History : Equalon 3 ('09), Equalon 2~1

BRS 1000™ : A highly durable carbon rubber we invented for use in outsoles. BRS stands for Blue Ribbon Sports, which was our name before we came up with Nike. The tie-in? Both BRS and Nike last ... and last...

Cushlon® ST : Cradles the foot for support and cushioning that’s both plush and resilient.

Duralon : Outsole : Delivers additional cushioning to the forefoot, which then enables a smooth toe-off. It is very soft, so it might not be as durable as other outsole materials depending on the surface on which the shoes are worn. It is typically found in the forefoot area of a running shoe, so the durability doesn't affect the overall life of the shoe itself.

Nike + : A pocket under the sockliner for secure placement of Nike+ sensor. Connected to iPod nano, information on time, distance, calories burned and pace is stored on iPod and displayed on the screen; real-time audible feedback also is provided through headphones.

TPU : Thermoplastic Urethane : It can be fine-tuned for optimal stiffness and is used to make stabilizing plates.

Waffle Fill™ : Rubber compound outsole for enhanced traction.

Zoom Air® : Cushioning : Two layers of nylon fabric, joined by densely packed fibers, are sealed inside polyurethane. The unit is inflated; pushing apart the fabric and creating tension on the fibers. What does that mean? I don't know, but the result is a low-to-the-ground, hyper-responsive speed cushioning you can feel. And it does it in less space than other Air-Sole units.

DRB Accel™ : To promote natural movement and provide torsional midfoot support.

E-Fusion™ : e-0™ is a new engineered outsole material that delivers unsurpassed skid and abrasion resistance compared to traditional outsole materials, e-1™ is a new compound, engineered to dampen and dissipate shock upon heel impact. e-2™ is a highly resilient compound with a superior spring rate. Positioned into the forefoot, the result is a toe-off that's truly explosive.

HPR™ : High Performance Rubber :A super-durable rubber compound provides greater resistance to high wear areas of the outsole.

HydroFlow® : Liquid silicon-based system cushioning system chamber dampens shock at impact and dynamically disperses fluid at a controlled rate around the heel cushioning, stabilizing and rebounding on every stride.

Mogo : Offers 40 percent more cushioning and gives a runner 22 percent more return of energy - the "spring" in one's step - than Brooks' former midsole. Substance 257. MoGo not only represents a giant leap forward in midsole material performance for Brooks, it also entails an evolved method of production. Compression Molded Preform (CMP) is an efficient, precise production process in which, rather than being cut out of large sheets of material in the traditional method, midsoles are cast in individual molds, resulting in 50% less waste. The CMP process also increases consistency by an incredible 200%. Less variability between midsoles ensures that runners can count on enjoying the same feel pair after pair.

PDRB™ : Progressive Diagonal Rollbar : Dual Density Post is bio-mechanically engineered to allow progressive pronation control.

DRB™ Accel : To promote natural movement and provide torsional midfoot support.
