Description To help runners chase down their goals, Brooks introduced the Levitate in 2017. With incredible energy return and a super springy feel, the Levitate is the cornerstone of Brooks Energize category, making each mile feel a little easier. They partnered with the materials company BASF to develop the DNA AMP midsole compound that provides ample energy return — among the highest in their line. Brooks DNA AMP midsole technology delivers high energy return that helps your foot spring off the ground. DNA AMP returns energy by absorbing it as your foot hits the ground, then and sending it straight back up to you. Brooks cushioning technologies all start with DNA because they react to your unique stride. A new engineered circular-knit Fit Knit upper provides breathability and ensures a more flexible, accommodating fit. The arrow-point pattern in the outsole lets your foot move quickly from heel to toe, enhancing the shoe's springy feel. Quick transitions help reduce your ground contact times, keeping your stride quick and efficient.
