The Brooks Ghost 17 (men’s) takes one of the running world’s most beloved shoes to the next level. Designed for those who want a soft, smooth, and responsive stride — perfect for both everyday jogs and longer distances.
The updated, slightly thicker nitrogen-infused midsole, DNA Loft v3, offers lightweight cushioning, a softer landing, and improved spring in both heel and forefoot. Extra padding in the forefoot combined with a 10 mm drop provides a secure and fluid feel step after step, from the first to the last kilometre.
The upper, made of breathable air/jacquard mesh, adapts comfortably to the foot and offers excellent ventilation, while the generously padded tongue and heel counter add extra comfort and a flexible fit that moulds to the shape of your foot — the slightly flared heel collar design reduces pressure on the Achilles tendon.
The outsole features precise flex grooves for a more natural transition from heel to toe, and the rubber outsole is made from durable rubber, strategically placed for optimal grip and wear resistance.
DNA Loft v3 is a nitrogen-injected supercritical material where microscopic bubbles are created in the foam. This construction results in lower weight, a softer landing, and better cushioning. The Ghost 17 has a stack height of 37 mm in the heel and 27 mm in the forefoot. The forefoot cushioning has been increased compared to the previous version, and the drop has been reduced to 10 mm from 12 mm.
Brooks is well known for its well-fitting models. The Ghost 17 is no exception, maintaining the characteristic, comfortable fit with a last that suits most feet.
The result is a distance shoe that stays comfortable kilometre after kilometre — a natural choice for those who want cushioning, responsiveness, and modern design in every detail.
