Glycerin 22
Glycerin 22 is a high-cushion road trainer for daily miles and long runs. It replaces Glycerin 21's DNA LOFT v3 with dual-cell DNA TUNED: larger heel cells cushion landings while smaller forefoot cells support toe-off. A new double-jacquard knit improves the accommodating fit, and a broad platform promotes steady transitions. RoadTack rubber with HPR at the heel covers the outsole.

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- Brooks Japan's specification tab lists 290 g per shoe at men's 27 cm. The US men's sample is 289.2 g (10.2 oz); these regional sample statements are not averaged or converted.
- Plate note
- Non-carbon classification follows the complete exact JP/US construction pages and manufacturer comparison: DNA TUNED, a knit upper and a broad platform, corroborated by REI's RoadTack/HPR outsole description. No carbon mechanism is identified; this is not a blanket no-plate claim.
