Brooks reported on Thursday that its sales grew for the 13th straight quarter, with revenues soaring 12 percent for the first nine months of 2026.
The sportswear maker again saw solid performance from all of its global markets, with Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) surging 24 percent as the Americas and Asia-Pacific rose nine percent each. Footwear revenue trended upward as well at 11 percent over the same period last year and apparel also rising 18 percent.
“As we expand the Brooks brand globally, we’re constantly pushing ourselves to rethink what’s possible — in our products, in the experiences we create, and in the ambitions we pursue alongside runners,” Dan Sheridan, CEO of Brooks said.
Performance shoes still lead the way for the brand as the Adrenaline GTS, Ghost and Glycerin ranked in the top six running footwear franchises year to date at retailers in the United States, according to Circana. Brooks also notes that sales kept the brand at the top market position domestically at specialty retail, holding a commanding top five of seven performance running styles, based on figures from Upper Quadrant’s run market data.
The Hyperion Elite franchise jumped 68 percent year over year in the third quarter as demand remains active in an aggressive racing shoe arena. Trail models held their own in the Brooks lineup, with the Ghost Trail leading a 44 percent rise in the period which also saw the 20th anniversary of the Cascadia franchise.
Brooks also introduced the all-new Ghost Amp, which features SpringRamp technology paired with its DNA HYPE form that the company said is a reimagining of the running experience through a “distinctive energy-return in the forefoot.”
Meanwhile, lifestyle footwear options continue to be the difference maker where the roads of performance and fashionable silhouettes diverge, with the Adrenaline GTS 10 remaining a sales workhorse alongside the reintroduction of the Brooks Vanguard, which dates back to 1976 and is a standout retro runner in eight colors that is built to complete nearly any look.
Brooks said those models helped deliver triple-digit growth in the third quarter along with collaborations with AFEW and Alex Zono. In South Korea, the Alex Zono collection sold out within six hours. And in its New York Fashion Week debut this year, a partnership with Crosby Studios gave a runway-inspired introduction to the brand’s spring 2027 product line.
Apparel has been a crucial part of the company’s revenue haul, with the segment up 20 percent in the third quarter and supported by new styles and core products resonating with customers. Brooks said its Dash collection led the category with a huge 603 percent spike in sales while Momentum Thermal collections leaped 325 percent.
The strong third quarter performance echoes similar results in August, where a record second quarter was fueled by 14 percent growth in the first half of the year as Europe, the Middle East and Africa regions led the charge with a massive 39 percent sales increase.
