I haven’t tried the brooks (good price), but have a pair of Perl Isumi’s that lasted one long run. The laces ripped out when I went to tighten them. Every hardcore runner I know hates Nike’s but I love the Air Max 360, by far the best street training shoe I have tried, spendy but worth it.
My old running partner used Brooks only, swears up and down about them. You should take them in and have a biomechanical analysis and fit, if you like to run enough it's worth it.
