Brooks Running smashes Q1 records with 114% shoe sales surge

Brooks Running recorded its strongest first quarter in brand history in 2025. The company saw double-digit growth, driven by rising demand for its performance footwear. Several key promotions and hires also marked the period as part of its expansion strategy. Sales of popular models surged in early 2025. The Adrenaline GTS line grew by 31% compared to the same period last year. The Hyperion Elite saw an even sharper rise, with sales jumping 114%. Meanwhile, the Glycerin remained the brand’s top seller, increasing globally by 34%.

The company made significant changes to its leadership and structure. In February, Claire Wood joined as vice president of footwear product strategy. Marc Misiewicz was promoted to vice president of U.S. wholesale, while Shawn Kohn became director of sporting goods within the same division. Micah Tanaka also advanced to senior manager for the shoe chain. These moves followed a broader restructuring of Brooks’ global and regional operations to support growth and innovation. The strong Q1 performance reinforces Brooks’ position in the performance running market. New leadership roles and rising shoe sales signal continued momentum for the brand. The restructured business model aims to sustain this growth in the coming years.
