For years, the Brooks Ghost has been the most popular running shoe on the market. The Brooks Ghost Max is a standard Ghost with the comfort dial turned all the way up—it’s a plus daily trainer that feels light on the foot and effortlessly transitions from heel to toe.

DNA LOFT v2 foam provides a soft and stable landing while a GlideRoll rocker helps guide you through your stride for a smooth and cushioned run. With a sleek and simple aesthetic, the Brooks Ghost Max is the perfect shoe for your easy runs or simply wearing with jeans on a casual weekend morning.

WHY PACERS CARRIES THESE SHOES:

Brooks has been the leading brand in running shoes for nearly two decades thanks to their ability to create shoes that feel great and have an accommodating and supportive fit. As many brands have ridden the wave of max cushioned shoes in recent years, Brooks has sat back, waiting until they had the right formula to truly make a great shoe. The Brooks Ghost Max is that shoe. It takes the soft and cushioned step-in feel that runners have come to love from Brooks and put more of it under the foot. The GlideRoll rocker is noticeable while feeling natural and smooth on the run. Despite being a max cushioned running shoe, the Ghost Max feels light under the foot so your easy and long runs never feel like a drag.

WHAT’S NEW:

The Ghost Max is Brooks’ entry into the high stack height, max cushioned arena. This shoe takes everything that has made the Brooks Ghost the top shoe in running and turns the dial up. You have way more DNA Loft v2 foam underneath the foot for a more cushioned experience paired with a GlideRoll rocker for smooth heel-to-toe transition. A broad base lends a stable and secure feeling to every stride.
