Brooks Sports Running Shoes

Brooks Sports, commonly known as Brooks Running, is a premier American brand specialized in high-performance running shoes, apparel, and accessories. Founded in 1914, the brand has transformed from a general footwear maker into a leader in the global running community, focusing exclusively on runner-specific needs.

While the brand's heart and engineering remain rooted in the United States, its manufacturing operations are concentrated in Southeast Asia. The majority of Brooks footwear is produced in dedicated facilities in Vietnam, with additional manufacturing capacity in China and Indonesia to serve international markets.

Since 2006, Brooks has been a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, the multinational conglomerate led by Warren Buffett. This ownership provides the brand with significant financial stability while allowing it to maintain its independent identity and headquarters in Seattle, Washington.
