Brooks introduced the Ghost in 2008 with the goal of creating a go-to neutral shoe for runners. At the time, our director of product management was known for doing all his running workouts at night — and was therefore nicknamed "the Ghost," which eventually became the shoe’s name.

Throughout the years, runners have loved the Ghost for its soft cushioning, smooth transitions, and its reliability as a daily trainer.

UNDERFOOT COMFORT

Soft cushioning

Updated midsole is now 100% DNA LOFT cushioning for an even softer, smoother ride.

DNA LOFT is our softest cushioning, yet remains durable and doesn’t feel too squishy.
Our cushioning technologies all start with DNA because they react to your unique stride.

FIND YOUR FLOW

Smoother transitions

The new, softer midsole and Segmented Crash Pad team up for easier flow from landing to toe-off.

No matter how your foot strikes the ground, smooth transitions ensure comfort.
If we got it right, you shouldn’t even notice transitions.

ADAPTIVE COMFORT

Improved fit

Our 3D Fit Print upper balances stretch and structure so the shoe adjusts comfortably to your foot.
