Brooks launches Ghost 18 and Ghost Amp running shoes

Brooks introduced two new running shoes. The Ghost 18 replaces the Ghost 17 and adds nitrogen‑infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, a flatter knit tongue, a RoadTack rubber outsole and a wider range of widths. It retails for about $150, comes in more than 20 colourways, and has earned the American Podiatric Medical Association’s Seal of Acceptance for foot health.

The Ghost Amp (also called Ghost Max) received an average rating of 4.9 stars from early reviewers. Users highlighted its highly cushioned ride, smooth heel‑to‑toe transition thanks to Brooks’ GlideRoll rocker geometry, and stable platform that feels comfortable for running, walking and long‑hour occupations such as healthcare work. The shoe is priced at $150 and is quickly selling out.
