Brooks Adrenaline GTS running shoes

Brooks is a historic American sports equipment company that was founded in 1914 by Morris Goldenberg in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While it initially produced ballet slippers and bathing shoes, it evolved into a premier high-performance running brand known for its motion-control and stability technologies, exemplified by the Adrenaline GTS model shown.

Today, the brand operates as a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, the multinational conglomerate led by Warren Buffett. While the brand is headquartered in Seattle, Washington, its manufacturing is decentralized. Most Brooks footwear is produced in specialized factories across Asia, primarily in Vietnam and China, to meet global demand for technical athletic gear.

Brooks remains a market leader in the specialty running category, focusing exclusively on runner-centric innovations. Its ownership under Berkshire Hathaway provides the brand with significant financial stability while allowing it to maintain its independent brand identity and dedicated focus on the running community.
