👟 Brooks Glycerin Max Review: The Running Shoe Of The Future?​

Our senior editor, Alex Cyr, traveled to New York City to attend the in-person launch of Brooks’ newest running shoe: the Glycerin Max.

Dubbed a “shoe from the future,” the Glycerin Max is big, bouncy, comfortable, a little heavy, and comes with an intriguing promise: no unsteady landings, which are all too common in high-stack sneakers.

Alex had the chance to take the Glycerin Max out for a steamy workout in Central Park. 🏃‍♀️

In this video, he shares his unfiltered thoughts to help you decide if this shoe is right for you.
