BROOKS LEVITATE - The Levitate is a new deluxe shoe to the Brooks line, with a new material for the brand: DNA AMP. The upper is supple engineered mesh, with smooth linings and tongue which wrap the foot softly and securely. The structure at heel and toe flex with the foot, while holding the upper above the toes and maintains its shape against the roll of all but the most mobile ankles. The midsole is DNA AMP, a polyurethane foam encapsulated by a TPU skin to reduce energy loss efficiently, and provides as lively a ride as Brooks has yet produced in a deluxe, high mileage, shoe (or any shoe outside their competition range). The outersole is a durable rubber, configured in a chevron pattern, which provides grip and with its grooved surface, good durability as well. While the weight seems a bit hefty, the ride gives it a much lighter feel. The options - once other shoes in Brooks' line get "AMPed" - will raise the bar in comfort and performance.
