The Brooks Launch 12 is a lightweight, responsive running shoe designed for everyday mileage and faster-paced workouts. Its nitrogen-infused DNA FLASH cushioning provides a light and springy feel, while DNA FLASH v2 cushioning in the forefoot helps create a quick, energetic push-off.
An airy mesh upper provides a breathable and comfortable fit. The secure heel and dynamic forefoot help stabilize each landing without adding traditional stability features. Underfoot, the durable RoadTack rubber outsole provides dependable traction and supports quick forward movement.
The Launch 12 is a versatile choice for runners who want one lightweight shoe for daily runs, tempo workouts, gym sessions, and days when they want to increase the pace.
