Better shock absorption for a smoother ride
The outsole unit of the Brooks Addiction 13 utilizes the HPR Plus technology, a rubber layer that protects against wear and tear. It has a durable build that allows it to last long. Its traction-ready nature permits poised movements on the asphalt.
Utilizing an amended MC Pod Configuration, the outsole now displays more rubber pods for better shock absorption and dissipation, as well as a smoother ride.
Addiction 13 allows the foot to bend naturally
Several flex grooves are placed in the forefoot section of the external pad. These shallow trenches make the platform flexible, thus allowing the foot to bend naturally as it transitions from the heel to the toe during each step.
The cushioning of the Addiction 13 features the brand's very own DNA technology. The DNA uses a kind of fluid gel with a viscosity that adapts to the stress applied to it – the higher the force, the stiffer it becomes.
The DNA material is blended with another midsole compound, BioMoGo, for consistent and long-lasting cushioning throughout the running experience.

An Extended Progressive Diagonal Rollbar tri-density foam runs the length of the midsole from heel to forefoot. This midsole element is also utilized in the Brooks Beast. It helps control pronation and promotes more seamless transitions through the gait cycle.
There is also a heel-segmented crash pad. Shaped like a caterpillar, it efficiently flexes with the foot for additional steadiness and flexibility, thus ensuring smoother landings.
Brooks’ breathable mesh delivers a second-skin sensation
A moisture-managing and breathable mesh upper brings comfort, ventilation, and protection against heat and friction. It is accompanied by a moisture-wicking interior lining that keeps the foot cool and dry while also delivering a second-skin sensation.
Sturdy synthetic overlays are strategically located in the midfoot area of the Brooks Addiction 13 to guarantee structural integrity and optimal support. These stitched add-ons also prevent in-shoe quivering, thereby heightening the stability of the foot.
Customized adjustment to get the right fit
A traditional lacing scheme is used for this motion control running shoe. Semi-round shoelaces snake through eyelets on the overlay system, encompassing the sides and the bridge of the foot.
Tightening or loosening these crisscrossing strands would cause the façade to go along with the act, thus meriting a customized adjustment of the fit. A lace anchor is placed on the lateral side of the tongue unit.
Asics and Saucony
This seemingly inconsequential fabric loop locks the tongue in place, thus preventing fabric deviation or friction, events that may irritate the skin of the foot and hinder the quality of the performance.
Both the tongue and collar of this Brooks shoe are made from a light fabric and come with some cushioning that ensures comfort around the foot and prevents irritation from affecting the skin.
