present a one hundred percent Mediterranean design and aesthetics, while maintaining all the features of this running shoe that has been renewed but without radical changes.

But Brooks Running has prepared another new good one for us. As one of the main sponsors of the next European Athletics Championships, which will be held in the city of Amsterdam from July 6 to 10, Brooks Running will launch another new running shoe with a special design for Europe's top athletics event.

Multiple references to the city of Amsterdam

With this premise, the limited edition Brooks Amsterdam Launch 3 will see the light of day. This model has clear references to the official capital of the Netherlands, inspired by the web of canals of the Dutch capital, and also reproducing the most characteristic shades of this nation, such as orange, red, white and blue. Another significant detail is found in its insole, which features the image of the city's iconic canal houses. The finishing touch to these Amsterdam-inspired Running shoes is formed by the city's emblem and the three St. Andrew's crosses, drawn on the heel and at the end of the laces.

The special edition Amsterdam Launch 3 is limited to six thousand pairs that are already on sale with a price of 130€ at brooksrunning.eu.

"Our goal in creating the limited edition Brooks Amsterdam Launch 3 shoe era commemorate the 2016 European Athletics Championships in a unique way by highlighting the iconic beauty of Amsterdam," says Shane Downey, Global Director of Brooks Running. "The entire shoe is covered with the image of the capital's complex network of canals in orange as a symbol of the nation's spirit. We hope this shoe will serve to highlight the beauty of Amsterdam and the dynamic character of its people and culture."

More cushioned and adaptable running

The Brooks Amsterdam Launch 3 running shoe is exceptionally lightweight and features BioMoGo DNA, Brooks ' unique cushioning technology that offers a more cushioned and adaptive run for every runner. This innovative cushioning system is also present in iconic models of the American brand: Brooks Ghost 8, Brooks Glycerin 14 and Brooks Ravenna 7. The mesh upper ensures maximum ventilation and moisture wicking to keep the foot cool and dry at all times.

These comfortable, all-purpose shoes are an excellent choice for both short and long distances, always with paved surfaces in mind.
