The Glycerin GTS 22, a product of Brooks, traces its lineage back to the 2013 debut of the Transcend line, which pioneered the Guide Rail stability system. The evolution continued in 2021 when the Transcend series was rebranded as the Glycerin GTS. This iteration, the GTS 22, serves as a reverent homage to the initial Transcend model, showcasing a legacy of innovation.
The Glycerin GTS 22 is engineered for moderate to high stability, making it a premium daily training shoe. It is perfectly suited for max-cushion road running, daily training sessions, extended runs, and recovery runs. This model is exceptionally well-suited for runners requiring additional stability, specifically those who overpronate, providing both comfort and support during various activities.
The Glycerin GTS 22, as a member of the Brooks lineage, has garnered significant attention within the running community. Its design and functionality reflect the values championed by the APMA, resulting in the APMA Seal of Acceptance. The shoe's prominence was further solidified when it received recognition in the Runner's World 2025 Shoe Awards, a testament to its impact on the industry. This model continues to influence the market, setting standards for stability and comfort in running footwear.
This model features an engineered double jacquard knit upper, providing a flexible and adaptable fit, enhanced by a plush heel collar, a stretchable heel tab, and a padded, un-gusseted tongue. The midsole incorporates DNA Tuned nitrogen-infused foam, utilizing dual-size cell technology, with larger cells in the heel for softer landings and smaller cells in the forefoot for responsive toe-offs. The outsole is constructed of durable rubber designed for reliable road traction.
