Ghost Max 2

Max CushionRelease date 2024JP

Ghost Max 2 is a max-cushion neutral shoe for running and walking. It upgrades the original Ghost Max from DNA LOFT v2 to nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 and keeps a low 6mm offset. GlideRoll Rocker assists landing-to-toe-off transitions, while a broad base and raised sidewalls add stability without steering a neutral stride. Its Linear Last and double-layer mesh upper add volume for varied foot shapes and orthotics.

Intended uses:
Daily, Recovery, Walking

Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
Brooks Japan official product page lists 305g at 27cm.
Plate note
The exact Brooks Japan and US specifications cover DNA LOFT v3, GlideRoll Rocker geometry, a broad base, and raised sidewalls without identifying any structural carbon component, so this model is classified as not carbon-plated. The CarbonNeutral certification is environmental certification, not plate-material evidence.
