Profile of the Brooks Wire v6
Use - The Brooks Wire v6 is a running spike that’s designed to function in mid-distance to long-distance races. These running matches can range from 1500 meters to 10000 meters.
Spike Type - There are four changeable pyramid spikes attached to the plate of the running shoe. These pins are ¼ inch in length and dig into the track surface for a light yet aggressive traction.
Spike Plate - A Pebax® Rnew plate is designated into the outsole of the track shoe. It allows for flexibility and an amplified grip. It also houses the removable pins of the distance shoe for multi-surface traction.
Notable Features
The sole refinement made to this sixth iteration of the Brooks Wire series is the implementation of a revamped woven upper. It is intended for featherlight breathability and security.
The rest of the shoe’s makeup replicates the same design from the previous model. It still sports the same distance plate—Pebax® Rnew plate. It is responsible for supplying a good surface grip.
Brooks' famous BioMoGo midsole is present in the composition of this track running shoe. It delivers a durable, responsive cushioning.
Size and fit
Just like most track shoes, the Wire v6 is engineered using the standard width and follows men’s sizing scale. It is recommended for women to deduct 1.5 from their usual size preference.
There are two technical elements that are directly influencing the fit of the Brooks Wire v6. First, the woven upper is tasked to wrap around the contours and shape of the foot for lockdown. On the other hand, the lacing system of the distance spike permits an adjustable and convenient fit.
Outsole
The Wire v6 features a polymer-based spike plate that has a dual-layer construction—Pebax® Rnew plate. This fashion supplements better rigidity for intensified propulsion. Although imposing stiff qualities, the distance plate still exhibits ample flexibility. This is essential for distance running platforms for comfort and unrestricted foot movements. The spike plate’s makeup also poses for superior grip on the track surface.
Midsole
Made out of environmentally-friendly, biodegradable materials, the BioMoGo midsole is integrated into the Brooks Wire v6. It has shock-mitigating attributes that protect the foot from trauma. Because of its engineering, it supplements resilient cushioning.
Upper
For ultra-light durability and security, a new woven upper is introduced into the Brooks Wire v6’s configuration. This upper material envelops around the foot snugly without compromising the runner’s speed. It keeps a minimal weight and profile, preventing drag.
To keep the foot locked down in place, a traditional lace-up fastening system is implemented. The same closure system is found in the Adidas Distancestar and the Nike Zoom Victory 3.
