SHOE UPDATE: Brooks Levitate 2 Cushioned Running Shoe

The newest version of the Brooks Levitate has hit our stores to rave reviews! This shoe debuted last summer as a high-cushioned neutral addition to the Brooks product line – with some funky new tech. Brooks has made some adjustments in version 2 of this shoe to give us an even smoother, more comfortable ride. Here’s what we love about it:

ENERGIZED CUSHIONING

Brooks Levitate 2 - Energized Cushioning Running Shoes

DNA AMP cushioning does more than just look cool. It actually returns energy, making you feel springier on your run! Here’s how it works: your bouncy cushioned foam is encased in a TPU skin (the silver part of the shoe you see here). So the kinetic energy that is generated when you run only has one place to escape – back up through your legs (because the TPU skin keeps it from escaping out the sides).

FITKNIT UPPER

Part of what makes this shoe so comfortable is the improvements that Brooks has made to the mesh upper. The mesh feels like a cozy sock thanks to this great heel wrap and heel tab.

The Brooks Levitate 2 ($150) is available at select Marathon Sports locations and at marathonsports.com.
