INTRODUCTION

The Addiction 9 is a moderate feature, moderate motion control shoe designed for daily training and high mileage. It is built with a semi-straight shape.

CUSHIONING

Hydroflow ST is located in the heel and is a cushioning device which consists of a chamber filled with viscous fluid. Hydroflow ST is designed to attenuate shock, dampen impact forces and provide added heel stability.
Forefoot Hydroflow is located where the metatarsal head region of the foot rests in the shoe. Forefoot Hydroflow is designed to attenuate shock and dampen forces.

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.
Extended Progressive Diagonal Rollbar (PDRB) begins at the medial heel and extends through to the medial forefoot. PDRB is a tri-density BioMoGo construction which is designed to smoothly reduce excess pronation.
MC 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 maximum motion control and flexibility.

UPPER

Element Mesh is a moisture-managing, breathable mesh that covers large expanses of the upper.
Synthetic Overlays are strategically located with the purpose of providing a secure fit.
Internal Support Saddle is located in the midfoot with the purpose of providing a more secure midfoot fit.
Cloud Sockliner sits underfoot to provide a consistent platform for foot comfort.
Cushole S-257 and Combination Last combines a rearfoot fiberboard for rigidity with a layer of advanced foam for underfoot comfort.

OUTSOLE

HPR Plus is a form of high abrasion-resistant rubber and is located in the heel.
MC 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 maximum motion control and flexibility.
