Ghost Max 2
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.
