Brooks’ Upgraded Y2K Retro Running Shoe With Performance Tech Is Available Now in New Colorways

Brooks Running, the performance brand best known for its podiatrist-approved shoes and cutting-edge running tech, is beginning to make a name for itself in the lifestyle footwear space thanks to timely collaborations and on-trend reissues from the 2000s and 1970s. The former category includes the Adrenaline GTS 10, a model from 2009 which received its first-ever reissue in February. After introducing several new colorways since, a fresh duo of looks has just been released for October.

The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10 is available now in new Pickled Beet/Peat Moss/Sand and Sky Blue/White Asparagus/Gray color combinations. The Pickled Beet look combines a purple synthetic-and-mesh upper with orange and green accents, making it one of the more colorful looks for the retro sneaker so far. Meanwhile, the Sky Blue offering features a light blue upper that’s contrasted with off-white and gray for a fitting fall-to-winter transitional look.

Despite their on-trend Y2K aesthetic, the standout feature of the Adrenaline GTS 10 is one of its more subtle, under-the-hood upgrades. Rather than simply re-create the original model from 2009, Brooks sought to modernize the shoe’s cushioning and comfort through the addition of dual-density nitrogen-infused DNA Tuned foam in the midsole. The same cushioning is used in many of the brand’s performance sneakers including the Glycerin Max 2 and Glycerin GTS 23.

During its first quarter earnings call in May, Brooks touted the success of the Adrenaline GTS 10 and its lifestyle line, stating that they “helped fuel a more than double year-over-year increase in the category.” And in August, the Seattle-based sportswear company announced a record second quarter.

The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10 is available now in its new Pickled Beet and Sky Blue colorways from brooksrunning.com and select retailers for $170 each.
