The PureDrift, which hits stores in January of 2013, weighs in at 5.6 ounces for men and 5.1 ounces for women. It features a removable insole that allows you to customize the heel-to-toe drop from 4mm out of the box, to a more extreme 0mm. www.brooksrunning.com

A blended BioMoGo DNA midsole provides customized cushioning by adapting to a runner's weight and running style. www.brooksrunning.com

Dual toe flex splits allow your forefoot to flex through its three functional units, creating natural balance and a responsive push-off. www.brooksrunning.com

An anatomical last mimics the shape of the foot and a minimal upper allows your foot to move as nature intended it. www.brooksrunning.com
