Brooks Running has announced the release of the Glycerin 22, a running shoe designed to provide a plush, responsive ride for those who crave effortless comfort. The Glycerin 22 features Brooks’ latest innovation, DNA Tuned technology, which combines dual-size nitrogen-infused cells for soft landings and smooth, powerful toe-offs. Built for runners seeking a distraction-free experience, the Glycerin 22 ensures every step feels natural, fluid and supported.
Smooth, Stable Transitions and Cushioning
The Glycerin 22 takes Brooks’ commitment to comfort and performance to new heights with DNA Tuned, an advanced midsole technology that seamlessly blends two types of nitrogen-infused foam – the same technology that is featured on the Glycerin Max. Larger cells in the heel provide plush landings, while smaller cells in the forefoot ensure responsive toe-offs. This gives runners a smooth transition from heel to toe. This combination delivers a perfectly balanced ride for runners who seek stability and softness in one seamless package.

Key Features
The Glycerin 22 features DNA Tuned cushioning, engineered with dual-size cell technology that adapts to each phase of your stride. Designed for smooth and stable transitions, it incorporates a broad platform to stabilise the foot on impact and a tuned heel and forefoot for a natural heel-to-toe transition. The engineered double jacquard knit upper enhances comfort and breathability. This delivers a flexible fit that moves with your foot while maintaining structure and support. Adding to its innovation, the new flatknit heel collar provides a supreme ankle fit, ensuring a secure and plush feel with every step.
