Making running fun…by making fun of it
Perhaps the most prescribed shoe by lazy running store employees for beginner runners, the Brooks Ghost is omnipresent. If you didn’t think apparitions existed before, you sure as hell became a believer when you started seeing the Ghost on the feet of everyone and their mother…and their mother’s mother. Because, apparently, the only prerequisite for donning a pair of the Ghost is having feet
The Brooks Ghost Max 2 features an upgraded DNA LOFT v3 midsole and a noticeable uptick in weight; how does the max cushion shoe stack up to the first version? I put the pair to the test and outline where it fits in Brooks’ lineup.
While the futuristic-looking shoe is eye-catching, the real star of the pair is Brooks’ new DNA Tuned midsole, the first shoe to receive it. DNA Tuned is a nitrogen-infused foam created with dual-sized cell technology—larger cells in the heel and midfoot for soft landings and smaller cells in the forefoot for responsive toe-offs. The result is a ride that both looks and feels amazing.
