Brooks Glycerin Max 2 Men’s Running Shoes
The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 Men’s Running Shoes are men's neutral road running shoes built for runners who want maximum cushioning, smooth transitions and lasting comfort over long distances. Designed for daily training and high kilometre weeks, they combine dual cell DNA TUNED cushioning, GlideRoll Rocker technology and a high stack midsole to help make every stride feel softer and more efficient. Finished in Bright White / Black / Night, they are an excellent choice for runners who prioritise comfort without sacrificing a responsive ride.
The Glycerin Max 2 uses dual cell DNA TUNED cushioning to create a balanced ride from heel strike through to toe off. Larger cushioning cells in the heel absorb impact and deliver soft, airy landings, while smaller cells in the forefoot provide a more responsive feel that helps generate an energetic push off.
Working alongside the cushioning is GlideRoll Rocker technology. Featuring a sculpted bevel and toe spring, it encourages a smooth heel to toe transition, helping your stride flow naturally while reducing the effort needed to maintain your running rhythm over longer distances.
The shoe's high stack height places a substantial amount of cushioning beneath your feet, helping absorb repeated impact throughout your run. This makes the Glycerin Max 2 particularly well suited to runners who value comfort during daily training, recovery runs and long road kilometres.
Despite its highly cushioned design, the Glycerin Max 2 maintains a responsive underfoot feel, allowing runners to enjoy soft landings without feeling disconnected from their stride. It is designed to keep you comfortable so you can focus on the run ahead rather than the road beneath your feet.
Who is the Glycerin Max 2 best for?
The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 is best suited to neutral runners looking for maximum cushioning and smooth transitions during daily road running. It is an excellent choice for long training runs, recovery sessions and runners who spend a lot of time on hard road surfaces.
