This shoe is built around a thick block of DNA Tuned midsole foam, a nitrogen-infused compound that features larger gas bubbles in the heel and smaller bubbles in the forefoot. This “tuned” design makes the foam softer at the heel for a cushioned landing, and firmer and more responsive at the forefoot for springy toe-offs. To make the massive sole more manageable, Brooks gave the Glycerin Max 2 a pronounced rocker shape for smooth transitions. Finally, it’s finished with a thick, well-padded upper for a comfy fit.Testers really appreciated the Glycerin Max’s plush, supportive ride when they wanted to take things slow. “When my legs were tired and ready for an easy run, these shoes are a go-to,” said tester Craig Wallace. Tester Matthew Fronheiser agreed, and in addition to the underfoot cushioning, he also noted the padded, snug-fitting upper “seriously rocks.” And in her review, RW Editor Jamie Sorcher said the Glycerin Max “motivated me to add that extra mile rather than cut things short and head for home.”This shoe is selling fast at Brooks, and many size-colorway combos are already sold out.
