The "Launch" and "Green Silence" are two of Brooks' new shoes. Aside from the questionable names they have given these shoes does anyone have any info other than whats on the Brooks site?

I just got a pair of Launch to wear test. The name comes from the boat launch were the hansons meet for most of their runs....
Anyway, the shoe is great. Its a lightweight trainer. Seems to be inbetween the T6 and the Defyance. I will do the majority of my training runs in it. Its by far the best trainer I've worn from Brooks..
green silence is simultaneously the best and worst name ever for a runnng shoe. Absolutely brilliant. I kinda want to find out why Brooks would give a shoe that name, but i'd probably rather not know, it would just ruin the poetic brilliance.
Maybe next year, in a nod to South Park, they can name a shoe the "Brown Noise"
Brooks is channelling Chmosky's famous grammatical but illogical sentence: Silent green ideas sleep furiously. That is, green silence.
I would think Green Silence infers Chomsky's famous puzzle, "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously," but really just showcases Brooks' commitment to environmentally-friendly products. Technically speaking Chomsky would hate it, especially since it's marketing drivel, but as far as running shoe naming goes, it's cool.
I've been an Asics fan for some time, but Brooks' environmental push has me pining for a pair, especially with Road Runner Sports' VIP no-questions return policy.
BTW, You're aware the Green Silence won't be available til February of next year right?
