Details

The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 elevates max-cushion running with a deeply protective platform and effortless forward flow, designed to soften impact and keep long miles feeling smooth and controlled. Built for recovery runs, high-volume training, and all-day comfort, this towering trainer prioritizes leg preservation without sacrificing responsiveness. Every detail is tuned to help you settle into a relaxed rhythm and stay there.


At the heart of the ride is the updated DNA Tuned midsole, a nitrogen-infused supercritical foam engineered with dual-cell technology. Larger cells in the heel deliver plush, forgiving landings, while smaller, denser cells in the forefoot create a snappier, more energetic toe-off. Paired with GlideRoll Rocker geometry—including a beveled heel and sculpted toe spring—the shoe promotes a smooth heel-to-toe roll that reduces ankle strain and maintains steady momentum over long distances.


Up top, a new triple jacquard air mesh upper enhances step-in comfort while offering adaptable midfoot support for a secure yet relaxed fit. Plush, smooth, and unapologetically cushioned, the Glycerin Max 2 is built to help you cruise comfortably and let the miles fade beneath your feet.



MIDSOLE

  • DNA Tuned is supercritical nitrogen-infused foam that blends plushness and responsiveness, with expertly tuned cell size differences under the heel compared to the forefoot.
  • GlideRoll™ Rocker shape incorporates a beveled heel and a curved toe spring, reducing muscular strain at the ankle joint.


OUTSOLE

  • Durable rubber compound provides generous coverage and reliable traction without excess weight.


UPPER

  • Triple jacquard air mesh delivers plush comfort, breathability, and adaptable support through the midfoot for a dialed-in fit.
