Brooks Ghost Max 2 Running Shoes

Soft, smooth and protective, the Ghost Max 2 delivers maximum comfort for running or walking. Lots of lightweight, soft cushioning resides underfoot alongside a rocker shape which actively helps you move from landing to toe-off, and a broad base adds stability.

Engineered Air Mesh Upper

Ensuring feet remain fresh and cool from start to finish of your adventures, the Ghost Max 2 utilises a breathable mesh upper. Similar to their predecessors, the Ghost Max 2 has a mesh upper, however this time, it is more breathable and even lighter in weight. This will provide you with optimised comfort and a breathable, fresh-wearing experience. Eliminating the risk of overheating, the shoes have strategic perforations in areas that are usually high-heat. Additionally, moisture-wicking properties provide excellent in-shoe comfort, by reducing the risks of sweat and moisture build-up, to keep your feet dry and cosy, especially during those more intense periods of your run. The shoes have a protective, cushioned toe guard to keep toes shielded during your run, and a rigid heel counter to keep feet secure, with soft padding for extra comfort. A plush, padded tongue sits comfortably against your foot and works to prevent dirt or debris from entering the shoes. Working alongside this, a traditional lace-up closure provides a locked-in, secure fit so you can enjoy every stride without in-shoe slipping occurring.

To achieve CarbonNeutral product certification for this style, Brooks has increased their use of recycled materials to lower carbon emissions, then support carbon offset projects to neutralise the emissions they can't yet eliminate.

DNA Loft v3 Midsole

An update from their predecessors, the Ghost Max 2 has a DNA Loft v3 midsole compound for a lightweight companion to provide even more softness and in-shoe comfort than the Ghost Max. This is a nitrogen-infused DNA Loft foam, to keep the cushioning extremely soft, and lightweight, whilst being highly durable to enhance the longevity of the shoe's midsole. The DNA Loft v3 provides feet with a protective feel and easy landings. This design provides energy return to keep you focused on every stride, with shock-absorbing properties to prevent you from becoming uncomfortable and reduce injuries when you're undergoing tough miles. A broad base and solid side walls offer inherent stability, to provide a secure feel. The Ghost Max 2 utilises Brooks' GlideRoll rocker which has an upward curve at the heel and toe to encourage smooth, natural strides, helping to propel you forward.

Blown Rubber Outsole

The Ghost Max 2 features a blown rubber outsole that provides optimised grip and traction on various running surfaces. This ensures confidence across all terrains and offers durability for a firm footing, especially during challenging or uneven periods of your running endeavours. Adorning the outsole is a deep groove at the heel to provide a 'trampoline-like' effect for even more energy return and responsive strides.
