Brooks Men's Athletic Shoes

Which Brooks Men's Athletic Shoes Should You Choose?

Built for running, Brooks Men's Athletic Shoes pair soft foam underfoot with breathable uppers for easy miles, long walks and full days on your feet. The lineup covers plush cushioning, light everyday comfort and added support, and the right pick among Brooks men's shoes depends on how you move.

• Brooks Glycerin 23: Choose this model for a plush ride: DNA Tuned foam uses large cells in the heel and small cells in the forefoot.
• Brooks Ghost 18: Go for this daily trainer when your week is built on easy runs and long walks. DNA LOFT v3 foam, built for light cushioning, runs underfoot.
• Brooks Ghost Max 4: Pick this one when you like the Ghost family and want a higher-stack, max-cushion take on it.
• Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25: Reach for this pair when you want added guidance on every run. The GuideRails support system helps reduce excess motion.

How to Pick the Right Pair of Brooks Running Shoes for Men

Once you know which model family appeals to you, a few practical points narrow the field. See Brooks men's running shoes for training or Brooks sneakers for everyday wear.

• Support type: Decide between neutral and stability first. Guidance shoes like the Adrenaline GTS 25 add support, while neutral shoes keep a smoother cushioned ride, and a fitting or gait check can help you decide.
• Cushioning level: Think about how far and how often you go. Choose a deeper, plusher platform for longer distances and a lighter build for shorter daily outings.
• Surface: Match the outsole to where you train, since grip patterns are built for specific ground.
• Size and width: Running feet swell over distance, so leave a thumb's width of room at the toes. Check the Hibbett size chart and the Brooks size guide before ordering, and look for width options when your feet need more space.

What Are the Brooks Men's Athletic Sneakers Tech Specs?

The foam, the support system and the upper each change how a pair feels.

DNA Tuned Foam in the Men's Glycerin 23

The Glycerin 23 uses DNA Tuned, a nitrogen-infused foam with large cells in the heel and small cells in the forefoot.

DNA LOFT v3 Foam in the Brooks Ghost 18 for Men

The men's Ghost 18 runs on DNA LOFT v3, a nitrogen-infused foam built for light, dynamic cushioning.

GuideRails Support System in the Men's Adrenaline GTS 25

The Adrenaline GTS 25 for men adds the GuideRails support system to help reduce excess motion.

Knit and Mesh Uppers on Brooks Men's Running Shoes

The Glycerin 23 uses a triple jacquard knit upper for a plush, breathable fit, while the Ghost 18 pairs an engineered air mesh upper with a flat-knit tongue.

• Traction: A lugged rubber outsole on the Ghost 18 grips the road.
• Step-in comfort: A cushioned sockliner sits inside the Ghost 18.
• Added cushioning: Brooks added 2 mm more cushioning to the Glycerin 23.
• Breathability: A breathable mesh upper sits on the Adrenaline GTS 25.

What Colorways Do Brooks Men's Athletic Shoes Come In?

Brooks men's athletic shoes fall into two looks. Dark neutrals, black with grey or ebony, run across the Glycerin 23, Ghost Max 4 and Adrenaline GTS 25. Lighter pairs, such as white with navy and orange or a coconut and sand blend on the Glycerin 23, and navy with a gum sole on the Ghost Max 4, give a brighter option.
