Brooks
Glycerin Max 2
Brooks' tallest, softest road shoe, built on a thick slab of DNA Tuned foam with a rocker. A comfortable cruiser for slow miles, but heavy and short on rebound.
What's new: Switches to a much softer DNA Tuned foam with better forefoot shock absorption and adds reflective details, but is heavier than the first Glycerin Max.
