Brooks Trace 2 (Men’s): was $100 now $74 @ Brooks
“Leave no trace” is the outdoorsman’s motto…unless it comes to these entry-level road running shoes. Brooks’ proprietary BioMoGo DNA cushioning adapts to your speed, stride, and overall weight to minimize impact and create a smooth heel-to-toe transition; an updated mesh upper keeps airflow top of mind. Performance running shoes for under $100? Believe it.
Brooks Revel 6 (Men's): was $100 now $79 @ Brooks
If you're new to the world of running and don't want to spend too much, this is the shoe for you. The Revel 6 provides a springy, comfortable feel on the road thanks to its added cushioning. The shoe's arrow-point pattern in the outsole also lets your foot move quickly from heel to toe.
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 (Women's): was $140 now $89 @ Brooks
This is last season's model, but don't let this put you off. It remains a great option for road runners offering a smooth, supportive and stable ride. This is thanks to the GuideRail technology, which is meant to act like bumpers on a bowling alley, providing a stable platform for your feet.
Brooks Ghost 15 (Men’s): was $140 now $99 @ Brooks
Available in over a dozen colorful styles and a few different widths (as supplies last), Brooks’ most popular shoe is just 100 bucks right now. These perfectly balanced road running shoes have just the right amount of cushion to keep you comfy when you’re on the move. The breathable upper fits like a glove, and at just 10.1 ounces per shoe, they might be the perfect phantasm for your feet.
Brooks Glycerin 20 (Men’s / Women’s): was $160 now $100 @ Brooks
These super-soft running shoes feature a classic style, 10mm drop, and nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 technology for optimized cushioning and ultra-responsive movements. The air mesh upper offers a secure-yet-breathable fit, and the redesigned midsole is equipped with a wider platform to enable easier transitions. The men’s version of these shoes are on sale for the same price.
Brooks Caldera 6 Trail-Running Shoes (Women’s): was $150 now $99 @ Brooks
Trail running is extra tough on your feet, but the Brooks Caldera 6 trail running shoes can handle the abuse thanks to nitrogen-infused cushioning; protective TPU toe caps; a secure mesh upper; and a beefy 26mm heel stack. The wide base allows for stable landings — even on uneven terrain — and TrailTrack rubber outsoles to keep slippery surfaces from slowing you down.
Brooks Levitate StealthFit 6 (Men’s / Women’s): was $150 now $119 @ Brooks
Want a lighter-than-air running shoe to bring out your inner David Blaine? These energizing kicks give you a little extra boost with every step, thanks to Brooks’ updated midsole tech, which is ten percent lighter than previous models. You can also expect smooth heel-to-toe transitions thanks to the wider midfoot area, and plenty of bouncy cushion underfoot. The women’s version of these shoes are on sale for the same price.
Brooks Aurora-BL (Women’s): was $200 now $139 @ Brooks
If you’re looking for some of the softest landings this side of the Mississippi, check out the Aurora-BL, which uses nitrogen-injected cushioning and Glide Roll technology for softer, lighter strides. A uniquely decoupled midsole lets your heel and forefoot move independently of each other. The end result? More natural movements — and happier landings!
