Brooks Running Unveils the Glycerin 22 – The Softest Ride Yet

by | Mar 31, 2025 | Gear-Tech

Runners looking for a smooth, cushioned and responsive ride can now experience the latest innovation from Brooks Running: the Glycerin 22. Designed to deliver both plush comfort and responsive performance. The Glycerin 22 features DNA Tuned technology, an advanced midsole technology that seamlessly blends two types of nitrogen-infused foam into one seamlessly-tuned midsole. Softness has never been this powerful.

Cutting-Edge Cushioning for a Balanced Ride

The Glycerin 22 takes comfort to the next level with Brooks’ DNA Tuned technology, which combines two different sizes of nitrogen-infused cells. Larger cells in the heel absorb impact for plush landings, while smaller cells in the forefoot deliver a responsive, powerful toe-off. This dual-foam innovation creates an effortless and natural transition with every step.

The shoe also features a broad platform that enhances stability upon impact. This makes it ideal for runners who seek a supportive yet lightweight feel. The Glycerin 22 is designed to adapt to each phase of a runner’s stride. It ensures a smooth experience whether you’re tackling short daily jogs or long-distance miles.

Enhanced Fit and Supreme Comfort

Beyond its advanced midsole, the Glycerin 22 boasts an engineered double jacquard knit upper that provides a flexible, accommodating fit. The new flatknit heel collar adds to the overall comfort. It delivers a snug ankle fit for a locked-in feel without irritation.
With its combination of adaptive cushioning, a stable platform, and a breathable yet structured upper, the Glycerin 22 is built for runners who prioritise comfort and support on the road. It is available in both a neutral version and the GTS (Go-To-Support) version. This shoe caters to a variety of running styles and preferences.

A Run-For-Ever Feeling

“The Glycerin 22 is built to unlock that ‘run forever’ feeling,” says Gerard Klein. He is the Director of EMEA Merchandising at Brooks Running. “With DNA Tuned technology, we’ve created a shoe that seamlessly integrates softness and responsiveness. This allows runners to move naturally and effortlessly. Whether you’re focused on short daily runs or long-distance miles, this shoe provides the cushioned, distraction-free experience that runners deserve.”

Where to Find the Glycerin 22

The Brooks Glycerin 22 is available at selected Sportsmans Warehouse and Total Sports stores, as well as independent specialist running retailers. It is also available for purchase online at brooksrunning-sa.co.za.
