INTRODUCTION

The Ravenna 2 is a moderate feature, moderate support shoe designed for daily training and high mileage. It is built with a semi-curved shape.

CUSHIONING

Rearfoot DNA is a high energy return cushioning device consisting of highly viscous liquid that performs like millions of "nanosprings". This rearfoot piece dissipates impact energy and is designed to tailor the level of cushioning to each individual's weight, pace, biomechanics, and running environment.
Forefoot DNA is a high energy return cushioning device consisting of highly viscous liquid that performs like millions of "nanosprings". This forefoot piece is designed for flexibility to ensure a smooth transition from heel strike to toe off.

MIDSOLE

BioMoGo is Brook's premium midsole material. BioMoGo is designed to offer resilient cushioning and extends the full length of the midsole. BioMoGo is also environmentally friendly, as it will biodegrade 50 times faster in a landfill compared to traditional foam midsoles.
Diagonal Rollbar (DRB) is located at the midfoot and is a dual density BioMoGo construction which is desgned to reduce excess pronation.
DRB Accel is located at the bottom of the midsole in the midfoot. DRB Accel is an injected thermoplastic polyurethane unit which is intended to balance support and torsional rigidity with responsiveness for smooth and fast heel-to-toe movement.
Stable Pod Configuration is a midsole/outsole design pattern intended to set the foot up for an efficient, balanced position from heel to toe. The focus of this design is on stability and responsiveness.

UPPER

Air Mesh covers the upper and is a breathable mesh that allows heat to escape.
Synthetic Overlays are strategically located with the purpose of providing a secure fit.
Element Linings lie along the underside of the upper to aid in moisture transfer and comfort.
Profile Sockliner sits underfoot and is made of BioMoGo for cushioning and forms a contoured support sensation.
Cushole S-257 Last utilizes a full length layer of advanced foam to provide cushioning and flexibility.

OUTSOLE

HPR Plus is a form of high abrasion-resistant rubber and is located in the heel.
Blown Rubber is located in the forefoot to provide responsiveness and flexibilty.
Stable Pod Configuration is a midsole/outsole design pattern intended to set the foot up for an efficient, balanced position from heel to toe. The focus of this design is on stability and responsiveness.
