Dick's Sporting Goods is known for stocking top-tier running shoes from brands like Asics, New Balance, and On, but it's also one of the few places online that offers discounts on current running styles you won't find anywhere else. The retailer has slashed prices on Hoka's Clifton and Bondi, among other styles, as well as a few pairs of Nikes. Brooks is now in the mix, and one of its best-looking models has dropped more than $50 in price.
Right now, the Brooks Glycerin StealthFit 21 Running Shoes are on sale for $106 — up to 34% off the regular price of $160. These supportive sneakers have a 4.4-star rating after nearly 150 ratings, making them one of the best-selling running shoes at Dick's. They come in sizes 8 to 14 and come in two colors, tan and white, but the biggest discount is on the former. Brooks' classic Glycerin running shoes are also on sale in select colors, starting at $107.

The Glycerin StealthFit is a neutral running shoe designed to tackle the pavement while also looking great with athleisure chic. It has the same ultra-soft underfoot cushioning, nitrogen-infused DNA Loft foam, and wide running sole as its classic counterpart, but it features a tapered elastic collar and flat-knit mesh upper for a more streamlined, closer-to-the-foot feel. It’s still highly flexible and breathable, and it’s still very comfortable, but it’s much more stylish than its predecessor.
Shoppers noticed the upgrades that came with the StealthFit model, and they were impressed. “The perfect balance of comfort and style,” one shopper said. “I have to say, it’s quickly become my favorite running shoe. The fit is perfect, snug but not too tight, and provides just the right amount of support. The cushioning is top-notch, absorbing shock effortlessly, making my runs feel so much smoother. Plus, the design is sleek and modern, so it looks great whether I’m out running or just wearing it casually.”

Others who trust Brooks’ famous support say it’s on par with the best they’ve worn. “I’ve been wearing the Adrenaline GTS for years,” one shopper began. “As a runner with chronic back and knee pain, the Glycerin is a huge upgrade in terms of cushioning and comfort. Every step feels much more supportive, and the impact is greatly reduced. The StealthFit also works much better than I expected. Unless you’re lacing them up for running, you don’t even need to re-lace them. Just slip them on and they feel secure and comfortable.”
Whether you’re looking for your next ultra-comfortable running shoe or a pair of sneakers that simply look great with joggers and nicer sweatpants, Brooks’ Glycerin StealthFit 21 should be at the top of your list because it’s designed to handle every scenario. But be sure to size up quickly, as Brooks’ styles don’t stay on sale for long.
