A beginning in specialized footwear

Brooks began in a small Philadelphia factory producing ballet slippers and bathing shoes. The products were different from the running footwear associated with the name today, but the early emphasis on making specialized shoes for a specific activity was already present.

Running moves to the center

As distance running gained wider attention during the 1970s, Brooks began narrowing its attention toward the sport. That shift helped shape the long-term direction of Brooks Running Shoes.

The period that followed brought running-specific development and a clearer understanding that runners could need different combinations of cushioning, support, flexibility and fit.

The Adrenaline GTS story begins

The original Adrenaline GTS arrived as Brooks expanded its stability-running selection. The collection went on to become one of the most recognizable names associated with Brooks running footwear.

Later searches for Brooks Adrenaline, Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 and Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 reflect the continuing evolution of that established collection.

A complete commitment to running

At the beginning of the new millennium, Brooks committed its business focus to running. That decision brought footwear development, runner feedback and movement research into a more concentrated direction.

The result is a range of Brooks shoes created for different preferences rather than a single idea of how every runner should move.

Collections for different ways to move

The modern selection includes Brooks sneakers for everyday movement and men's Brooks athletic shoes for running, walking and active routines.

Shoppers can compare established names and newer updates, including Brooks Ghost 16, Brooks Ghost 17, Brooks Ghost Max, Brooks Ghost Max 2, Brooks Glycerin 22, Brooks Glycerin Max and multiple Brooks Adrenaline GTS generations.
