Brooks Glycerin 22 First Run Review

The Daily Hobby Jogger Show · 2025-02-04

The Brooks Glycerin 22 is a max cushioned running shoe designed for comfort and durability. Priced at $165, it competes with shoes like the Hoka Bondi 9 ($165) and Asics Gel-Nimbus 27 ($165). In this video, I give an overview of the Glycerin 22, take it out for some miles and let you know my thoughts.
