Ballistic Rock Shield : The shield is composed of a thermoplastic EVA sheath and placed under the forefoot to protect against stone bruising.

BioMogo® : Is the world’s first fully biodegradable midsole foam for footwear. Once a pair of Brooks shoes with BioMoGo has reached an enclosed landfill, it will begin to biodegrade. In roughly 20 years the midsoles will be completely converted by common soil microbes into useful humus and nutrients. That’s about 50 times faster than a standard midsole degradation : Mogo® : Offers 40 percent more cushioning and gives a runner 22 percent more return of energy - the "spring" in one's step - than Brooks' former midsole. Substance 257. MoGo not only represents a giant leap forward in midsole material performance for Brooks, it also entails an evolved method of production. Compression Molded Preform (CMP) is an efficient, precise production process in which, rather than being cut out of large sheets of material in the traditional method, midsoles are cast in individual molds, resulting in 50% less waste. The CMP process also increases consistency by an incredible 200%. Less variability between midsoles ensures that runners can count on enjoying the same feel pair after pair.

Cush Pod Configuration : Design for excellent cushioning and flexibility, it is a midsole/outsole design for optimizing foot position for an efficient heel to toe-off.

Cushsole S257™ Last : Provide a softer underfoot feel.

DNA™, Forefoot n Heel : Provides a customized ride for runners of all sizes and speeds, dispersing impact and providing ideal comfort and protection as the pace changes.

Element™ Mesh : A microfiber construction that provides strong protection against the elements in a light and quiet fabric. Element™ maintains full breathability and durable comfort.

HPR™ Green Sole : Primarily located in the forefoot and is a durable compound made with dispersed silica resulting in increased traction.

Hydrophobic Foam : Foam which doesn’t absorb water when wet, placed in the shoe tongue and collar lining.

Internal Support Saddle : Located in the midfoot with the purpose of providing a more secure midfoot fit.

Pivot Posts, Forefoot : Comprises of independent medial-laterial posts shaped to reduce the destabilizing effect of trail irregularities.

Pivot Posts, Heel : Located under the lateral side of the metatarsals and is shaped to adapt to varied terrain surfaces to help keep the shoe from toppling over.

Profile Sockliner : Placed underfoot and is made of BioMoGo™ for cushioning and forms a contoured support sensation.
