Step into the lab
Rooted in science — runner science.
In the BlueLine Lab, our race toward the most futuristic shoe technology always starts with the runner. Our biomechanics scientists work alongside runners, listening to their wants, needs, and feedback. Through extensive insights and data, the lab has engineered the most advanced shoe technology on earth — scratch that — galaxy.
Breaking PRs in futuristic tech
Because runners are always thinking two steps ahead, we make sure to do the same. Through the latest techniques and a streamlined process, the BlueLine Lab is able to rapidly accelerate technology development and turn around fine-tuned futuristic tech at a Des Linden pace.
Limit-pushing technology. Limited-edition quantity.
The BlueLine Lab makes crazy big leaps in shoe technology and releases them in small, limited batches. This allows them to deliver advanced shoe technology within half the time development typically takes.
BlueLine Lab History
In major marathons, racers follow the blue line — the fastest route from start
to finish. Our BlueLine Lab tackles futuristic shoe technology with the same
approach, using the fastest path to get advanced prototypes developed and
on to the feet of runners at lightspeed. The BlueLine team is quick on their
feet and have been breaking new ground in speed, trail, and cushion shoes
for years. Take a look at the roadmap of BlueLine Lab shoes, past to present.
Aurora (June 2021)
The BlueLine Lab creates never-before-done technology, then scales it back into shoe form. For the Aurora, the Brooks BlueLine Lab introduced the first-ever, nitrogen-injected, ultra-soft DNA LOFT v3 cushioning — cushion so soft, you’ll feel like you’re defying gravity.
Hyperion Elite (June 2020)
A shoe rooted in speed. The Hyperion Elite was developed at a rapid pace, which is fitting considering the prototype is what Des Linden wore to win the 2018 Boston Marathon. The Hyperion Elite features responsive, nitrogen-infused DNA FLASH cushioning and unique carbon fiber propulsion plate to keep you running faster, longer.
Hyperion Tempo (June 2020)
The Brooks BlueLine Lab paved the way to better training sessions and new PRs with the revolutionary cushioning process. The Hyperion Tempo’s DNA FLASH cushion is infused with nitrogen, to deliver a fast, super lightweight ride with incredible energy return.
Catamount (August 2020)
With the BlueLine Lab’s streamlined process, the Catamount — a trail shoe developed for max speed and distance — was developed in just 6 months. That’s half the time it typically takes to produce a shoe.
