The imminent arrival on the market of the new Brooks Launch 8 is arousing great interest among the loyal followers of the American company. This is the latest update of one of the most popular mixed and fast shoes for neutral runners, synonymous with lightness, versatility and comfort. In the absence of official confirmation, everything suggests that the new Launch 8 will also have a GTS "Go To Support" version; a version aimed at overpronators who demand greater control of the running stride along with greater support and stability.

We still have to wait to know all the details surrounding these Brooks Launch 8 running shoes. A release that represents a before and after in this successful line as it lands on the market with a double version; the neutral version and the pronator version, the Brooks Launch 8 GTS. These models will undoubtedly incorporate the most outstanding technologies and materials of the American company.

Brooks Launch 8, mixed and fast shoes

For starters, these Launch 8 from Brooks Running will bring along remarkable changes in the different strategic areas of the shoe. Improvements for greater fluidity and dynamism in the stride that ratify the value of these mixed and fast shoes. A lighter and more flexible upper, an optimized midsole for smoother transitions or a more resistant outsole, these are some of the features present in this new model.

The unquestionable presence of the exclusive BioMoGo DNA foam in the midsole of these Brooks Launch 8 ensures superior reactivity and an unprecedented energy return. A cushioning system already present in the previous model, the Brooks Launch 7, which guarantees permanent shock absorption. In this eighth version, the Brooks Running designers have also incorporated an extra reinforcement in the midfoot area to guarantee smoother transitions.

The upper of these Brooks Launch 8 faithfully reflects the changes in this successful saga. The upper is made of a very thin and lightweight Air Mesh engineered mesh. A very flexible construction that ensures a permanent, secure and comfortable fit. Everything indicates that the design line characteristic of the Launch line will be maintained but with certain modifications for a more modern aesthetic.

The outsole is another strategic area of this mixed shoe that has undergone change. It is here where the designers of the American company have opted to incorporate the Blown Rubber compound, a blown rubber compound that increases the grip and traction of the shoe as a whole.

Brooks Launch 8, technical specifications

The arrival on the market of the new update of Brooks Running's successful Launch line has all eyes on it, and it's no wonder! The best kept secret of this eighth iteration lies in the essence of this mixed and fast shoe that comes to the market with a double version; for neutral runners and for pronator runners. The Launch 8 and the Launch 8 GTS will soon land on the market, delighting the fastest runners.

We still have to wait to know, with precision, all the details that will accompany this new model but it looks very promising!
