Overview

Not a max-stack cruiser, this Brooks Anthem colorway is listed with moderate cushioning and a breathable nylon upper for road and treadmill runs. Neutral support and a rubber outsole keep it simple and versatile.

Moderate cushioning gives more ground feel than plush trainers, which some runners prefer for faster or shorter efforts. The listing shows no weight, drop or included extras.

Who it's for

Gym goers and road runners who like a firmer, more connected feel will find it suits them. Those seeking maximum softness for long recovery runs should look at a plusher model.
