Brooks Glycerin Max Shoes Orchid Ice
Orchid Ice takes the Glycerin Max’s maximum cushioning and wraps it in a mostly black upper, letting soft lavender accents on the logo and heel pull do the talking. It’s a quieter, more versatile pairing from the Brooks Sports Running Shoes range for runners who want plush cushioning that doesn’t stand out too much.
Maximum Cushioning, Minimal Compromise
Brooks built the Max specifically to push cushioning further without losing stability. A wider platform at the base keeps the extra stack height from feeling tippy, so the added softness never comes at the cost of control.

A Mostly Black Build With A Soft Lavender Accent
Unlike brighter Glycerin Max colorways, Orchid Ice keeps the mesh upper almost entirely black, saving the lavender for the swoosh logo and heel pull so the shoe reads dark and low-key from a distance.
The Case For Going Max
If you already own a standard Brooks Glycerin and want more cushioning underfoot, the Max is the natural next step up. Take a look through the full Brooks Shoes Women collection to see how it compares.
