Ghost Max 4

$165.00Daily Trainer

The Brooks Ghost Max 4 is a highly cushioned daily trainer for easy, daily, and long runs, focusing on comfort, protection, and durability. It offers an evolutionary update, featuring a lighter design and a plush, accommodating upper. While its DNA Loft v3 foam provides a balanced, smooth ride with inherent stability from a wide footprint, some reviewers found it less lively or innovative compared to other modern foams. It's a dependable workhorse for high mileage, though its $165 price and lack of exciting updates were noted cons.
