Brooks Glycerin 22 running shoes

Brooks is a premier American running brand that has established itself as a leader in technical performance footwear and apparel. Originally founded in Philadelphia in 1914, the brand initially produced various types of shoes before specializing exclusively in running gear in the early 2000s. The Glycerin series represents their premium neutral cushioning line, engineered for high-mileage comfort and durability.

While the brand is headquartered in Seattle, Washington, manufacturing is outsourced to specialized facilities across Asia to meet global demand. The Glycerin 22 model shown in the image is specifically labeled as 'Made in Indonesia.' Ownership of the brand has transitioned through several hands over the decades, ultimately being acquired by Berkshire Hathaway in 2006. Today, Brooks operates as a standalone subsidiary of the multinational conglomerate, maintaining its identity as a specialist running company while benefiting from the logistical and financial stability of its parent organization.
