Brooks ELMN8 4

Built to attack the toughest part of the race, the Brooks ELMN8 4 is a middle-distance spike designed for fast, efficient running from the quarter up through the mile and beyond. Underfoot, a full-length spike plate paired with an internal carbon-fiber propulsion element creates a snappy, aggressive feel that rewards quick turnover and decisive toe-offs. Up top, the ultra-light Woven Air upper hugs your foot with a race-ready, sock-like fit, delivering ventilation and lockdown so you can stay composed when the pace surges.
