BROOKS 16: HIGHLIGHTS

To begin with, Brooks maintains the numbers of the Brooks 15, same profiles, same drop, in those numbers we do not see any change, it is still a shoe for those runners who have always been convinced by the Ghost.

The upper, according to Brooks, has changed at this time and in Brooks’ words, “it combines elasticity and structure with perfect breathability”, comfortable and very well adjusted. Made in an improved Air Mesh cover. But yes, always with the great comfort that has characterized the Ghost family. The tongue and ankle collar are well padded and are very comfortable on step-in.

The biggest change we found is in the Midsole, Brooks DNA LOft V3 With the incorporation of Brooks’ DNA Loft V3 injected nitrogen cushioning, already seen in the Glycerin range. According to the brand, this will make us lighter than the previous model, they talk about 10%, and also better energy return. The numbers are the same, 10%

Of course, continue with that 12mm drop, 1is just too high

And the other big change is found in the sole, the new RoadTack rubber. A rubber that should give us greater durability and traction. According to the brand, this new rubber not only gives us greater durability, but also increases its grip, to be able to have safer races on different surfaces. And transitions very smoothly from landing through toe-off.

BROOKS 16: CONCLUSIONS.

It remains one of the iconic sneakers within Brooks, which has its defenders. Shoe for everyday racing, to train continuously, comfortably, and now with better cushioning and more reactivity. It is especially designed for short and medium races, for low-medium weight runners.

Of course, a high drop of 12mm, which many runners will like, especially those who tend to place a lot of heel support. And for that reason, there are also many runners for whom this shoe does not fit anywhere with those profiles.
