Sustainability
Running Responsibly
We are committed to a long-term, science-based approach to sustainability. We know it's time to think bigger about the impact our products and their full life cycle have on people and the planet.
Percentage of recycled content
-
This metric refers to the percentage of material by weight that has been recycled from post- or pre-consumer sources.
Number of plastic bottles
-
Our roadmap to use recycled raw materials initially focuses on post-consumer sources, such as plastic bottles.
-
With help from our suppliers, we calculate the number of plastic bottles used to make a size medium of each product.
Climate action
We are using sound science to address climate change and align our efforts across every level of our business to reduce carbon emissions. This includes product designs, materialization, manufacturing, and our global supply chain.

Support
Choose your support
Your body naturally likes to move in one way. Deviation is how much that movement changes when you go for a run.
Neutral
Low deviators may find that shoes designated "neutral" work best for them.
Support
Runners with high deviation benefit from Brooks' support technologies and may want to look for a shoe designated "support".
You may have deviation if:
- You freqently get the same injury
- You pronate or supinate
- Toes point in or out when you walk
- You feel unstable when you balance on one leg
- Hand pressure increases or decreases when you squat with feet together

Support and speed in a lightweight package
Sometimes more really is better
Increased lightweight cushioning
We've added more BioMoGo DNA cushioning for a dynamically responsive ride.
- Midsole stack height increased by 2mm to provide more responsiveness.
- BioMoGo DNA foam cushioning adapts to your unique gait, weight, and stride to deflect impact away from your body.
- Our cushioning technologies all start with DNA because they react to your unique stride.
Stay in your stride
Smart support
Our innovative technology supports your body in its natural motion path while keeping excess movement in check.
- Did you know support doesn’t just refer to arch support?
- GuideRails® support aids your feet, knees, and hips.
Onto your next stride — quickly
Responsive transitions
Redesigned midsole and Green Rubber Outsole help your foot move quickly from heel to toe.
- Green Rubber earned its name because it's made out of silica instead of petroleum, making it a more sustainable material choice.
Origin stories: the Launch
Famous — or infamous? — for bold colors and eye-catching styles, the Launch was introduced in the spring of 2009 as a lightweight neutral trainer with a little extra softness. The name was inspired by our Hanson’s pro team, who would meet at a boat launch to start workouts around a lakefront path. Despite a brief absence from 2012-2014, the Launch was so loved that in 2015, after a vocal group of runners called for the shoe’s return, we introduced the Launch 2.
The Launch continues to keep runners moving fast and light on their feet, now with the option of support.
