Brooks unveils the Adrenaline GTS 25: stability and comfort for everyday runs
Since 1999, one shoe has embodied Brooks’ vision better than any other: delivering a reliable, accessible model designed to help runners log miles comfortably and confidently. That shoe is the Adrenaline GTS. A true bestseller for the American brand, now more than twenty versions in, built on a hallmark that matters to countless runners: stability. Twenty-six years later, Brooks introduces the newest evolution of its iconic model: the Adrenaline GTS 25 — a shoe that keeps its DNA intact while making everything softer, smoother and more supportive.
| Adrenaline GTS: a cult franchise, shaped by millions of miles
To understand the weight of this release, it’s worth looking back at the story behind the line. The Adrenaline GTS was created to address a simple need: providing non-intrusive stability that guides the stride without restricting it. This philosophy reached a turning point in 2018 with the introduction of GuideRails — a lateral support system designed to let the body move naturally while reducing excessive joint rotation. Today, this concept has become the signature of the entire franchise.
This biomechanical approach puts the runner first. The Adrenaline GTS doesn’t try to correct your stride; it simply supports and secures it. The 25th version continues this evolution by refining everything that has always made the model so strong.
“With the Adrenaline GTS 25, we refined a trusted model, offering the perfect balance of support and cushioning that runners have come to rely on. This is the next step in our commitment to making every run feel effortless.”
Gerard Klein, Footwear Merchandising Director, Brooks EMEA
| A softer, smoother, more responsive DNA LOFT v3 cushioning
At the heart of this new version is the DNA LOFT v3 midsole — Brooks’ nitrogen-infused EVA foam known for its softness and responsiveness. In line with runners’ growing demand for comfort, Brooks adds 3 mm of extra cushioning in the forefoot and 1 mm in the heel, improving transitions and long-distance protection.
The goal is clear: help runners accumulate miles with more ease, whether on daily runs or longer outings.
| GuideRails: smart support without restriction
The true strength of the Adrenaline GTS franchise lies in its GuideRails system, still central in this update. This is what Brooks calls holistic support: instead of working only under the foot, it stabilizes the overall movement by limiting excessive rotation of the knee and ankle — while still allowing the runner’s natural stride to do its job.
The Adrenaline GTS 25 is designed for runners needing reliable support at the forefoot, midfoot and heel. It remains an excellent option to help reduce long-term injury risk.
Product testers confirm it:
“I felt supported at the forefoot, midfoot and heel… providing great comfort, support, and reducing injury risk.”
| A redesigned upper for more breathability and precision
The engineered mesh gains breathability and structural control while offering a more precise, secure fit. The heel and midfoot have also been fine-tuned to deliver stable lockdown across a wide variety of foot shapes. Brooks states that this version delivers improved comfort compared to the GTS 24.
