This top of the range training shoe in cushioning for pronator runners from the manufacturer of Sattle suggests that there will be few changes in its fifth release, but that does not mean that the Brooks Transcend 5 will not incorporate notable improvements with the intention of maintaining the same essence but with updated details. That is, as an iconic Brooks Running model, the Transcend 5 will not touch the section of offering maximum support, but neither will it change its cushioning capacity.
With all this, the new Brooks Transcend 5 features a redesign of its upper. Thus, the bet is to reduce to the maximum the number of seams and sewn overlays, which will be replaced by the 3D Fit Print thermosealing system, through which a lighter fit is achieved, but also contributes to the pronator runner to enjoy a more efficient race.
Another important update of the Brooks Transcend 5 is located in the improvement of the Guide Rails, which contribute to a more dynamic and holistic support to guide the stride at all times. But this innovation is also capable of minimizing rotation in both the shin and heel areas. Thanks to the slight modification of the Guide Rails, the Transcend 5 also controls excess knee movement, making for a more comfortable and safer run to improve the runner's performance.
In addition, the unique IDEAL stability platform is incorporated into the pressure zones to disperse impact to reduce stress on the joints. An aspect to take into account in the Brooks Transcende 5 because it translates into smoother and lighter transitions.
In addition, the reinforced stability in the rear of the fifth installment of the Brooks Running Transcend comes from the external heel counter, which works effectively to prevent excessive heel rotation.
Of course, its extraordinary cushioning capacity cannot be left out, and as in previous editions, the Brooks Transcend 5 also features the Super DNA compound, which favors a more adaptive stride.
The weight of the Brooks Transcend 5 remains unchanged at 306 grams for the men's model, and 258 grams for the women's version; and also without changing its 8-millimeterdrop, which makes it an ideal option for daily workouts at rather easy paces, which can be above 4:30 minutes per kilometer.
Once again, Brooks Running is committed to offering its most advanced support to meet the needs of the runner who pronates from the first to the last kilometer.
