Sometimes, to break new ground, you have to revisit where it all began.
Brooks Running is doing just that with the reintroduction of the Cascadia 1, a shoe that first hit the trails in 2004 and quickly became a legend. Designed in partnership with ultra-running champion and Brooks-sponsored trail athlete Scott Jurek, the Cascadia 1 was never just about function; it was about forging a new path in trail-running innovation. Two decades later, it’s back. But this time, it’s not only chasing records in the mountains—it’s rewriting the rules of lifestyle footwear on city streets.
This isn’t nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. The revived Cascadia 1 stays true to its roots with the same ready-for-anything ethos that powered Jurek across finish lines, enhanced foam cushioning and a ballistic rock shield make the transition from rugged trail to urban jungle seamless.
The iconic yellow colorway—bold, adventurous, and unmissable—is paired with fresh accents and throwback tech like Pivot Post stability and HydroFlow cushioning. It’s a reliable lifestyle staple that adds character to your wardrobe without sacrificing comfort.
The Cascadia 1 offers something rare: authenticity with edge. It’s a shoe for those who value story and substance, who appreciate bold design and quiet innovation. With Brooks’ 110-year legacy behind it and a future-minded approach ahead, the Cascadia 1 serves as a rare bridge between technical heritage and lifestyle flair. It invites wearers not just to follow a path, but to define their own—whether that’s on dirt, concrete, or somewhere in between.
Rediscover the shoe that started it all—and wear it your way. Shop the reissued Cascadia 1 now at BrooksRunning.com.
