										Never a group to rest on its laurels, the Brooks design team decided to take the company’s shoes to an entirely new level by developing a truly adaptable cushioning system that would respond to the unique characteristics of each runner -- from weight, gait and running surface, to pressures and speeds.
										
										We can now offer shoes with a cushioning system that instantaneously adapts to a runner’s unique biomechanics, weight, pace, gait and surface,” Campbell said.
