Ghost 17
Ghost 17 is a neutral daily trainer for road running and walking. It retains nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 but adds 1 mm of cushioning at the heel and 3 mm at the forefoot versus Ghost 16, while lowering the drop from 12 mm to 10 mm. Precisely placed flex grooves and the segmented crash pad support smooth transitions, and a double-jacquard air-mesh upper with a revised heel collar improves breathability and hold.

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- The retained 286.3 g is the recorded official-US men's value, sample size unspecified. The exact JP PDP lists 285 g at 27 cm; Fleet Feet lists men's 10.1 oz. Source/sample conditions remain distinct, with no new conversion or averaging.
- Plate note
- The exact Japan Ghost 17 product and feature pages fully describe DNA LOFT v3, flex grooves, the segmented crash pad and air mesh without identifying a carbon structure. This complete official construction, with the previously checked REI specifications, supports the retained non-carbon classification.
