Brooks Levitate

Without losing the perspective of theRun Signature" concept, Brooks Running puts all its development, research and testing in order to offer the best running experience to the runner. So far nothing new, or at least nothing that has not been seen to date, but it is true that the sloganRun Happy" that the American firm promotes so much encompasses the need of every runner to not stop running, because if we had to stay with one of the benefits that brings the pleasure of running would be none other than that it improves our own welfare, since it increases optimism, and multiplies the feeling of happiness. And for all this, and with a well-defined roadmap, Brooks Running is betting on a new model that is called to mark a before and after in the house of the American manufacturer: Brooks Levitate.

No, no, you won't get to levitate, but you'll be close to having that feeling, because the innovative Brooks Levitate ensures maximum cushioning with the highest energy output that a running shoe can offer, and therefore superior responsiveness. Adding to the overall exceptional comfort to tackle any distance you want to run.

Innovative cushioning system

With all this, the key to the success of the new Brooks Running lies in its most advanced compound to date: DNA AMP, which is incorporated in its midsole, providing elasticity and the ultimate energy return, as confirmed by the U.S. firm itself. So, the step forward is to design this daily training shoe for neutral runners, maximizing the runner's experience with unparalleled performance.

The new DNA AMP material is the result of a collaboration between Brooks Running and the petrochemical company BASF. This is not surprising, because Adidas Running has also made great use of its revolutionary BOOST technology, also with the help of this German group.

The DNA AMP engineering compound implements a polyurethane foam in a TPU liner, so the model is able to return more energy in proportion to the force applied by the runner in each stride. The unprecedented cushioning and responsive feel is absolute in every kilometer of training.

Intuitive fit and faster transition

Overall, the Brooks Levitate running shoe is not just about cushioning and energy return, because the Brooks Levitate also features an upper with the exclusive FitKnit technology, which contributes to a more comfortable and snug fit, adapting to every natural movement, and also when it expands. In addition to offering that precise fit, it also provides a high level of breathability where you need it most.

On the other hand, the sole of the Brooks Levitate incorporates a very particular pattern, in the shape of an arrow, and through which more flexibility is achieved, favoring a quick transition in the midfoot area of the shoe. This means that the model is able to transmit power from the heel to the forefoot without losing energy.

The specifications of the Brooks Levitate feature a drop of 8 millimeters, and weights of approximately 318 grams in the men's version, and about 275 grams in the women's version. In the absence of a more detailed review, the first look at the Brooks Levitate has been more than positive in Runnea, where we highlight cushioning, responsiveness, comfort and breathability, as well as design with that "gallic" chrome touch of its midsole.
