Brooks unveils the Adrenaline GTS 25, built for stable, comfortable everyday miles

Since 1999, one shoe has embodied Brooks’ approach to running: a reliable, accessible model designed to help runners log everyday miles comfortably and confidently. That shoe is the Adrenaline GTS. A true bestseller for the American brand, now more than twenty versions strong, it has built its reputation around one quality that matters to runners: stability. Twenty-six years on, Brooks has unveiled a new iteration of its iconic model: the Adrenaline GTS 25. It delivers the same dependable support while staying true to the shoe’s DNA. Softer cushioning, smoother transitions and smarter guidance: Brooks has not reinvented the formula, but it has refined every part of it.

Adrenaline GTS: a cult classic shaped by millions of miles

To understand the significance of this release, it helps to look back at the history of the line. The Adrenaline GTS was born from a simple need: to provide non-intrusive stability that guides the stride without restricting it. That philosophy reached a turning point in 2018 with the introduction of GuideRails, a lateral support system designed to let the body move naturally while limiting excessive joint motion. Today, it has become the defining feature of the line.

This biomechanical approach puts the runner first. The Adrenaline GTS does not try to correct the stride; it guides, supports and reassures. Version 25 continues that evolution, refining everything that has made the model successful.

With the Adrenaline GTS 25, we have perfected a trusted model, delivering the ideal balance of support and cushioning that runners have come to rely on. It is the next step in our commitment to making every run feel effortless.

Brooks unveils the Adrenaline GTS 25, the latest version of its iconic model, combining DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, GuideRails® stability and an updated fit. A reliable, versatile shoe for everyday runs and long outings. Available from December 1 at €160.

Softer, livelier, smoother DNA LOFT v3 cushioning

At the heart of the new model is DNA LOFT v3, a nitrogen-infused EVA foam known for its softness and responsiveness. As comfort continues to take centre stage, Brooks has added 3 mm of cushioning under the forefoot and 1 mm under the heel, creating smoother transitions and greater protection over longer distances. The goal is clear: to help runners stack up the miles in greater comfort. Whether it is used for everyday runs or longer outings, this pair should prove a dependable companion.

GuideRails: smart support without restriction

The Adrenaline GTS has built its reputation over several generations on the strength of its GuideRails support system, which remains in place here. It takes a holistic approach to support: rather than acting only beneath the foot, it helps stabilise the entire movement by limiting excessive rotation at the knee or ankle while allowing the natural stride to do its job. The Adrenaline GTS 25 is designed for runners who want dependable support through the forefoot, midfoot and heel. Over the long term, that can help reduce the risk of injury.

Product testers agree: “I could feel it adapting properly to my forefoot, midfoot and heel... it provided plenty of comfort and support and seemed to help limit injuries.”

A redesigned upper for better breathability and precision

The engineered mesh upper improves breathability and lockdown, with a more dependable, precise fit. The heel and midfoot have also been adjusted to provide a stable fit across a wide range of foot shapes. Brooks says the result is a confidence-inspiring model, with improved comfort compared with the GTS 24.
