- Brooks introduces 2015 Adrenaline GTS and Ravenna 6
For Brooks Running Company, 2014 was a year of milestones: among other noteworthy mileposts, Brooks reached half a billion dollars in annual sales, moved into a new state-of-the-art global headquarters and celebrated its 100th anniversary. To cap it off, Brooks posted a 15-percent increase in revenue growth year-over-year driven by a 13-percent increase in US footwear sales and a 32-percent increase in Europe, the Middle East and Africa sales on a local currency basis.
Aside from being the No. 1 running shoe at specialty running account (SRA) stores throughout the US from December 2013 to November 2014, Brooks’ Ghost 6 shoe held the No. 1 position in the growing neutral footwear category at SRA, where 44 percent of total running shoes sold during the rolling year were neutral styles. Meanwhile at SRA, Brooks’s Adrenaline GTS shoe remained the top choice for runners in its category for the sixth year in a row.
In 2014 Brooks also earned awards from editors, wear testers and industry experts.
To kick off what looks to be another banner year for Brooks, the company proudly introduces two new models: the Adrenaline GTS 15 and the Ravenna 6.
The all-new Adrenaline GTS 15 takes equal parts support, cushion and balance, and wraps them in a stylish, high-performance package. It features adaptive cushioning in the BioMoGo DNA midsole, responding to the athlete’s gait, with a full-length segmented crash pad for an ultra smooth heel-to-toe transition. It is the DNA technology that gives all Brooks shoes the famous “bounce”, creating a sensation akin to running on clouds so you can go on and on and on. The Progressive Diagonal Rollbar provides stability while moisture-managing materials in the upper keep the feet cool and dry.
The Brooks Ravenna 6 takes the runner into a whole new world of cushion and stability. Riding the line between Neutral and Support, the Ravenna 6 features adaptive BioMoGo DNA cushioning in the midsole for custom comfort. It features an extended Segmented Crash Pad for full ground contact and seamless heel-to-toe transition. Adjustable saddle wrapping from heel to midfoot provides a snug fit.
The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 15 and Ravenna 6 will be available in all RUNNR stores and at the Brooks concept store by February 2015.
