Ghost 15
Ghost 15 is a neutral road trainer that replaces Ghost 14's full-length DNA LOFT with lighter, softer DNA LOFT v2. The midsole works with a Segmented Crash Pad to smooth the transition from landing through toe-off. An engineered air-mesh upper and 3D Fit Print balance breathability, structure, and an accommodating fit for everyday runs and walking. Recycled polyester supports its certified carbon-neutral design.

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- Achilles official Brooks Japan release states 280g at Men 27.0cm / one shoe.
- Plate note
- The exact Achilles/Brooks Japan release and Brooks US Ghost 15 product page detail the DNA LOFT v2 midsole, Segmented Crash Pad, engineered air mesh, and 3D Fit Print without identifying a carbon structure. This complete construction evidence supports the existing false carbon-plate classification.
