"While 2004 was a year of many things - including the launching of Gmail, the end of the television show "Friends," and everyone wearing the yellow LiveStrong bracelets - it was also the year Scott Jurek won his sixth Western States 100 in a Brooks Cascadia prototype and set a new course record of 15:36:27, which stood for six years. Soon after the 2004 Western States, the brand officially launched the Brooks Cascadia 1, which has become a long-standing favorite shoe in the trail running world."
"Leading up to racing that first Western States in the Cascadia, Jurek had been instrumental in designing the shoe, using his deep knowledge of shoes, running mechanics, and race experience to start a shoe line that has now been around for more than two decades. Jurek, who won Western States seven consecutive times, the Badwater 135 Mile twice, and the Hardrock 100, as well as setting a fastest known time on the Appalachian Trail, is nearly synonymous with the Cascadia line."

Brooks continued evolving the line through to the Cascadia 19 and a forthcoming 20th edition and elite version. Brooks has relaunched the Cascadia 1 with modern upgrades: upgraded midsole foam, a protective rock shield, crafted overlays, Pivot Post stability, a 12 millimeter drop, and HydroFlow cushioning presented in classic colorways emphasizing nostalgia and lifestyle appeal.
