Brooks retires Ghost 17 as top trail shoe rankings spotlight new favorites

Brooks Running announced the discontinuation of its Ghost 17 model, offering a limited‑time 27% discount of $109 per pair while supplies last. The shoe, launched in May 2025, was praised for nitrogen‑infused cushioning and breathable mesh, but will be replaced by the upcoming Ghost 18.

A separate review of 2026 trail running shoes named Saucony Peregrine 16 the best all‑around option, with Hoka Zinal 3 highlighted for value, Nike ACG Zegama Trail for maximum cushioning, and Altra Experience Wild 3+ for a natural ride. Other notable picks included the Brooks Cascadia Elite for trail racing and La Sportiva Prodigio Pro for technical terrain.
