Nitrogen-Infused DNA LOFT v3

This innovative approach maintains durability without compromising on the plush and weightless feel, whether you are running, walking or standing on your feet all day.
Enhanced Cushioning in Every Step
With an additional 2mm of DNA LOFT v3 foam beneath your feet, the Glycerin 21 provides an extra layer of cushioning, elevating this mid-stack, max cushion trainer to new heights. Built on a broad platform, the extremely soft cushion is stabilized ensuring a smooth and seamless transition in every stride. Brooks also introduces the all-new road tack outsole, adding a lightweight and durable traction to the Glycerin series.
New Warp Knit Upper
The Glycerin 21 showcases an innovative engineered warp knit upper. This breathable design not only promotes airflow but also ensures a flexible, accommodating fit that remains gentle against your foot throughout your run.
WHAT OUR ELITE TESTERS SAY:
“The Brooks Glycerin 21 is a go-to neutral high mileage runner. Up from the Glycerin 20, the 21 has a 2mm higher stack going from a 26:16 to 28:18 midsole height. The 10mm drop might be most suited to the heel striker, however it still feels smooth for a more frontwards runner. The nitrogen infused DNA loft v3 material in the midsole provides an incredibly soft landing that transitions easily to takeoff. The upper is a fine breathable mesh that conforms nicely to the foot without constraint. The heel collar and tongue are well padded adding to the plush feel. The 21’s exceptional cushioning has decent resiliency, feeling as delightful out of the box as 400km up the road.”

“The Brooks Glycerin 21 is your affordable neutral work horse that boasts a wide forefoot and comfortable upper. This high stack height shoe provides cushioning that is soft on impact loading but quick to bounce back making the overall sensation responsive not mushy. With a 10mm drop and comfortable lacing system, this foot hugger is made for longer distance runs on the road with ample traction. The shoes feel and look great with a nice firm but comfortable heel cup and is true to size.”
