Summer racing season is in full swing … and so we welcome the Launch, abrand new neutral lightweight trainer that provides “just enough shoe” and cushioning. The Launch has one goal in mind: let you run fast and not lose any energy in the shoe. Lace these up for mile repeats or tempo runs, and know this shoe will help you hit your splits.
With a nice midfoot wrap, BioMoGo midsole, and carefully constructed forefoot – the Launch embodies the definitions of resiliency and effort-enabler. And the minimally constructed upper keeps you secure in the shoe, but avoids unnecessary weight or possible areas of irritation. One early reviewer raves: “like running on a cloud…the miles feel effortless in the Launch.”
Added perk: Fans of the old Brooks Burn can finally clean out their closets!
I am glad that there is finally a Burn replacement, but who picks these colors? Is it the same color blind person who picked that awful green for the Defyance?
By far the best neutral running shoe out there right now. It’s got a soft ride, it’s responsive, and I am most impressed with it’s longevity. I’ll be racing in these at Hood to Coast this weekend!

Thank god! LOL!
Been running in the Launch since it was Launched. Very nice shoe. HUGE improvement in the forefoot fit relative to The Burn. Well Done!

Great shoe but what were you thinking when you went with red and orange.
It reminds me of the Newton’s - Nasty!
Come on guys.

These shoes are awesome. They give you a lot of support, almost as much as Asics Nimbus but much lighter. Oh, and I love the colors.
