Brooks Glycerin Flex — Now Available at Runners Plus

If you love soft cushioning but hate feeling stiff, the all-new Brooks Glycerin Flex was made for you. This neutral daily trainer blends plush comfort with a natural, flexible ride — so your run feels smooth instead of forced.

The new Brooks Glycerin Flex has a strategically segmented midsole that works
as an extension of your body.  Made to move with you.


A Flexible Take on Premium Cushioning

The Glycerin line has always been known for comfort. The Glycerin Flex keeps that signature feel and adds something runners have been asking for — freedom of movement.

Instead of a rigid, marshmallow-soft ride, this shoe adapts to how you run. Easy miles feel effortless, long runs feel smoother, and transitions feel more natural.


Upper: Comfortable and Breathable

A new engineered flat-knit upper wraps the foot without locking it in place.

  • Breathable and soft against the skin

  • Moves with your stride instead of restricting it

  • Secure but relaxed fit for daily mileage

This is the kind of upper you forget about — which is exactly what you want on longer runs.


Midsole & Outsole: Soft Landings, Responsive Toe-Offs

The magic of the Glycerin Flex lives underfoot.

DNA Tuned Cushioning

Nitrogen-infused DNA Tuned foam adapts throughout the shoe:

  • Larger cells in the heel → soft landings

  • Smaller cells in the forefoot → responsive push-off

So instead of sinking, you compress and rebound.

Designed to Flex Naturally

Brooks reworked the platform so it bends where your foot bends:

  • Asymmetrical midfoot flex groove for smooth transitions

  • Podular lateral forefoot flexibility for stability and movement

Result: cushion + mobility, not cushion or mobility.
