In its report on Thursday, Brooks also highlighted its innovation and product launches for the year. In 2025, the company said that ten of its footwear styles posted year‑over‑year revenue growth of 20 percent or more.
These models included the Glycerin series, featuring Brooks’ new DNA Tuned midsole foam, which delivered 33 percent revenue growth and a 27 percent increase in unit sales year-over-year, accelerated by a 46 percent year-over-year revenue surge in Q4. Plus, the Adrenaline GTS celebrated its 25th anniversary, contributing double-digit full-price growth as a top seller for the brand.
Dan Sheridan, chief executive officer of Brooks Running, said in a statement that the company’s success comes as the running market “continues to gain extraordinary momentum” around the world.
“Our opportunity ahead is incredibly exciting and I have great confidence in the entire Brooks global team,” Sheridan said. “Following a record 2025, we enter 2026 energized by the innovations and programs we’ll deliver to runners and retailers worldwide.”
Brooks’ latest revenue figures come just days after Circana reported that running and running-inspired lifestyle shoes were among the categories that dominated footwear sales in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Performance shoes continued to lead industry growth in Q4, with dollar sales up 6 percent and the number of units also rising, driven by running, walking, and training. Running posted a 9 percent dollar increase, supported by continued interest in the category for both athletic and casual use, Circana found. Walking grew 9 percent in dollar sales and experienced the strongest unit surge in the performance sector.
