Brooks Glycerin Max 2 - Dual-Cell Cushioning for Maximum Protection

The Glycerin Max 2 is engineered for runners who want maximum softness, maximum energy, and maximum cushioning. Built around dual-cell DNA TUNED foam optimised for soft landings and powerful toe-offs, this shoe combines boundary-pushing stack height with GlideRoll Rocker technology for fluid step-through. Designed to leave legs feeling fresh, the Glycerin Max 2 provides the protection needed for high-mileage training on hard surfaces.

Nitrogen-Infused DNA TUNED Foam with Dual-Cell Construction

DNA TUNED foam uses nitrogen-infused construction with large cells in the heel for airy landings and small cells in the forefoot for powerful toe-offs. This dual-cell design creates expertly tuned cushioning within a single, seamlessly integrated midsole — no added layers, just one foam compound engineered to provide different characteristics where they're needed most. The large heel cells compress easily to absorb impact during landing, whilst the smaller forefoot cells provide the firmness needed for responsive toe-off.

GlideRoll™ Rocker for Effortless Transitions

GlideRoll™ Rocker technology features sculpted bevel and toe spring geometries to help your foot move easily from heel to toe. This rocker design encourages smooth, efficient transitions without requiring conscious effort, allowing you to tune out and focus on the run itself. The geometry works particularly well in a max-cushioned platform, maintaining natural motion despite the generous stack height.

Stacked to the Max for Impact Protection

The Glycerin Max 2 is stacked with a boundary-pushing amount of cushioning designed to protect your body from impact. This maximum stack height helps leave legs feeling fresh across extended efforts, particularly valuable during high-mileage training blocks or when running regularly on hard surfaces where impact accumulates. The generous cushioning platform provides protection without feeling sluggish or disconnected from the road.

Is the Glycerin Max 2 Right for You?

The Glycerin Max 2 is built for runners who prioritise maximum cushioning and want legs to feel fresh across high training volume. If you log serious weekly mileage, run regularly on hard surfaces where impact accumulates, or simply prefer the feeling of generous cushioning beneath you, the boundary-pushing stack height delivers exactly that. The dual-cell DNA TUNED foam provides the soft landings that protect joints whilst maintaining the responsive toe-off needed to keep the ride feeling lively rather than dead. It's particularly well-suited for runners building towards marathons or long-distance events, those recovering from injury who need extra protection, or anyone who's found less-cushioned shoes leave their legs feeling beaten up. The GlideRoll™ Rocker helps maintain efficient transitions despite the maximum stack, making this suitable for runners who want serious protection without sacrificing natural motion.
