About the Adrenaline GTS 26

Structured support with just-right cushioning is how Brooks describes the Adrenaline GTS 26, its everyday road stability shoe for daily runs, long runs and walking. Support comes from GuideRails, which the brand says work with the cushioning to manage excess movement without a traditional medial post. Underfoot is DNA Loft v3, a nitrogen-infused foam that is also used in the neutral Ghost 18.

Replacing the Adrenaline GTS 25, this version keeps the support system, the cushioning and the 10 mm drop, and changes the upper: an engineered double-jacquard air mesh, a soft flat-knit tongue designed to reduce bulk, and a flat-knit collar with a heel loop for easier on and off. It weighs 306 g in a men's UK 8.5, with wide and extra-wide fits alongside the standard width. The Glycerin GTS 23 is the more cushioned GuideRails alternative.
