I review a lot of items at Run Oregon. One of the perks we get is getting our hands on the best running gear. Its always nice to keep the running closet stocked with the latest and greatest items. I thought I would highlight my favorite gear from April – June 2023. These are NOT the release date of the items – solely the timeframe that my review went live. I’d also note that it’s…
Brooks has partnered with renowned fine artist and illustrator, Queer artist and activist Wednesday Holmes to design this June’s Run Proud Collection. See all our posts about Brooks here! When I first saw the design for the Run with Pride shoes, I immediately thought of the amazing graffiti art murals that has been placed in some parts of Portland Metro. These pieces demonstrate community members coming together to support and celebrate one another. And these…

Obviously, with a name like Run Oregon, we are focused on running. But, as most PNWers are, we aren’t defined solely by our running prowess. We feel we are in the prime location for active exploration – whether that be running on the road, hiking on any number of trails, cross training in our local gym (or garage), or just being out and about in our beautiful state. We are big fans of our PNW…
Brooks knows how to create a great shoe. Simple as that. And then they start having fun. See all our posts of Brooks here! That is how we get the Brooks Run Lucky Collection, complete with limited release Ghost 15 shoes and clothes to remind you how lucky a good run is.

The new Brooks Hyperion Max was one of the first available shoes in 2023. Check out our thoughts! See all our reviews from Brooks! Looks: The Brooks Hyperion Max has one of the more unique color combinations we have seen recently. At first glance, a cloudy green and red/orange combo seems like it should not work.

Brooks has done it again. I’ve jumped on the band wagon with both feet in Brooks and there’s no turning back now. I just reviewed the Brooks Ghost 15 (they are fantastic BTW) and now I’m here for the Levitate GTS 6. For Ghost lovers, these are really different but no less amazing, The Levitate shoe is considered the cornerstone of the Energize category, and the DNA AMP midsole compound is the reason why. See…
