Brooks Glycerin Max Black

First, the Brooks Glycerin Max Black is the Brooks Glycerin Max in Black — the max-cushion daily trainer for runners who understand that long run quality depends on how well the body is protected across training weeks. DNA LOFT v3 foam, every mile.

Moreover, the Glycerin Max delivers consistent cushioning that keeps runners on the road through demanding marathon preparation blocks — protecting legs without sacrificing the responsiveness that makes training feel productive.

DNA LOFT v3: Plush Cushioning That Holds Across Training Blocks

DNA LOFT v3 foam provides maximum cushioning that adapts to the runner's stride while maintaining its properties across repeated use — a critical advantage over foams that compress permanently over high mileage. The Glycerin Max delivers this consistency on every run, from the first easy day of a training block to the final long run before race day.

Engineered mesh upper: breathable and comfortable. Full-length rubber outsole. 278 g. 10 mm drop. 35 mm heel stack. The max-cushion workhorse for marathon preparation.

For Who?
