Brooks Glycerin 17

Here we bring you the top of the range in neutral cushioning Brooks Glycerin 17 for this 2019/2020.

The best-selling shoe of the American brand does not present very radical changes with respect to the Brooks Glycerin 16, a reference for neutral runners, and as a training shoe option for long runs.

That is, the Brooks Glycerin 17 maintains that cushioning capacity with the DNA Loft compound to achieve more softness, dynamism and responsiveness, as well as a longer lifespan of the model.

What are the strengths of the Brooks Glycerin 17?

The main changes of these new Brooks Glycerin 17 are located in its upper, which is completely renewed with the implementation of Jacquard knit fabric, which brings breathability, comfort and elegance to the whole shoe.

All in all, this seventeenth edition of the iconic Brooks Running Glycerin focuses all its strengths in the following sections:

Ultra-soft cushioning with more and better cushioned transitions.

All this thanks to the inclusion of its star component as the DNA LOFT foam, through which these top of the range cushioning are able to provide a soft and comfortable feel, from toe to heel, and not have to give up optimal reactivity and durability. And with the addition of OrthoLite sockliner, the comfort feel is superior from the first to the last stride.

Improved and more adaptable upper fit

Another new feature of the Brooks Glycerin 17 is the renovation of its upper, since, this time, the designers of the American firm have resorted to 3D Fit Print technology and a more elastic inner liner to offer a fit that adapts better to the movements of the foot.

On the other hand, they have also opted to include a double mesh Jacquard fabric, which translates into a higher degree of breathability and flexibility where it is most needed.

IDEL Pressure Zones

More significant details are found in the outsole with the IDEAL Pressure Zones, whose mission is to run without effort, as they move the impact away from the body, distributing the pressure evenly between the heel, midfoot and forefoot.

Not forgetting the characteristic Blown Rubber blown rubber, inserted in the forefoot area, and thus the model gains in flexibility, durability and responsiveness.
