KEY FEATURES:

• An Engineered Air Mesh upper hugs the foot for a secure but breathable fit. Perforations in the construction allow cool air to permeate, preventing an intolerable build-up of heat and keeping your feet cool and comfortable.

• The 3D Fit Print applies strategic stretch and structure to the upper, improving the fit and feel of the Ghost 15.

• Utilising the updated DNA LOFT v2, the midsole of the Ghost 15 has a unique balance of rubber, air and less dense, lighter foam, providing you with a plush feel and a more lightweight experience than their predecessors.

• Alongside this, a Segmented Crash Pad adds further cushioning and comfort by adapting to each footfall for a smooth, responsive ride to give you the confidence to run at your maximum level knowing you have ample cushioning to guide you through the gait cycle with optimal efficiency.

• Full, blown rubber comprises the outsole for optimal grip and traction.

The Green Silence Ghost 15 demonstrates how Brooks is finding innovative ways to reduce their carbon footprint through the use of recycled materials and low impact dyeing processes. This shoe is a certified Carbon Neutral product.
