BROOKS LAUNCH 12 WOMEN'S FW 2026

The Brooks Launch 12 is a lightweight, responsive running shoe designed for those who want to push the pace day after day. Ideal for the neutral runner looking for a dynamic tool for daily runs, mid-distance training, and faster sessions, they offer a smooth and snappy ride with a natural, immediate propulsive feel with every step. A well-calibrated balance of lightness, energy, and comfort for a versatile shoe that is always ready to pick up the pace.

The midsole utilizes nitrogen-infused DNA FLASH foam, which combines lightweight cushioning with responsiveness: the DNA FLASH absorbs impact in the rear, while the DNA FLASH v2 insert in the forefoot provides a more energetic push and a lively energy return. The Segmented Crash Pad facilitates an efficient transition from heel to toe, kilometer after kilometer, for a quick and natural stride.

The lightweight and breathable engineered mesh upper wraps the foot in a secure and highly ventilated fit, ensuring comfort even on longer runs or in warm weather, with a padded collar that reduces the risk of chafing. The RoadTack rubber outsole ensures reliable grip and traction on asphalt, for secure take-offs and landings even at faster paces.
