Men's Adrenaline GTS 25
The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 is a reliable, support-focused stability running shoe built for runners who need dependable guidance and cushioning on daily runs and longer efforts. A cornerstone of Brooks’ lineup, the Adrenaline GTS 25 blends smooth, responsive cushioning with the brand’s signature GuideRails™ holistic support system, helping control excess movement without being overly intrusive. With enhanced DNA LOFT v3 foam, balanced geometry, and a comfortable engineered mesh upper, it’s an excellent option for runners seeking structure, comfort, and confidence mile after mile.
Key Features and Technology
Midsole: DNA LOFT v3 Cushioning
The Adrenaline GTS 25 utilizes DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, a nitrogen-infused, soft, resilient foam that provides balanced shock absorption and long-lasting comfort. This updated midsole adds extra cushioning — notably more than the previous version — delivering a smoother, more protected ride while maintaining responsiveness for everyday training and longer runs.
Support System: GuideRails™ Holistic Support
At the heart of the shoe’s stability is GuideRails™ technology, Brooks’ holistic support system. Rather than forcing the foot into a single motion path, GuideRails gently keeps excess movement in check — especially on the medial side — supporting your natural gait cycle and reducing strain not just at the foot, but up through the knee. This approach helps runners who overpronate feel more secure without the overly rigid feel found in some stability shoes.
Upper: Engineered Mesh Upper
The engineered mesh upper offers breathable comfort with a structured, supportive feel. The material balances ventilation with secure lockdown, while the flat knit collar and padded tongue contribute to overall comfort and a snug but adaptable fit. This upper works well for a variety of foot shapes and helps reduce pressure points during longer runs.
Outsole: Durable RoadTack Rubber
The outsole features RoadTack rubber, a durable, all-purpose compound that provides reliable traction on paved surfaces. Rubber is placed strategically in high-wear areas to maximize longevity without adding unnecessary weight, helping keep the shoe durable through many miles of training.
Specifications
Stack Height:
-

It’s particularly well-suited for runners logging regular training miles, long runs, and recovery days where dependable support and comfort are priorities. Its balanced cushioning and smooth ride also make it a good choice for walkers and everyday wear.
