Brooks Running Has a New Limited-Edition Collaboration Where No Two Pairs Are the Same

After bringing back its Adrenaline GTS 10 sneaker from 2009 with discreet under-the-hood modern upgrades, Brooks Running is continuing its newly renewed lifestyle push through a new collaboration with a fellow Pacific Northwest brand.

The Seattle-based athletic footwear company has partnered with Portland-based clothing brand Bare Knuckles for a new spin on the former’s Cascadia 1 model with details inspired by Bare Knuckles’ vintage-driven ethos. The result is the most lifestyle-leaning version of the Cascadia 1 yet, reinventing the first Brooks trail running shoe from 2004 for everyday use.

The overall profile and build of the Cascadia 1 remains faithful to Brooks’ original design, but the materials have been manipulated with a Bare Knuckles edge. This includes a heavy potassium and enzyme wash on the suede upper, which was then hand-brushed at the Bare Knuckles factory. The result is a texture that is unique to every pair and ensures that no two pairs will fade in the same manner. It’s also notable for being the first version of the Brooks Cascadia 1 to feature a full natural suede upper.

“We find the unevenness and distinct look of the worn in suede one of our favorite parts about this shoe,” reads the official Bare Knuckles product description.

Other details include hairy suede overlays, a Bare Knuckles star logo stamped on the heel, co-branding throughout and multiple sets of shoelaces including brown, yellow and white.

While positioned as a lifestyle shoe these days, the 20-plus-year-old trail sneaker maintains much of the signature components which once made it suited for off-road excursions.
