Men's Launch 9 Neutral Running Shoe

This men's shoe, the Launch 9, is designed for neutral runners seeking a dependable, lightweight shoe with DNA cushioning and a highly breathable upper to enable fast running on every outing. We recommend ordering Brooks running shoes 1/2 to one size larger than your typical dress shoe size.

The Launch 9 provides neutral support to keep you running faster mile after mile, thanks to its lightweight, streamlined design and increased BioMoGo DNA cushioning in the midsole. The reengineered upper features Creel Warp mesh, engineered to be extremely light and breathable, with hints of reflectivity to enhance visibility on the road.

We have added more BioMoGo DNA cushioning to the midsole, creating an even faster, more responsive ride without the extra weight - perfect for days when you're working on your speed. The redesigned midsole, increased by 2 mm, provides runners with greater responsiveness, while the Green Rubber Outsole helps your foot transition smoothly from heel to toe.

For product care, machine wash the Launch 9. The shoe's origin is either made in the USA or imported, and the sole material is rubber with a synthetic outer material.

When comparing the Launch 9 to other Brooks running shoes, it offers a speed-focused, streamlined experience, with a cushion level of 1 out of 3 and a support classification of neutral. In contrast, the Adrenaline GTS 23 and Levitate GTS 6 provide a higher level of support (2 out of 3 cushion) for added stability, while the Ghost 15 and Glycerin StealthFit 20 offer a softer, more protective cushioning experience (3 out of 3 cushion).

The Launch 9 is best suited for road running, speed workouts, and treadmill use, with a 10 mm midsole drop and a lightweight, responsive design. The Adrenaline GTS 23 and Levitate GTS 6, on the other hand, are better suited for everyday runs and added support, while the Ghost 15 and Glycerin StealthFit 20 excel in long-distance and treadmill running.

Regardless of the specific model, all Brooks running shoes featured here are APMA (American Podiatric Medical Association) certified and PDAC (Pricing, Data Analysis, and Coding) A5500 Diabetic Shoe approved, ensuring quality and safety for your running needs.
