Brooks Launch running shoes: lightweight speed for experienced runners
Brooks Launch running shoes are made for runners who enjoy training at pace or want to run a fast race. Thanks to their lightweight construction and responsive cushioning, they feel energetic with every step. The shoe has a neutral stride, which is ideal for those who don't need extra support. The Launch is popular among experienced runners who know what they’re looking for: speed, direct contact with the ground and reliable quality. With a sleek design and purpose-driven technology, Brooks Launch is a favorite for fast miles in training or on race day.
Key features of the Brooks Launch
One of the standout features of the Brooks Launch is the BioMoGo DNA cushioning material in the midsole. This cushioning adapts to your stride rate, weight and running style, keeping every run smooth and controlled. At the same time, the sole is resilient enough to give you an energetic toe-off, making it ideal for tempo runs or races.
The shoe weighs around 235 grams, making it feel almost weightless. That light sensation is enhanced by the breathable mesh upper, which provides ventilation and a snug fit. The Speed Heel is designed to reduce pressure on your Achilles tendon and prevent blisters, so you can keep running without interruptions. The outsole features Green Rubber, which offers extra grip on various surfaces while also being durable. The 10 mm drop, with a heel height of 34 mm and a forefoot height of 24 mm, provides slightly more cushioning upon landing without compromising the responsive feel.
Who are Brooks Launch running shoes suitable for?
Brooks Launch is perfect for runners looking for speed, precision and a lightweight feel underfoot. The focus is on direct feedback from the ground, something that experienced runners truly appreciate. For those who have already built up some mileage and are training for fast distances or tough tempo runs, this is a reliable partner.
Due to the relatively limited cushioning, the Launch is less suitable for beginners or runners who need extra support. Do you have narrower feet? Then this model often offers a secure and comfortable fit without needing adjustments. There’s also a Launch GTS variant for those who need light support. Runners seeking softer cushioning might prefer models like the Brooks Ghost or Glycerin.
