  • RunRepeat : 86.6 / 100 — « Brooks knows the Adrenaline GTS sells extremely well, and version 25 shows that the brand did not want to risk too much. We found in the lab that this update brings small but positive changes: softer foam, better shock absorption, a more reasonable drop, and even more comfort. The shoe feels dependable and stable, but it still lacks lively bounce and carries more weight than many modern rivals. »
