Launch 11

Running doesn’t have to be complicated — and the Brooks Launch 11 brings back the simple joy of fast, fun movement. Light, energetic, and nimble, this trainer takes cues from the Hyperion line to create an accessible speed-ready shoe for tempo runs, intervals, and mixed-use training.

A completely refreshed midsole introduces DNA FLASH, a nitrogen-infused foam that feels lively and responsive underfoot. Amplifying that sensation, a DNA FLASH v2 core in the forefoot delivers even softer, bouncier energy return, making quick turnover feel natural and effortless.

The updated RoadTack outsole provides confident traction and smooth transitions, while the breathable mesh upper ensures secure lockdown without adding weight. A Speed Heel collar offers subtle Achilles comfort, rounding out a fit that stays comfortable whether you’re ripping track reps or dashing through daily speed sessions.

Simple, swift, and surprisingly capable, the Launch 11 is built to elevate faster training days and inject fun into every run.
