The Rock ‘n’ Roll Launch 5

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Launch 5 plays a tribute to the rock music of the 1960s and 70s with a vibrant tie-dye upper inspired by the era. The limited-edition shoe celebrates the company’s 7-year partnership with the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series and the runners who participate in its races by showcasing the Rock ‘n’ Roll guitar logo on the sock liner and back of the heel along the words “Rock ‘n’ Roll” and “Marathon Series” on the sides. The Launch 5 uses a combination of adaptable BioMoGo DNA midsole cushioning and rebounding rubber to create a springy experience. The shoe’s Midfoot Transition Zone gets runners from heel to toe quickly, and the one-piece mesh upper and internal bootie provide a light and breezy fit.

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Launch 5 goes on sale starting Jan. 12 for $100, and will be available at Rock ‘n’ Roll events and online at www.brooksrunning.com.
