Brooks Ghost Max 2

description Brooks Ghost Max 2 Overview

The Brooks Ghost Max 2 is a neutral road running shoe designed for runners seeking significant cushioning. It utilizes DNA LOFT v3 foam to provide exceptional impact protection and a smooth, elevated stride thanks to its rocker geometry. This shoe is particularly well-suited for individuals prioritizing comfort and shock absorption during longer runs or those needing support for heavier runners or individuals with joint sensitivity.

help Brooks Ghost Max 2 FAQ

What changed in the Brooks Ghost Max 2 cushioning?

The Ghost Max 2 uses Brooks DNA LOFT v3 foam, a nitrogen-infused cushioning material used for a softer, lighter ride than older Brooks foam packages. It launched in 2024 as the second version of the Ghost Max line.

Is the Ghost Max 2 for running or walking?

It is sold as a road running shoe, but its wide base, rocker shape, and plush cushioning also make it popular for walking. Brooks positions the Ghost Max line separately from the regular Ghost, which has a more traditional daily-trainer feel.

What is the drop on the Brooks Ghost Max 2?

The Ghost Max 2 uses a 6 mm heel-to-toe drop. That is lower than many traditional Brooks Ghost models, which is part of why the Max version feels more rocker-driven.

How does the Ghost Max 2 fit into Brooks' cushioned shoe lineup?

It sits in Brooks' max-cushion category, below more premium experiments like the Glycerin Max in price and positioning. The Ghost Max 2 is meant to be stable and protective for everyday road miles rather than a fast plated racer.
